Timer shuts off
I used this for a year and it worked fine, but recently the timer shuts itself off periodically. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled, reset the switch, changed batteries to no avail. Can’t trust it’ll work anymore.

Super buggy
I've only had the app & smart outlet for a couple days, the app isn't very responsive and the wifi connectivity is basically nonexistent. I wish it would pop up networks to use rather than type in the network and password, I had to go back to just a regular outlet
