Mostly works

Seems to work most of the time, although occasionally did not seem to turn on my switch when it was supposed to. Also, with the latest update, it seems like you can no longer see historical electricity use beyond one week, which is a huge disappointment. I was tracking electricity use over weeks and months, and now that historical data is gone! Please bring back this functionality!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Electricity Usage feature in the OhmPlug app. The database, as of now, only keeps track of usage for 7-day increments. This is something that is being worked on and will be implemented in future versions of the OhmPlug app.

Will not recognize WiFi network

Update: their support team responded quickly to my email: the key is to allow *precise* location permission. This important step is omitted from their app instructions and web site, which I hope is included on their next app update. It now works perfectly and seamlessly with Home.

Using their latest update and a new Ohmplug, and iOS18.1, trying to add a new plug produces a message that it is necessary to connect to a 2.4GHz network, and offers me a Setup WiFi button. Selecting that gives me a popup saying to set all permissions, but all permissions are already set. Therefore installing a new plug is impossible.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for sharing your experience! When you receive the message to provide all permissions to add device, choose Settings. From there, select Location and ensure it is set to Always or While Using and your Precise Location is turned on. Then, return to the OhmPlug app and try again. I hope this helps!

Nonfunctional

I purchased an Ohmplug and downloaded the app on the recommendation of a friend even though I was confused about how it worked (e.g. how it determines the power requirements of plugged in appliances re. saving energy). But I figured accompanying documentation or info. on the website would explain all that - strike one; I could find nothing that explained any of that.

So I figured that I was just being dense and should give it a go. I followed the connection instructions (a number of times in all of the suggested modes) and continually got a connection failed response. I have no other problems with my network or bluetooth connections and went through all of the trouble shooting suggestions via the app without success. I guess the bright side is that I’m only out 12 bucks…
