Ratings and Reviews
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!

I really like the app and the plug the company provided for free. It gives really great information about amps voltage and watts . Giving you the ability to see how much energy your device is consuming. In turn the ability to calculate your cost of usage .
All in all am really impressed and grateful to be apart of this project/journey towards reducing costs and impact on our limited resources. .
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the positive feedback! We are thrilled to hear you are using the Electricity Usage feature to calculate the cost of usage. Thank you for all of your energy-saving efforts, we appreciate you being part of the OhmConnect community.
