GHome Smart Plug Mini WP3 (4-pack)

Cheap, capable plugs for Alexa and Google homes, held back by a weak app and no Matter.

The short version

Buy it if
  • Alexa or Google Assistant homes that want cheap plugs for lamps and fans
  • People who want detailed timers such as cycle or random schedules
  • Anyone who doesn't mind a basic third party app
Skip it if
  • You use Apple Home or want Matter
  • You need energy monitoring
  • You want to fit two plugs in one outlet
  • Your router only offers 5GHz

What owners like

  • Low price per plug
  • Flexible scheduling, including cycle and random timers
  • Works with Alexa and Google Assistant routines without a hub
  • Setup is fairly quick once the phone is on a 2.4GHz network

Common complaints

  • The app has ads, spelling errors and asks for a lot of permissions
  • The round body is too wide to fit two plugs in one duplex outlet
  • No Matter, Thread or HomeKit support
  • The GHome name and logo look a lot like Google Home, which one reviewer called misleading

Based on The Amazon listing, the Gosund WP3 user manual hosted with that listing, hands-on reviews from Squid Reviews and Digitized House, and the Smart Home Explorer 2026 smart plug guide.

What it does

A 4-pack of small Wi-Fi smart plugs that switch lamps and small appliances by app, schedule or voice; the Gosund plug is now sold under the GHome Smart Plug Mini name.

  • Switch devices from the app, by voice, or with the button on the plug
  • Schedules, countdown timers and a random mode for when the house is empty
  • Group control and family sharing in the app
  • Reviewers note extras such as a cycle timer, child lock, offline alerts and a setting for what the plug does after a power cut
  • Sold as a 4-pack

A low cost way to put lamps, fans and holiday lights on schedules or voice control through Alexa or Google Assistant, with no hub. The trade-offs are the app, which reviewers found cluttered with ads and rough edges, a round body that blocks the second outlet, and no Matter or HomeKit support. Buyers who want energy monitoring or Apple Home should look at Kasa or Tapo instead.
