I remember him from News Radio I think it was and then he was the host on fear factor. I watched the show, but I never really cared for him. Then he got all into MMA I think. I am just using my plugs for lights right now. We have the ones above our cabinets in the kitchen and then one in the living room and one in the bedroom.

I remember him on Fear Factor but I never watched it. Ahh, I see. I'm looking forward to experimenting with them to see what uses I can find. I always assumed you needed Alexa or Echo to run them and have never been keen about non-Apple "smart speakers" due to privacy concerns but just recently found out you can operate them outside of those ecosystems.
Yeah, I bought the Gosund plugs and I use them in conjunction with Google Home. We don't do any of the voice stuff. Even though I am sure my phone is listening to me anyway, it still creeps me out. My wife is pretty anti Alexa as well. How does it know when you say hey Alexa if it isn't listening!
I got mine yesterday and they're all set up. I'm just running them with the Kasa app but plan on seeing what I can accomplish with the IFTTT app. It seems like the "listening" from the mobile phones is getting more intrusive. My Google newsfeed is populated with ever more pertinent stories/ads. I agree, it's more creepy than it is helpful.
