The only drawback is that the plugs only work on my wi-fi's 2.4ghz output, which means I've had to change the Echo to that as well from the 5ghz output (the plug and the Echo need to be on the same signal). It doesn't seem to have made any discernable difference though.
In any case, I am planning on getting a Dot in the near future and, when I do, I'll use the Dot (connected to the 2.4ghz signal) to control the lights and revert the Echo back to the 5ghz signal.
