App doesn't work

This powerbar works very well within the CAB-OB-01 cable management box. This bar's smart functions, however, only allow for setting up on a 2.4Ghz network. My home wifi does both on the same channel, and it was actually necessary for me to setup an older wifi router that only offered 2.4Ghz connections to configure this device. Once setup on the SSID the newer wifi AP also had, it was then able to join. Even as a power bar, it was nice to have the USB power built in.

Nice that it has a built in charger, in my opinion it was worth the price just for that. The WiFi control works OK from the SmartLife app, but I couldn't get it linked to Google Home. The wires seem a bit thin, I would not use it for something that has high power. Also, I modified mine so that one one outlet is controlled, the other two are permanently on (easy mod if you have some soldering skills).

The power strip works as expected with the Smart Life app. However, the Smart Life account can't be linked to Google Home. It shows up in the list of supported platforms, you go through the steps of linking the account but it the end it simply doesn't show up in the devices.

Can control from the app, set timer and schedule but sadly no dusk/dawn options. However, Alexa can't seem to find it during device discovery. Tried with both the Smart Life and Tuya app and their corresponding skills, account linking done successfully but still no go, clearly something is wrong as many others have reported the same issue.
