BN-LINK Smart Wi-Fi Plug Outlet, Remote Control by App, Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, Weatherproof, Requires 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, ETL Listed

Its able to survive the elements and will work as expected, however its finicky to get into pairing mode to join the WiFi network. Once you get past that, its a cinch to control. I love that it works with the SmartThings app so I dont need to install yet another app. My router died recently and the replacement uses the same SSID for the 2.4 and 5Ghz networks, so now I need to go though the pain one more time for setup! Other than that, its a decent unit.

I find the Smart App for them better than the BNLink app. It takes a while to figure out things like Dusk to Dawn setting - not obvious. But once done Scenes is brilliant.

Installation can be confusing, expect to spend a few minutes on that part. I use it with Alexa to turn on/off outdoor holiday lights and it works perfectly.

Product was easy to sync to our phone. We definitely enjoy the convenience of being able to use our phone but to turn on the lights before arriving home. The only thing sort of odd but an easy work around is red means on and blue is off. Maybe I’m just wired differently but that was strange. Product arrived quickly and the description matched the product.

Nice soft glow,but very bright.Hope the photo helps you decide. I’m going to buy more right now for more village houses . John Colorado Springs

This plugs works great ..plug and play function , integrated with my google home app. No more going out to unplug lights

Its negative 6 degrees (F) in Maine this morning. I dont have to go outside to plug mats in to defrost snow, just have to tell Alexa to turn heated mats on, she says okay and the snow melts off porch and steps.

This is an edited response and a revised rating. I bought five of these because we have a lot of porches and landscape lighting and water features on different circuits. We have a nest mesh system and strong, consistent wifi signal to the two of these I have set up so far. One of these devices kept being dropped from the set up. However, after the third set up it has worked fine for a week now. It wasnt the wifi signal. This may be a mystery that is never solved, but it is working fine now and I didnt want my harsh assessment from the earlier failures to stand. The other one, father away, has worked flawlessly from the start.

I bought 2 of these for our Christmas lights. Easy to install. I did have to purchase a Wi-Fi extender because one of the plugs was too far from the house which I didn’t anticipate. Once I installed the extender, we didn’t have any connectivity issues.
