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

These things are hard to setup with google Home but eventually I beat it to submission. After almost a year, my unit failed but went directly to manufacturer with the issue after confirming warranty was one year and their support team issued a replacement immediate with no questions asked.

I bought this to go with some string lights I installed over my patio. I was specifically looking for something that could be controlled via Bluetooth because I live in a two family house and wanted both apartments to be able to control it without having to be on the same Wi-Fi network or share a physical remote. I also didn’t want to worry about batteries or losing the remote, so phone app control seemed ideal. After reading other reviews saying Bluetooth didn’t work I was concerned, but bought it anyway because I didn’t find good alternatives with Bluetooth. The apps and the process of connecting them to the dimmer is the only criticism I have. After installing the manufacturers app I couldn’t get it to work with Bluetooth, but once I installed the Smart Life app the Bluetooth controls worked fine. It also worked well via Wi-Fi and via Google Home by voice command. If you are entirely non-technical just buy one with a physical remote. By the way, I did not try to set it up initially using bluetooth. All settings are retained after being unplugged, so if you plan to use it with bluetooth you dont need WiFi to reach the area where youll actually be using it. I plugged it in inside my house, configured it via WiFi and then moved it to the outdoor location. The dimming function was excellent but it turns out the lights at their brightest are just fine, so I don’t anticipate using the dimmer function — I’ll just be using the physical on/off switch on the unit. It is still a great deal for me as it is a great price even just for a waterproof outdoor switch.

This smart plug worked fantastic. Met all expectations.

Easy to use. App is super convenient. Highly rec.

I was not able to pair it with bluetooth to configure it but was able to do it manually. I tried multiple phones so there is some issue with the bluetooth. It does not seem very well made so well see how long it lasts. I expected a hard rubber casing buts thinner plastic. I probably should have sent it back because of the bluetooth issue but Ill just try to go with it.

Worked great for about 8 months, then it dims, shuts on and off at random. I liked it a lot when it worked.

Every device you can control with Alexa seems to install a little different. Some require app some dont. This one required a Skill. Not a problem just follow directions. If you have many plugs, lamps etc, as I do save the instructions for later use. Worked great for outside Christmas lights. Tied all the Christmas lights together with an Alexa routine.

Poorly written directions, tiny font. App didnt recognize the plug with the correct name.

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
