These work as a remote switch for any device that can be plugged in. You can use an app on your phone to turn them on or off, or set timers for certain times of day or to turn them off after a certain time. They can be controlled even when your not home. This will be fine with any device that will not have issues if you would just pull the plug. Lights, fans, or stuff like that. My only problems are that they’re a tad bulky, so they won’t really work as well with a surge protector. And that they can only run on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, which can be confusing when setting them up, and now that 5GHz is practically the norm and 10Ghz is starting to come out I don’t have the Amazon Echo, so I can’t comment on Alexa compatibility, but the app does allow you to create groups and shortcuts with Siri on iPhone, and probably does the same for Alexa

I use a combination of BN, Wyze and Hue. For the price the BN stuff is great. The programming is a little bit more fussy (similar to IFTTT programming) and the timer isnt *quite* as precise, but they always work and they work well. The Hue and Wyze plugs are always in sync down to the second. The BN products always seem to be about 22-30 seconds behind - not a huge deal. But if you want everything to be perfectly in sync you might want to keep all the brands the same in your chain.

Product is very convenient that you can control in app or with Alexa. I like to have one to the bedroom light and turn it on before I get there and turn it off from my bed. I also use it to set up timers to turn it on and off. One wasn’t working properly and the support was quick to respond. Steven resolved the issue and followed up later, which was really appreciated.

I purchased a four-pack of the smart plugs and set them up using the posted instructions. These integrated with my Alexa very simply and are very convenient to use. However, one of the four plugs would not link properly. I contacted customer service they responded very quickly (several e-mails in the same day). The service tech Steven walked me through the setup. Once it was determined that the unit was defective, they sent out a new unit right away (I had it in two days). Good customer is so very rare these days. It is nice to see it still exists at BN-Link Support!

Works gr8 after long trial & error. Took a half hr of trial & error getting it 2 connect. Printed Instructions are terrible & app doesnt help either (missing a step or 2)! After I got it 2 connect it worked gr8! Def better than old-fashioned manual crank timers that I was used 2, & more versatile.

These work as expected and I like that they are rectangular so two will fit in an outlet (the round ones only one fits). My only complaint is they always have a light shining. Blue when off is especially upsetting since I have them in a bedroom and blue light is bad for sleep. I had to put tape over the lights on the plugs so they wouldnt shine in my bedroom at night.

I’ve been looking for the right timer for my reptiles and this was the best and easiest purchase I’ve made
