BN-LINK WiFi Heavy Duty Smart Plug Outlet, No Hub Required with Timer Function, White, Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, 2.4 Ghz Network Only (2 Pack)

These were tricky to connect to my WiFi at first. My signal is spotty in some places throughout my house, so I can’t say whether that was a fault of the product or my WiFi. Once connected, however, they have worked flawlessly, and I would highly recommend!

The plugs work great…exactly as described. You probably can’t use it behind a piece of furniture because of the plug location, in the front of it. A side location would be better. . I brought this for a light on a serving piece. Once I plugged the lamp in, the server was too far from the wall, so I couldn’t use it in the intention I wanted to. All of that is my fault, as the dimensions are provided & it’s quite clear in the pic, that you plug it into the front of it. I just thought I’d share my experience, for others considering using it in the same capacity.

Bought these to use with two AC window units.. works good with the 8000 btu unit but keeps tripping on the 12000 one... gets hot and shuts down. Not Heavy Duty.

Using these to automate turning on and off Christmas Lighting in the house. They do the job perfectly. I took one star off because I had to download another app to control these even though I am already using another BN-Link App to control other BN-Link Products. Also having it integrated with Alexa is a Negative as far as Im concerned.

Most were gifts.

This product is very reliable (so far). No issues with connecting to wifi. I like it a lot.

I am physically handicapped and have a difficult time of moving around, especially in the dark. As such, I have used a remote controlled receptacle for years to ease my turning my bedside light on before I enter my room. It worked great for me for several years. Recently that receptacle just stopped working. I dont know if it got worn out over time or what. I went online to look for a replacement. I had just bought two Amazon Echos, one of which is in my room, so when I ran across this item and it said it was controllable by Alexa, I thought it would be perfect. I do not recall how long ago I bought it, but it was at least a month and possibly two. I have tried to set it up to work with Alexa, but while I have been left to trust that it can work with Alexa, the way it is described in the add on the Amazon page suggests that it is far more ready to take on that function than it is. The most annoying thing is that it comes without any instructions. You must download an app to even learn how to use it. It is somewhere in the app that you finally find it telling you that it can be connected to Alexa, and all you have to do is go down this mile long rabbit hole and hope you dont make a wrong turn anywhere along the way to accomplish that. It tells you you have to name the device and then you go to just such a spot in the Alexa app to tell her to start controlling the device with that name, but the Alexa app doesnt make it at all readily apparent where youre supposed to go to do that sort of thing. The BN-LINK app tells you to go to such and such a place, but there is no clear marking in the Alexa app to let you know where youre supposed to find that particular place, and as yet, I just havent found it. I do have other things in life to attend to than trying to figure out how to tell Alexa that she is to control a receptacle called bedside light or something to that effect. As it is, I am left compelled for now to reach down to the receptacle where it is plugged into a crowded surge protector on the floor next to my bed and push its on/off button by hand. That is how I control my bedside light now. Im not impressed. I am a very computer savvy individual. I have multiple WiFi devices and generally use them without difficulty. I build my own PCs. Given all that, I think it is fair for me to say this company has done a disservice to say they are Alexa compliant and not put a simple instruction sheet in the box that shows, step-by-step, what you need to do and where in the Alexa app you will find what you need to find and what the icons look like when you get there. As it is, this is nothing more than a receptacle you can control by pushing a button to turn it on and off, and I would have never purchased that had I known how far from readily apparent it is to make it Alexa complaint. This manufacturer is irresponsible and just finding it all to wonderful to be able to claim control by Alexa without offering serious assistance in getting that accomplished. And I know there are many people who are far less computer and WiFi savvy than me.

These are great plugs that work with the Smart Life app. I bought a set last year and couldnt be happier. I got 2 more sets but it appears they removed the energy monitoring capabilities. As long as you dont care for that, these are great plugs. Unfortunately for me, its a big deal so these will be going back to Amazon.

Works great with aquarium lights. Easy to program and set up!

These work great. Can’t figure out on/off schedule. There seems to only be scheduling on option. Instruction pamphlet was extremely difficult to read, so finally had to google you tube video to set up/pair with my smartphone.
