BroadLink Smart Plug (NoAPP Version), Mini Wi-Fi Timer Smart Outlet Socket Works with Alexa/Google Home/IFTTT, No Hub Required, Remote Control Anywhere

If this is what youre looking for, this all youll need.

Cheap and nice sized. Takes up only one outlet. Works with Alexa.

Does NOT work. I have tried so so many times It isnt worth the headache.... app does not work and alexa app tells you tp install the app that does not work

The good: I had no problem setting this up using a web browser on a Mac Mini. The bad: It works just often enough that I dont unplug it and store it away, but not often enough that Im surprised when it doesnt. I currently use it to turn on and off a light mounted behind my TV (which acts a bias light), but I typically issue the command to Alexa before I sit down, as I never know when I am going to get Sorry, <name of smart plug> is not responding. I would estimate it works 70-80% of the time. I have other brands of smart plugs and switch (TP-Link Kasa and Etekcity Voltson) and they very, very rarely have an issue. One of these is perhaps 1.5 feet from the Broadlink plug, but never seems to have a problem. Ive tried the usual technique of disabling and re-enabling the Broadlink skill for Alexa, and it seems to make no difference. The one time I checked the app, it wasnt working there either, although I cant verify that is always the case. UPDATE: Ive noticed when I check the app when the plug doesnt respond, the status of the plug in the app is out of sync (e.g, if the plug is on, the app shows it as off, and visa versa). Thus far this has been the case every time Ive checked the app when the plug wont respond to Alexa or Google Assistant. Also, the Broadlink app will install on a M1 (or M2) based Mac.

had hard time connecting with alexa. once tired with google home it worked nicely

Bought this because it was on sale for $5 and because it said No App. The last thing I wanted was to have to set up another account somewhere with another password to remember. Long-story-short: - Im pretty tech-savvy - I couldnt figure it out - I even watched a video that showed you how to set it up - I went through the set up following the video steps and I still ended up with a screen on my Android phone asking me to establish an account with Broadlink - Didnt bother putting it back in the box. I tossed the box, instructions, and the plug into the trash. Life is too short to get stressed out over a $5 plug. Ill stick to the Amazon branded plugs even if theyre more expensive. Theyre always putting them on sale, so thats a good opportunity to buy a few. But do not waste your time on this complicated mess.s

This comes at a great price and I chose it to go with the rest of the broadlink ecosystem in my bedroom, but I will say that regardless of the trigger it is pretty slow to activate. I control it through a couple of Google routines, a broadlink light switch and a broadlink button, but theres a delay in all cases, more so than other smart home products I have and even more than a broadlink light bulb.

Alexa knows the on/off state (or the on and off command are different), so you can have an timed routine to turn it off that wont turn it on if it is already off. Quiet operation. One tiny thing: Is ink really so expensive that the instructions cant be higher contrast?

I bought this three pack with a new echo dot. Echo was easy to install and set up. Pretty much did it itself. These smart plugs seemed easy but I wasted a whole day trying to set up following their included instructions and connecting via the broadlink network that appears in your WiFi when plug them in. Basically you go thru the steps telling the plug your 2.4 ghz network ssid to use and pw. Then you’re supposed to get a confirmation email from them and be good to go to set up in Alexa. FALSE. I tried a million times. Even turning off router access to 5 ghz. Googled for troubleshooting from other users and reviews. Watched many YT videos on it, even Broadlinks own official one. Finally called uncle and called Amazons “get expert help”. Not knocking her, the cs rep tried. Mainly making sure you’re using 2.4 ghz. Finally after 42 mins on phone she sends me link to send message to the seller directly. No kidding I worked in this from 8 am till like 4. Finally sent email to broad link. Woke up to a response next morning that asked if I tried downloading the broadlink app. What? Yes there was an app the broadlink WiFi link had me install and supposedly linked it to my Amazon acct which I’m not happy about. It’s called ihc. Seems fishy. I deleted it of course after it couldn’t connect to the plug. End of this long story. I downloaded the broadlink app and it recognized the plug and rest was easy. The plugs have been working for a day now so can’t comment on how reliable they are yet. I’m only using them to turn lights on and off for now so pretty basic. I’ll never buy from broadlink again and still may return these out of principle. Horrible of broadlink not to include proper instructions or admit their NoApp concept while great idea isn’t working apparently. Hope this saves someone else a lot of time!

Muy fáciles de instalar y programar. También funcionan con 220V aunque sólo diga 110v . Excelentes!!
