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

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?

My advice to not tech savvy users: Read carefully and be patient, or just get someones help instead. These are easy to set up if you have some decent skills. I just followed the instructions in Alexa and set em up in 5 minutes, even though its my first step into the smart home world. I used one for my coffee maker. Awesome. A second one to get my laptop switching between battery and electricity (A simple routine to turn on/off every 2 hours), for the sake of battery life spam. Used the third one with the light of my daughters room so I can go to bed and it doesnt stay on all night. Soooo many different uses, Ill get more in the future.

Great price…but confusing to set up but I did i

Excellent product!. Works great, I even use one with Alexa to trun on my fan. They are very easy to install and I dont worry about turning them off, with the delay function in the app, it happens automatically.

Broadlink even sent me a replacement for the first one I bought. I thought it was broken but it failed just as miserably as the first plug. I spent hours trying to connect this plug and actually stumbled onto the proper sequence once. But the real problem is how easily the device resets itself and then you have to reconnect it again. I spent two more hours without success and went with a slightly cheaper competitor and I’d recommend any considering this plug to do the same. The competitors device was easy as pie but this plug failed as flat as a pancake.

I am having additional lighting installed in my Alexa enabled smart home and purchased these outlets so my new lighting will have voice control. I set one of these up and added the skill to Alexa and it works great. Hope my electrician can get these installed so all my pendants and under cabinet lights will be voice controlled. The price was reasonable. Im very happy with this purchase.

Awkward length compared to my round smart plug. Wish there was a manual override for non-smart phone user. Difficult to set up. I had to try several times, following instructions. Has ability to place a timer on plug.

I wanted to like this product. After all, Im into Smart Home stuff and have quite a collection of working smart things (even one of those Smarthings). First of all this was advertised as Not needing another app to clutter up my cell phone, but step 2 of the installation instructions (after powering on the unit) was to download the app to my phone. WHAT? Well, ok I can deal with that for the other promised benefits of easy to install and all. Unfortunately, it wasnt that either. I tried all of my tricks to getting recalcitrant smart devices to tow the mark, but could not get them to even respond to any connection request. Fed up, I sent them packing back to Amazon (thank you to Amazon for their really good return procedures). I may have been having a bad day, but these things were not ready for prime time. Save yourself some time, money and frustration and get something else.

I spent all afternoon trying different ways to get it to connect to its own app or my google home. There was no instructions with it, I tried youtube for help.
