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

This item does not work AT ALL... I plug it in and set it up following BOTH directions that it came with as well as YouTube and it will not work! I even contacted Amazon for a refund and they told me to send it back and I would get a refund!! I have since sent it out TWICE and BOTH TIMES it was delivered back to me in the mail!! its a very crappy product that for some reason is being rejected when I ship it back with Amazons return label!!

Im not normally a fan of wifi devices, but these are impressive to say the least. Installing them is as simple as plugging them in, opening the connection to the device on the wifi of your phone and activating them with the phone. Ive had no trouble with them disconnecting, or failing. They work extremely well and the range they pick up is phenomenal. My phone will barely connect to the hub I have them on where theyre located but they work flawlessly. Im impressed. I have three of these in my shop a good 40 or more feet from my hub thats in my house. Im blown away that they dont lose connection that far away. Once theyre installed, all I had to do was look for them in Alexa and use them. No app needed. Thats impressive stuff right there.

The smart plug resets itself about every 90 seconds. Which is annoying because its hooked up to a light. Ive even tried just using it as a digital switch, removing all the timers and everything out of the settings. I dont know. Its just junk. Too bad I thought it was a problem with high power draw for an another device now I am out of the return window.

THESE ARE NOW IN THE TRASH WHERE THEY BELONG! Ive wasted more time on trying to get the Broadlink app and Alexa to discover these. I finally got them to find one, and within an hour it Alexa said it was unresponsive and remains that way. Tried 2 more but could not get them to be recognized. I have a background in computer system and have several other brands of plugs (along with numerous Echo devices) that I have connected to Alexa. Buy this if you enjoy being frustrated by devices that dont do what the manufacturer says it will.

My home is not a smart home, and I dont need it to be, I just needed one light to turn on without messing with a poorly designed switch. This plug replaced an old remote plug that was turning itself on repeatedly throughout the day. The plug was easy to install using the Google Home app I already have and has worked to turn a pole light on-and-off. I mostly use the button on the device itself (the outlet is easy to get to) but the remote function through Google Home has come in handy too. I have had no problems with the plug triggering itself on or going offline in the 3 months Ive used it. I likely wont need another smart plug for a long time, but this one would be my first choice to repurchase.

Pretty easy setup and simple integration with Alexa. Broadlink has software available, but if youve already got a smart device controller (I use an Echo Show 5), then youre good to go. This is the least expensive smart plug I found, and it works great. Only downside is its a different manufacturer than my other smart plugs (which are Kasa brand), so I dont have the same scheduling tool, but Alexa brings it all together nicely and this works really well.

Pain in the butt to set up while even following the directions to a T. After 3 attempts it finally works and work well.

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!

Super easy to install! Works with my alexa device so i can control it anywhere in the house (or while im away!)

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.
