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

So many hoops to go thru to activate !

They do work, some of the time. Had a really hard time getting them to connect to my dedicated 2.5 router. Takes a very long time for some of them to ever connect. I tried the NoApp option as well as both Broadlink and IHP apps. One unit that was disconnected from its power source, lost all of its programing. Could never get it to reconnect. Finally have given up and am trying another brand that I have a much better success rate with (Meross).

I purchased this product to add to my connected devices in my house. When I received the plug, it came with instructions that were convoluted and it gave multiple instructions for multiple apps and not one app made the plug work. Not to mention the fact that it would not, after all the hours I spent attempting to connect it to the apps and then to Alexa, it never connected to anything that would make it work. Fortunately, I purchased it through Amazon so I had the opportunity to return it.

I have set up 3 of these, and thankfully, I still had the instructions for the 3rd one, because it is NOT straightforward nor simple...and I am a techie!! If I ever needed to set these up and did not have the instructions, it would be impossible. Physically, they are a bit large and while you *can* plug them in with something else in the other side of a duplex outlet, you will have an issue if the other thing is more than a simple plug.

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.

Did work to good

Excelente

Late delivery. Why do i pay for Amazon Prime? Ok, the important part. DOES NOT WORK WITH ALEXA. It works, on it’s own, after you install 2 different apps. Both from Broadlink. But then try to link it to Alexa and you’re out of luck. First it wants you to create an account so they can get your email address. Then it wants access to Bluetooth. Then it wants to go on and on. I gave up. Will work it from their app. Again, it works, but is needlessly complicated in setting up. It’s like trying to install a 3rd party app on an iPad. Ok so it was $20 cheaper than an Amazon SmartPlug (that are way overpriced) but it almost isn’t worth it. Buy it if you want a cheap alternative to Amazon but don’t expect it to work with Amazon. Oh yeah, did i mention setting a routine? 24 hour clock. Who made this thing? The French? ************** 5 months since purchased. Stopped working. ******************

I like I can turn lights on and off where I am at.

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