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

Theres nothing better that I could find when you account for Google & Alexa compatibility, ease of setup, and price. Ive tried many, and this is now my go-to plug.

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

I consider myself pretty tech savvy and cant figure this one out ... All of these smart plugs honestly tend to give connection issues... This one is no different.... Just spend 3 more dollars ..

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.

These worked ok for a while. I switched internet service providers from century link to xfinity. I got the new xfi router. These unfortunately don’t work with the xFi router because it combines all the band - 2.4GHz 5GHz etc. now they are useless.

Im in awe at how easy this was to set up, given the depressing amount of time Ive spent fussing with WeMo plugs. Exactly as the instructions say: 1) plug in 2) connect to the Broadlink SSID 3) Wait for the system to tell you to sign in to broadlink 4) Input your real SSID & password, also email and name your plug 5) activation email arrived in 30 seconds 5) Open Google Home app, add device, select NoAPP 6) Wait for 7-digit email code and input Thats it. No downloading apps. No passwords. Even the EULA was short enough to read.

Even with my smarty pants sons, they found it challenging to get set up.

An easy way to add remote control to most any appliance that plugs in. Works great with our Google Home system.

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. ******************

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.
