HBN Smart Plug 15A, WiFi&Bluetooth Outlet Extender Dual Socket Plugs Works with Alexa, Google Home Assistant, Remote Control with Timer Function, No Hub Required, ETL Certified, 2.4G WiFi Only, 2-Pack

Bought this smart double plug to control under cabinet LEDs in our kitchen. I was already frustrated that the lights were taking 2 outlets and I didnt want to have to use 2 smart plugs - this was the perfect solution! It plugs in to a single plug and was super simple to set up with our Google Home. Its been about a week and so far no issues, just a much more convenient life! Will definitely consider HBN smart plugs in the future because their systems are so simple to set up and their configurations are so unique.

I have three of these now. It is so easy to just say Alexa turn on the christmas lights and everything goes on at one time.

I have several different brands of smart plugs that I control through the Smart Life app. I wanted to add a double outlet, and ordered this one at a good price from Amazon. The set up instructions were confusing at best, so I contacted BN-Link customer service for help. The plug turned out to be defective, so the company quickly sent a replacement. A couple things I did learn about connecting this plug - select BLE + Wi-Fi as the device to add to Smart Life. There are two buttons on the plug, only need to push one of them for power to connect Wi-Fi to the whole outlet. The two outlets on the app and the plug aren’t separately identified - you have to plug something in to see what controls what. In spite of the quirky instructions and the initial problems, the unit is working well now. Thank you to Steven, Darren and Dianna in customer service for their help.

but once I watched the video on Amazon [with the product], it wasnt bad. The written directions were not thorough enough. Since it wasnt quick and easy, I procrastinated on setting them up. It was super easy after watching the video and only took me a few minutes to get them all online. They are working beautifully with my Alexa, and I will definitely be purchasing more. I love the ability to name each outlet on the plugs. The routines were really easy to set up. Great value for the money!

This works wonderfully, but the directions to connect to alexa were not straight forward and difficult to figure out.

Working well so far, its only been a month. It was a little tricky getting it to recognize my wifi but that is more a user learning curve than a product issue.

This item was pretty easy to figure out, and easy to install. I wish the app had a way to put the plug in the room or area of your home it is installed in to make it easier to control with Alexa, but thats not extremely important. I can control it, I just have to take a few extra steps. Double sided plug makes it easier to control two devices with one plug. Not great if you only have one thing to control in an area. For example, if you want to use a fan in your bedroom and have nothing else to plug in the socket to control with Alexa, I dont suggest using this socket. Maybe use a lamp or something in the other side. Its wasted with nothing in it.

Figured these would be pretty straightforward - some fancy plugs. What could go wrong? Well, first of all they’re huge, so just make sure you have space for them. Second of all, you cannot use these without creating an account through their app. Like cannot use them whatsoever. I mean maybe they work as normal outlets, but that’s not why you’re here, and that’s not why I bought them. I also found out later that since these are WiFi only (and not Wifi + Bluetooth) you can’t really use these for a wifi router. Even though I learned this too late and couldn’t return them, I ended up buying the Govee plugs instead and those have been super awesome. Both the product and the app work much better than with this one. The Govee ones are also much higher quality for the same (or lower) price. I definitely recommend those as a first choice! These feel like fisher price plugs in comparison. Good luck!

I got really frustrated trying to set up these plugs. I intended to connect them to my Alexa, but the initial HBN app connection was so confusing that Im worried the Alexa set up will be just as painful. I was stuck on one of the first steps because it told me to turn the outlet on with the power button. Not sure why it says that because there is no power button!!! My husband had to step in and figured it out for me, and thank goodness for him. (Instead of a power button, you just hold down one of the front arrow buttons while its plugged in until it flashes blue. At that point, the app should detect the outlet and the setup is straightforward from there) Despite the headache, so far I really like these plugs. Believe it or not, but the painful setup wont deter me from buying more smart products made by HBN.

Bought two of these for half the price of the Amazon outlets, and they absolutely work great! Yeah you have to download the HBN app and make an account, but once you do, they are easy to pair up and name. Each outlet can be individually named, like Fan or Plant light for example. Once that is done, Alexa will see them and allow you to operate them by voice using the names you gave them. Great buy, seamless integration, highly recommend. Thanks HBN!
