> 24 hourIt was a little difficult in setting up. There should be better instructions in how to get the bluetooth setup.

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourJust received my dual outlet smart plug. I downloaded the the Smart Life app and was connected in a few minutes. I also set up timers for both plugs in less than a minute. Very easy.

> 24 hourFigured 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!

> 24 hourSetup a pain because the app does not picture this plug, just a single one. Was confused because second outlet blue lite doesnt work.. and at first after setup that outlet would app select..but no power! Then all of sudden had power to...huh? Anyhoo using to automate home theater off/on...to reduce vampire standby power draw. Note other comments about setup directions true.. just awful. So far, so good. Goes on sale..will buy another twin pack.

> 24 hourI got this plug for my bearded dragons lights as I will be out of state for a weekend and I cant torment her with keeping the lights on 24/7. I tried to see if I could turn the lights on and off from my office at work (literally not even 5 minutes away from my apartment) and it says the plug is offline. The automation I set up to turn the lights off at 12am and on at 9am, did not work. I was so excited for this to arrive because I would feel confident her lights would go on and off each morning and night but now I am terrified I will come back from my trip and my bearded dragon will be frozen to death if the lights havent turned on. If someone would be kind enough to help, that would be great but in the meantime...might have to put her through the pain of having her heat lamps and UVB light on for the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I am gone. Wifi and internet speed consistently show they are top notch and full speed so there is no reason for this to be happening. Might have to return this and just go for a manual timer plug. I liked the remote one as I could have the security of knowing her lights were on and off every night.

> 24 hourGreat price. like having 2 outlets in one plug that will operate independently. Works well with my 2.4 network has not dropped signal in over a month. Set up with SmartLife app and use with Google Voice.

> 24 hourI purchased a smart plug with 2 outlets and one with three outlets to light my outside Christmas lights. I was using a typical remote control unit that’s outside rated until I found this product. Despite my skepticism, it was extremely easy to set up and is working very well even in the -33 degrees Fahrenheit windchill we’ve been expressing for the last few days. I am very impressed and happy with this purchase. Will definitely recommend this product.
