> 3 dayI recently bought the HBN Smart Plug 15A and it has been a lifesaver! I was using regular plugs in my living room and it always left me feeling frustrated. With the HBN Smart Plug though, I find myself spending less time trying to unplug things and more time enjoying my living room. One particular experience that had me laughing was when I tried to explain this new device to my mom. She didnt understand what Alexa or the WiFi & Bluetooth Outlet Extender was all about, so I jokingly plugged one of her lamps into the socket and told her that I could just ask Alexa to turn it off. Her jaw dropped when she saw it work, and then she asked if this meant she no longer had to get up from her chair every time she wanted to flick a switch! The HBN Smart Plug is easy to install, works well with Alexa and makes life a little bit easier. Highly recommend getting one for your home!

> 3 dayI have six of dual receptacle model and they are far and away the best Ive tried; several brands have done very poorly here, notably Wemo, they cant seem to find the devices, although there is a strong signal, and moving them often required reinstalling which was tedious; in contrast these work flawlessly, the Bluetooth feature immediately finds the device bypassing the need to manually install, and onces you given your WIFI password once youre good to go for the other devices. The software adapts perfectly to changes. I plan to purchase light switches as well.

> 3 dayMake sure you use the Smart Life app. These are so easy to set up. Like having the advantage of two sockets from one outlet. Bought two and both work well with Alexa

> 3 daySo far I like it. But I cant say too much about the original HBN app, because I deleted it and I am currently using the Smart Life app instead. The instruction leaflet that the socket came with can use a little updating. It was confusing and it took several tries to add the smart socket to the app. The app itself was not too confusing, but it still took several tries to connect the device. Then when I went to link the socket to my Alexa it gave me an error in the Alexa app. It said the app was not current. Well I was not able to update the HBN app, possibly because it is the most recent version. Alexa then also gave me an option to switch to the Smart Life app. At first I thought oh is this the updated version and since I already had the app for my other sockets I use, I just switched over and everything just automatically linked after I connected the app to socket. What a breeze. It turns out the Smart Life app is a totally different app all together and it seems to serve as a catch-all app for many of the different brand devices out there. In fact the other sockets that I was already using the app for were for a totally different brand.

Greater than one weekBought 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.

> 3 dayI 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.

Greater than one weekI spent over an hour trying to get this to sync with my Wi-Fi. I know I have 2.4 because I have other things linked to it. Little disappointment, will be returning

> 3 dayI 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.
