> 24 hourI love this smart plug it goes great if you have alexia. You can tell Alexia what time you want to turn the plug on and off. I use it for Christmas lights mainly, but it can be used for other times of lights or any product that plugs in.

> 24 hourI received my 4 pack of smart plugs and set the first one up with no problem. When I tried to set the second one up, the button on the top was broken. I emailed customer service and got a response 12 minutes later from Darren. After providing purchase information, I then worked with Dianna and was sent a replaced right away. It arrived just 3 days later and worked as it should. Dianna even followed up with me to make sure I received the replacement and that it worked. I am happy with the product and especially happy with the customer service. Would highly recommend!

> 24 hourthese were very difficult to get the app to recognize, and i finally gave up and instead used an app that i use daily (atomi) to get them to work. used one for xmas tree, another for outside xmas lights. one is being used on a compressor in my garage, it pulls close to 1500 watts on startup and have had no problems with it. they have a lot of features and work well especially for the price. if you can get past the point where they are recognized by your chosen app, they are great. recommend.

> 24 hourI just got a 4-pack of this model for $20. I see theyre now down to $17, so its hard to pass them up ... theyre so cheap! Despite the low price, Im still disappointed. I read a lot of the Q&A on Amazon, and learned nothing. There are a LOT of conflicting answers there (and a lot of people who waste your time saying I really dont know). I could not find any comprehensive FAQ on the manufacturers website. So it was really a matter of buying a pig in a poke. Be that as it may, I decided to get the 4-pack and experiment. They got here quickly and in good condition. So I started experimenting. First, the manual in the box has tiny print --- I literally needed a magnifying glass. And the illustrations are blurry (even with the glass). I found an online PDF manual, and its exactly the same. Even if I view it at 200% on my PDF reader, the images are still so blurry that I cant make out what they are showing. I tried to work my way through the procedure anyway... I installed the app on my phone. Its a few steps and takes several minutes, but the instructions in the app are MUCH better than the printed manual. I was able to get the plug to communicate with my phone using my 2.4GHz home network. So far, so good. I can manually turn the plug on and off from the phone. The countdown function seems to be OK. There is a timer function, but entering the data is really laborious. I created a schedule with 4 or 5 times & commands, and it seemed to work OK. But when I went further with testing, I discovered something very unsatisfactory. If you remove power from the plug (e.g. a power blink during a storm, an outage of several minutes, whatever, when you restore power to the plug, it goes to an ON state. That is true even if it was OFF when it lost power. That is true whether it was turned OFF by a manual command, by the timer, or by the countdown function. In every case, if the plug was off, then lost power, when power came back the plug always turned ON. This is bad! Inconvenient at least, and maybe in some cases dangerous at worst. I had hoped to use these in a rather specialized kind of security application, but now its obvious that I cant because they are not reliable to stay in the correct state. Thats why I say they can be used for hobby application, but NOT for anything serious. (Imagine if youre out of town for a week, and on the second day the power blinks ... when power comes back the plug turns on, the coffee maker turns on, boils dry, and burns up. Or the plug turns on a space heater, which the cat has knocked over, and it starts a fire. The (bad) possibilities are endless. The listing says this can do something with Bluetooth. Honestly, I dont know what. I did not try it, because (a) reading the manual is a pain, and (b) this plug is NOT acceptable for my application (or any serious application). The listing says you can control the plug, via internet, from anywhere in the world. Again, I didnt try it ... didnt even try it from the corner coffee shop. Same reason: not acceptable for any serious use. A good smart plug would always remember its former state, check for any schedule or countdown, and THEN decide whether to turn off or on when power is restored. This plug isnt really smart. Its more like a dull normal plug. I would not plug ANY appliance into one of these, simply because that appliance will turn ON any time theres a brief blink in your AC power. VERY BAD. Hey, if you want a $5 toy, go for it. If you want to sit in the bathroom and turn the living room lights on and off, go for it. More power to you ... whether you want it or not.

> 24 hourI like the fact that I can handle a lot more devices power wise, but the Wi-Fi connection keeps dropping. So I can’t depend on it in my Automated household.

> 24 hourI purchased these quite some time ago with the intent of utilizing them on lights in my boutique that I have to manually turn on and off. I wanted the Alexa integration to put them on a timer or a command. I tried on several attempts to connect these when first received and they would always time out and not work. It was so frustrating. The manual also doesnt give clear instructions on which plug you are to choose when utilizing the app. I moved to a new building and took another chance so these could work as intended. It took several tries (and curse words) but I FINALLY got them paired and they are now working on a schedule.

> 24 hourNow that life is getting back to normal, living with the pandemic, my wife and I have started to travel. I wanted to replace the clunky mechanical timers controlling lights in our house with smart plugs. Ordered a set of 4 plugs from BN-Link. Two were defective. Customer support replaced them on the spot without any hassles. My house is now lit on a schedule set by my iPhone. THANK YOU - Excellent product and service!

> 24 hourI purchased a 4 pack. I had a bit of issues w/ getting them recognized by my home WIFI network so emailed to tech support listed prominently on the instructions. Immediately someone replied and gave me a phone number to call and they quickly walked me thru the steps - very knowledgeable and efficient. One of the 4 plugs reset button was not making good contact and they offered to send me a new one immediately. Excellent support and product, I recommend it.

> 24 hourAllows me to turn on a lamp when I am not at home and also set a plug to turn on and off at certain times of the day. I have timers on my lamps but when I want to see something and its too dark I can just use to app to turn the lamp on to view the room. then I can just turn it off and then let the other timer do its thing at the regular times. The only small complaint is the instructions dont always explain things completely. Wanted to know if once I set up a plug and if I moved the plug to another outlet would it retain the information. Turns out yes it does but I had to do a test to see if that was true. Would have been easier if it explain that in the instructions. What I like is if I am going out of town for a vacation/business I can have lights go on in the bedroom then in the bathroom. After about 10 minutes have the bathroom light go off then five minuets later the bedroom light go off. Gives the appearance of someone at home. Good product.

> 24 hourThese are not as easy to setup as the “enbrighten” brand but once you are able to connect one it makes the process of connecting the next ones way easier. Love being able to set the timer for multiple times a day and it works great!!
