BN-LINK Smart Wi-Fi Plug Outlet, Remote Control by App, Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, Weatherproof, Requires 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, ETL Listed

I wanted a plug that would cycle my pool cover pump for 5 minutes every hour when it started raining. The instructions that came with this device are worthless for doing this and the App wording is not intuitive but they have good tech support. First, I had to reset my dual band mesh router to appear as separately named bands so the plug could find the 2.4 channel. When I did this the first time I renamed them xxx2.4 and xxx5.0. That was stupid as all my wireless devices now needed to be relinked. After doing a couple, I realized I could use the old network name for the 2.4 and I wouldnt have to relink everything. To get the plug to cycle for 5 minutes each hour you dont use the Schedule. You choose Timer, then Circulate. This was the confusing part. The start time and end type are the times you want to work within. Start Duration is the amount of time you want the plug ON (e.g. 5 minutes). The End Duration is the time it stays off until the next on cycle. They would have been better worded as On Duration and Off Duration. Once this is setup and saved, you can toggle the Circulation feature on and off. This is so much better than my old plug where I had to setup 24 Ons and 24 Offs. And each time it rained, I had to enable all the Ons, and disable them when it stopped raining. You have no idea how long ive been trying to find a smart plug that would do this.

These things are hard to setup with google Home but eventually I beat it to submission. After almost a year, my unit failed but went directly to manufacturer with the issue after confirming warranty was one year and their support team issued a replacement immediate with no questions asked.

Easy to set up and program. I plugged my landscape timer to this device since the landscape timer was not working properly. And removed the pins from the old timer.

Easy to install once the app is downloaded. Works exceptionally well. Flexible schedule creations

Works great with the lights on the patio. Love the option of dimming the lights when I want to and can turn them on or off from anywhere. Set up was easy. Just wish the cord was a little bit longer

This is definitely worth the time it took to install it. It was hard for me at first as I had to adjust my router to seperate the 5.0 and 2.4hz of the router but once I got that done, it made it so much easier to turn on my light when I needed them.

Easy to use and set up. The timer feature is great for Christmas lights.

This outlet works great with our Echos, one first gen and one second gen. Im so very pleased with these! I ran one outside on the second level to power lights over our deck, pictured. Then with the other outlet I rand a cord under the deck to do the same thing for that area which is always so dark. Rename the plugs upper deck and lower deck and youre in business! Without meaning to, i found out the Echo will turn on or off BOTH outlets if you say, turn off the deck, because the word deck is in both names. Pro tip! Haha. On similar note you can name the entire device something else, like back 40, and tell the Echo to turn off the back 40 and it will cycle both outlets off, etc. So far Ive had this outside for 2 months. Its not protected from tons of rain, wind, and sub-freezing temps-- and has had zero issues so far. I love this thing!

I bought two sets. Installing the APP and connecting the devices was easier. Now my Christmas decorations on both sides of the house turns and off together at the exact time.
