BN-LINK WiFi Heavy Duty Smart Plug Outlet, No Hub Required with Timer Function, White, Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, 2.4 Ghz Network Only (2 Pack)

This is the 3rd brand of smart switch that ai have tried and it was the easiest one to get going, Seems to be doing better than one of a different brad working in a location that my wifi signal is not the best,

I hooked these up in various locations and they all seem to be working ok. Much more responsive to commands then the multiple plug in one. Definitely worth the price

Loud noise when I turn on and off...compared to Feit brand

I chose to try these as they kept coming up as a the selection when I typed in the Smart Plug that I have already as I didn’t want to have to download multiple apps to run different rooms of my home. My orig plugs don’t seem to be in business or maybe they got bought out by this company. These worked great with the app for the my current app / smart plugs.

Difficult to install, maybe it was my samsung s20 ? May be the smart life app? I do not recommend this product .

I recently purchased the BN-LINK WiFi Heavy Duty Smart Plug Outlet, and while it has some good features, I could have been more impressive overall. The setup process was annoying. I could not connect it to my home WiFi network. However, the app interface was a bit clunky and not very user-friendly. It took some time to figure out how to set up the scheduling and timer features, which are some of the main reasons I purchased this product in the first place. Additionally, the response time for turning on and off the device was a bit slow, sometimes taking a few seconds to register my commands. Another issue I had was with the physical design of the device. While heavy-duty and durable, it is also quite bulky and takes up a lot of space in the outlet. This can be a problem if you have multiple devices you need to plug in, or the outlet is in a tight space. Overall, I would say that the BN-LINK WiFi Heavy Duty Smart Plug Outlet has some good features but also has room for improvement in terms of the app interface and physical design. If youre looking for a simple and straightforward smart plug, there may be better options than this one. However, it could still be a good choice if you need a heavy-duty smart plug for a specific purpose and dont mind the bulkiness.

I owned 3 Wemo devices that I purchased several years ago, and they had always been very flakey. So over Christmas, I purchased a few of the BN-Link devices for our Christmas tree and some outdoor lights, and have been very pleased with how easy they were to setup, and easy to link them to my Google Home, with no issues. Recently, after a firmware update, all my Wemos stopped working, so after about an hour of troubleshooting and trying to fix them, I just got rid of them and replaced them with these much more reliable devices. I recommend these over Wemo because they are less expensive, and more reliable.

These plugs used to have energy monitoring. The new plugs use the same interface in the app, look identical, but they don’t have energy monitoring. This feature allowed you to track how many kW you were using per day, and even a monthly report. It’s no longer there with these new versions. The old ones were fine. Why did you change it?

I have an Ikea plant cabinet with lights, fans, humidifier and another shelf of plants with plant lights. Sometimes I forget to turn them off plus the switches to turn them off were not in convenient locations. So installing these smart plugs into the wall outlet and then connecting the appliances to these plugs make it easy to turn them off and off via app. The app itself is easy to use. So I programed the app to turn on the lights at 8am and turn them off at 8pm. No more turning off the lights one by one.

I bought they during a Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal so I got them at a great price. They work great, I am able to set them to turn on and off at certain times through the Smart Life App and they also integrate with Alexa. I previously had the old school timers with the little knobs you have to pull out and the turn-style knob to set the time. However, I could never get the time exact and the lights would come on at different times. This was the main reason I switched to a WiFi app controlled timer. I purchased five of these to turn on and off all my Christmas decorations at the same time. The additional advantage to these timers is that I could set different times on different days which I could not due with the traditional timer. I like this feature because I like the decorations to stay on longer on Friday and Saturdays when we dont go to bed as early. The reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 was because of the directions. I find that setting up WiFi products is not always clear. You needed eagle eyes to try to see the directions, even my glasses didnt help. I also am not a fan of the Smart Life App it has SOOOO many options if you are setting things up manually but they never seem to match what you are setting up. After unsuccessfully trying to set up the timer manually I decided to hold down the on/off button (as it appeared per the directions that was a reset) and that was the key. After that it was very easy to set up. How to Set up: - Open up the Smart Life App to be ready - Plug in the timer - Hold the On/Off button until it starts to blink - I cant remember if I had to hit the + to add a device first, or if it showed up, but once it started blinking it would pop up to add the device - Let it connect - Name your device - Set the schedule The deal must have been great on these timers because when I decided I should have bought 6 instead of 5 the next day they were all out of stock! Definitely a great addition to my Christmas decorations.
