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

This was so easy. We have Smart WIFI indoor outlets from BN-Link, and use those all the times. Glad my daughter suggested one for our outdoor Christmas lights. We usually are home to turn them on and off. However, on the occassion when we are arriving at our home and it has turned dark - we like to see our Christmas lights all lit up over the house. Why should the neighbors be the only ones to enjoy the lights? I already had the app installed on my phone to control the indoor outlets, so this particular outlet was easy to add. I just set a daily schedule to turn on around 4:45-5:15 (depending on the month) and then to go off at certain times during the week and a little later time on weekends since that is when we are typically out and about.

Stopped working after two months. The device doesn’t reset either. After I wrote this review, the manufacturer reached out and send me a replacement. The replacement works! Thank you. I am upgrading my rating to 4stars

Although each outlet can be controlled individually by the Smart Life App, if you want to turn on ONE device, but not the other, manually, with out using the app, you cant. The power button top of the device powers both off...or on. So, if you have one device turned off, and one one, and you hit the power button on the outside of the device, you will be controlling both. I have a couple of other WIFI outlets like this and it is INCONVENIENT. I suggest you look for the devices that have two external power buttons. I forgot about this limitation, bought this one...but it is going back. Sorry BN-Link!

Setup was a little spotty as the app does leave something to be desired. Automatic detection has never worked. Manual setup was fairly easy but the postage stamp of an instruction book leaves a little to be desired but there are instructions online. Once setup and timer function was setup it has only been 30 seconds off.

I use this plug to connect my patio string ambient lights, so I can turn them on and off even when I am away from home. Very easy to connect to WIFI. I control them with the BNLINK app. which I find to be very easy to use. I am surely going to buy more same smart plugs for use in other parts of our home.

This was so easy to setup and use with the Smart Life app. It was a great option to control and dim the lights on my deck.

Great product for outdoor lighting needing to be plugged into outdoor outlet.

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.
