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

Giving a 3 rating solely due to it recommending a bad app to work with. Tried several times to setup using the BN-Link as the directions stated.. big mistake! After wasting a half hour of my life, I decided to use the “Smart Life” app which was already on my phone. I was connected and setup in about two minutes flat! Other than that, device seems to work as it should. Not much to it.

Relatively simple configuration. Synced with Alexa, and performs flawlessly. Considering using it as timer for my dehydrator overnight.

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

Worked great for about 8 months, then it dims, shuts on and off at random. I liked it a lot when it worked.

Was easy to program thank God because I am not all that savvy when it comes to electronics. I didnt even have to call my grand kids to program it for me.

Easy to use, and does the job! Only minus is getting it going takes a little bit.

I reported to BN-LINK that I had an issue with the dimmer. Support rep (Dianna) promptly sent me a replacement dimmer. I later discovered that I misapplied the setup for the automation routine. The original dimmer was good. Thank you for forgiving my mistake.

Works as described. Very easy install, literally a couple minutes, connects quickly and solidly. Must use BN Link APP to setup - I could not get to install through SMART Life App like some of my older BN Link products. App calls for linking through 2.4ghz wifi - that being said, I ignored error and linked through my 5.0ghz - no issues. Works great with Alexa - just turn on BN Link routine in Alexa App after BN Link APP and device install and everything will be auto recognized in your Alexa App.

Great plug in for my pool cover pump. Can turn it on from my phone from anywhere.

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.
