BroadLink Smart Plug (NoAPP Version), Mini Wi-Fi Timer Smart Outlet Socket Works with Alexa/Google Home/IFTTT, No Hub Required, Remote Control Anywhere

THESE ARE NOW IN THE TRASH WHERE THEY BELONG! Ive wasted more time on trying to get the Broadlink app and Alexa to discover these. I finally got them to find one, and within an hour it Alexa said it was unresponsive and remains that way. Tried 2 more but could not get them to be recognized. I have a background in computer system and have several other brands of plugs (along with numerous Echo devices) that I have connected to Alexa. Buy this if you enjoy being frustrated by devices that dont do what the manufacturer says it will.

Si cumple su función, pero en el enlace con alexa las enciende juntas tengo que encender por separado. Pero con Google home más que perfecta

Pretty easy setup and simple integration with Alexa. Broadlink has software available, but if youve already got a smart device controller (I use an Echo Show 5), then youre good to go. This is the least expensive smart plug I found, and it works great. Only downside is its a different manufacturer than my other smart plugs (which are Kasa brand), so I dont have the same scheduling tool, but Alexa brings it all together nicely and this works really well.

My advice to not tech savvy users: Read carefully and be patient, or just get someones help instead. These are easy to set up if you have some decent skills. I just followed the instructions in Alexa and set em up in 5 minutes, even though its my first step into the smart home world. I used one for my coffee maker. Awesome. A second one to get my laptop switching between battery and electricity (A simple routine to turn on/off every 2 hours), for the sake of battery life spam. Used the third one with the light of my daughters room so I can go to bed and it doesnt stay on all night. Soooo many different uses, Ill get more in the future.

Is okay.

It makes my lights flicker sometimes.

I have set up 3 of these, and thankfully, I still had the instructions for the 3rd one, because it is NOT straightforward nor simple...and I am a techie!! If I ever needed to set these up and did not have the instructions, it would be impossible. Physically, they are a bit large and while you *can* plug them in with something else in the other side of a duplex outlet, you will have an issue if the other thing is more than a simple plug.

Works great with Alexa and the Alexa app

Was easy to set up. Connected to Alexa with no problems

I had difficulty setting it up. It’s not even connected to my Alexa yet, because I had to download the BroadLink app and make an account there, but couldn’t get Alexa to find the device even after doing that. And after all I that I was over it so settled with it working through the BroadLink app. However, using the plug through the BroadLink app has been smooth. I will add you might have better luck, because I’m not the most tech savvy person.
