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

I got this for a timer for a plant light it is a little confusing on the app but once it’s done then it’s perfect. Doesn’t take up too much space on the plug either.

After you set it up it works very good but its pretty complicated to set it up

Awkward length compared to my round smart plug. Wish there was a manual override for non-smart phone user. Difficult to set up. I had to try several times, following instructions. Has ability to place a timer on plug.

The instructions were easy to follow. Used it to connect a lamp in the master bedroom. Works well with Alexa AND Google assistant.

The product advertise no app, but it still demands you provide an email to register your device through their website. I was wrong to interpret no app as no third party snooping. It is not the manufacturers fault. I was looking for a wifi device that works without registration or setup without through an external website, but it seems this does not exist. It seems rather invasive to have my thermostat or light switch on the internet connected to data systems I do not control.

I have a Nest Mini. Plugged the big fan at the end of my bed into this little guy so that I could turn the fan on/off without getting out of bed. Setup was easy, instructions were easy to follow. Works perfectly.

Broadlink even sent me a replacement for the first one I bought. I thought it was broken but it failed just as miserably as the first plug. I spent hours trying to connect this plug and actually stumbled onto the proper sequence once. But the real problem is how easily the device resets itself and then you have to reconnect it again. I spent two more hours without success and went with a slightly cheaper competitor and I’d recommend any considering this plug to do the same. The competitors device was easy as pie but this plug failed as flat as a pancake.

I bought the 5 pack to add some lights to my Google home set up. At first they were working great with my Google home app and voice commands. I would use them in routines and had nothing to complain about. Then a month in they would disconnect from my Google home. They would work with their app just fine but could no longer with voice commands or anything within google until I deleted them and went through the entire set up process again. I know have to do this every 2 weeks with a different plug until I can buy some replacements. Dont waste your time and money like I have.

Im not normally a fan of wifi devices, but these are impressive to say the least. Installing them is as simple as plugging them in, opening the connection to the device on the wifi of your phone and activating them with the phone. Ive had no trouble with them disconnecting, or failing. They work extremely well and the range they pick up is phenomenal. My phone will barely connect to the hub I have them on where theyre located but they work flawlessly. Im impressed. I have three of these in my shop a good 40 or more feet from my hub thats in my house. Im blown away that they dont lose connection that far away. Once theyre installed, all I had to do was look for them in Alexa and use them. No app needed. Thats impressive stuff right there.

Great price…but confusing to set up but I did i
