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

It makes my lights flicker sometimes.

Even with my smarty pants sons, they found it challenging to get set up.

I love this smart plug! Extremely easy to set up and works as promised! I will certainly buy again! Highly recommend.

Im in awe at how easy this was to set up, given the depressing amount of time Ive spent fussing with WeMo plugs. Exactly as the instructions say: 1) plug in 2) connect to the Broadlink SSID 3) Wait for the system to tell you to sign in to broadlink 4) Input your real SSID & password, also email and name your plug 5) activation email arrived in 30 seconds 5) Open Google Home app, add device, select NoAPP 6) Wait for 7-digit email code and input Thats it. No downloading apps. No passwords. Even the EULA was short enough to read.

Late delivery. Why do i pay for Amazon Prime? Ok, the important part. DOES NOT WORK WITH ALEXA. It works, on it’s own, after you install 2 different apps. Both from Broadlink. But then try to link it to Alexa and you’re out of luck. First it wants you to create an account so they can get your email address. Then it wants access to Bluetooth. Then it wants to go on and on. I gave up. Will work it from their app. Again, it works, but is needlessly complicated in setting up. It’s like trying to install a 3rd party app on an iPad. Ok so it was $20 cheaper than an Amazon SmartPlug (that are way overpriced) but it almost isn’t worth it. Buy it if you want a cheap alternative to Amazon but don’t expect it to work with Amazon. Oh yeah, did i mention setting a routine? 24 hour clock. Who made this thing? The French? ************** 5 months since purchased. Stopped working. ******************

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.

Ill admit to not trying many brands of outlets since the ones I did try tended to want an app and bluetooth to interact with Alexa. This one though, once on the network and the skill loaded into the Alexa app, works exactly the like the Amazon plug (for speed of response) for 1/4 the cost. Definitely will be buying again should I have a need for another smartplug.

Alexa knows the on/off state (or the on and off command are different), so you can have an timed routine to turn it off that wont turn it on if it is already off. Quiet operation. One tiny thing: Is ink really so expensive that the instructions cant be higher contrast?

Very easy to install and use.

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.
