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

Great once you can figure out how to configure it! They should have a scan option. I finally chatted with their customer service and they did help after several attempts. Works great with Alexa once you connect it! They need to include better directions with this product or make it easier.

I did not think about this, but can not use on a router or cable modem. Since once it turns it off, there is no internet access to enable it to be turned back on.

I bought one of these smart plugs about six months ago specifically because this one advertised as not requiring an app, which was perfect because I already have other smart plugs from other cheap Amazon manufacturers and didnt want more crummy smart home apps on my phone. That original plug set up easily with wifi and has been working flawlessly ever since. Fast forward to now, when I bought a new lamp for a different room and wanted another no-app smart plug, so I reordered the exact same plug as before. This one showed up and despite being advertised as no app (again, the ONLY REASON I bought it) now requires an app to function. Ok?? Well that was obnoxious but I already had it in hand so I said whatever and downloaded their garbage app onto my phone and set it up. If that was it, I would have probably still been decently satisfied with this purchase, except that this stupid plug just... turns off, every once in a while, for a few seconds, for no reason?? Ill be sitting there, and the lamp will just turn off and Ill have to sit in the dark for about 10 seconds, and then turn back on again. It happens very frequently, probably about every half hour or so. I tried plugging the lamp directly into the wall and it didnt happen, so its 100% the plugs fault. To add insult to injury this plug also cant be found by my Google home device with frustrating regularity which results in me having to bend over and push the button on the plug manually to turn it off so I can go to bed, which is even less convenient than if I didnt have the plug at all. Anyway I have to assume that the seller recently changed manufacturers or something because this is simply not the same product as it was before. Be weary of the good reviews here because they are most likely for a different product than the one youre hoping to buy.

Easiest way to start automating your house You can plug anything into the socket and control it with your cellphone

I have arcade machines that are difficult to turn. I use these plugs to set up voice command and they work perfectly. Setup is super easy with NoApp and it syncs with Alexa in seconds.

I wanted to like this product. After all, Im into Smart Home stuff and have quite a collection of working smart things (even one of those Smarthings). First of all this was advertised as Not needing another app to clutter up my cell phone, but step 2 of the installation instructions (after powering on the unit) was to download the app to my phone. WHAT? Well, ok I can deal with that for the other promised benefits of easy to install and all. Unfortunately, it wasnt that either. I tried all of my tricks to getting recalcitrant smart devices to tow the mark, but could not get them to even respond to any connection request. Fed up, I sent them packing back to Amazon (thank you to Amazon for their really good return procedures). I may have been having a bad day, but these things were not ready for prime time. Save yourself some time, money and frustration and get something else.

Ive got this hooked up to a dim/warm light with Alexa so that I dont have to get out of bed at night as Im dozing off and realize the light is still on. Working great still a few months down the line. Install wasnt the easiest in the world but definitely easier than another I had to return. I would recommend this product.

I am a pretty tech savvy guy, but it took me several hours over multiple days to figure out how to get these things to work. The instructions were unreadable, written in tiny font, AND were faded, like the printer was out of ink? I almost sent them back. Now that they are working, the WiFi range is very good, and they do have a high quality feel to them. Just be ready to consult YouTube videos (several) and spend some time figuring out what to do, its very confusing.

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.

I was in the market for some additional smart plugs, came across this one and thought it was interesting that i didnt need to install any 3rd party apps to get it running. Setup was really simple, just plug it in and look for the broadlink ssid, associate a email address and wait for your verification code. Then add it to Google Home or Alexa to control it. They seem to be built well, they dont feel cheap as other budget smaller plugs ive purchased before. Overall very pleased with plugs
