> 3 dayI 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.

21-11-2024THESE 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.

> 3 dayI 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

> 3 dayI bought this three pack with a new echo dot. Echo was easy to install and set up. Pretty much did it itself. These smart plugs seemed easy but I wasted a whole day trying to set up following their included instructions and connecting via the broadlink network that appears in your WiFi when plug them in. Basically you go thru the steps telling the plug your 2.4 ghz network ssid to use and pw. Then you’re supposed to get a confirmation email from them and be good to go to set up in Alexa. FALSE. I tried a million times. Even turning off router access to 5 ghz. Googled for troubleshooting from other users and reviews. Watched many YT videos on it, even Broadlinks own official one. Finally called uncle and called Amazons “get expert help”. Not knocking her, the cs rep tried. Mainly making sure you’re using 2.4 ghz. Finally after 42 mins on phone she sends me link to send message to the seller directly. No kidding I worked in this from 8 am till like 4. Finally sent email to broad link. Woke up to a response next morning that asked if I tried downloading the broadlink app. What? Yes there was an app the broadlink WiFi link had me install and supposedly linked it to my Amazon acct which I’m not happy about. It’s called ihc. Seems fishy. I deleted it of course after it couldn’t connect to the plug. End of this long story. I downloaded the broadlink app and it recognized the plug and rest was easy. The plugs have been working for a day now so can’t comment on how reliable they are yet. I’m only using them to turn lights on and off for now so pretty basic. I’ll never buy from broadlink again and still may return these out of principle. Horrible of broadlink not to include proper instructions or admit their NoApp concept while great idea isn’t working apparently. Hope this saves someone else a lot of time!

Greater than one weekTheres nothing better that I could find when you account for Google & Alexa compatibility, ease of setup, and price. Ive tried many, and this is now my go-to plug.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayWhat to say about this plug, first I would love to say it’s an affordable option for anyone that’s looking to bring a little bit more of ease and technology into their life. Second if you are a beginner trying to get in to the Amazon Alexa system this would be a great add on to buying with your Amazon “Alexa” echo or your fire tablet. And lastly The value for your money is there it’s easy, very friendly, simple and beautiful design
