Greater than one weekThe written instructions that come with these are horrible...especially for those of us who do not have perfect eyesight. They are printed in a very small, light gray font that is difficult to see. I was able to set up the devices to work with Google Home but I did not see an option to install the Broadlink app for Android, only for IOS. My only use for the smart plugs is to turn lamps on and off a couple of times a day when I am away but it sure seems very difficult to perform a simple timer function using Google Home and the Broadlink Smart Plugs. Perhaps the Broadlink app allows you to do that, but the link in the email from Broadlink when you activate the plugs only takes you to an IOS app. I think I will continue to use the simple mechanical timers I have used for years...seems so much easier.

Greater than one weekI use this for tube lights to light my room enough to read by when Im in bed and it responds like one in ten times when I try to turn it on or off both in the app and via my alexa

> 3 dayFor the most part this is a good product. I didnt want a smart plug that requires its own hub and app. I would rather just connect it all through the Google Nest Hub. Unfortunately there are times when Google Assistant doesnt recognize the plug and cant follow voice command to turn the plug on or off. I have to unplug the unit and let it reset and then it works fine. Shouldnt have to do this with a smart plug.

> 3 dayMy home is not a smart home, and I dont need it to be, I just needed one light to turn on without messing with a poorly designed switch. This plug replaced an old remote plug that was turning itself on repeatedly throughout the day. The plug was easy to install using the Google Home app I already have and has worked to turn a pole light on-and-off. I mostly use the button on the device itself (the outlet is easy to get to) but the remote function through Google Home has come in handy too. I have had no problems with the plug triggering itself on or going offline in the 3 months Ive used it. I likely wont need another smart plug for a long time, but this one would be my first choice to repurchase.

> 3 dayDidnt expect much for a $5 WiFi plug but this is totally worth it. Easy to set up and works very well with Google Home. The app that goes with it is also very useful. I use this to heat up water for my coffee every morning.

> 3 dayExcellent product!. Works great, I even use one with Alexa to trun on my fan. They are very easy to install and I dont worry about turning them off, with the delay function in the app, it happens automatically.

> 3 dayDoes NOT work. I have tried so so many times It isnt worth the headache.... app does not work and alexa app tells you tp install the app that does not work
