HBN Outdoor Smart Plug Waterproof WiFi Outdoor Outlet Timer with 6 Grounded Outlets, Remote & Voice Control Heavy Duty Yard Stake Plug Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant No Hub Required

It took about 5 tries to get it to connect despite having a strong signal. Then the power went out for a while and it forgot how to connect. Now nothing I do will get it to reconnect, not even having it 6 inches from the router.

I love this for control by phone but what I didn’t realize is you couldn’t use with 5g. My router does both so I though I could set it to lower speed but it was a huge pain to set up. I have to change my router and everything thing that runs off of it to the slower signal, once I finally did that it worked. Thankfully I’ll only be using this once or twice a year so I can switch it back once the holidays are over. Someone who is better with technology may have a lot easier time setting it up but I struggled!

Not very happy about that.

Was really excited to use this but you can only use a 2.4 Ghz bandwidth and I only have a 5 Ghz bandwidth. Disappointed that I have to return it

I purchased one of these last year and loved it, so this year I bought a second. They manage our holiday lights beautifully! I love the app functionality from my phone, the Alexa comparability and the way I can sync multiple devices together.

Actual outlet strip is made well, works exactly as advertised. Using it with the app is great EXCEPT setting is up is a pain because the App does not have this exact device on the list of devices so you have to try clicking on all of them until the setup works. I set up one at my house and one at my parents. Also there are 2 apps. 1 works well with iPhones, the other with Androids. Not sure which but its in other reviews.

Just received and set it ip. This smart plug looks solid. Default connection method doesn’t work for me, thus one star off. Switching to EZ mode (via AP) works for me. Works only Alexa not Google which is a pity. Lucky I have both so that’s fine for me. Might update this review for durability.

Easy to set up and connect to once I remembered how to use my Amazon Alexa app. The unit itself is pretty sturdy but the stake is a bit flimsy. I would recommend making a hole with another stake and just placing the included stake down in that hole unless it’s super soft ground. Worked great for my outside Christmas lights.

The plug works well. The HBN app is not very impressive and kind of annoying. Thankfully it connected to Alexa with no issues and can be completely controlled through voice command and the Alexa app.

Only used one year. Now it won’t come on. Very difficult to use . Bad purchase decision.
