BN-LINK Smart Wi-Fi Plug Outlet, Remote Control by App, Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, Weatherproof, Requires 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, ETL Listed

Works well, Android app is easy to use. Main negative is the older wifi standards. Had to dig out an old wifi router to use it. Most new wifi router only have 5 GHz. This device only works on 2 5 GHz

This wi-fi enabled smart extension cord is perfect for both outdoor & indoor use. I use this mainly for setting the Christmas lights on timer especially when I’m away from my house & I can’t physically turn the lights on. But with this, I turn my Christmas lights on wherever I am as long as I have internet connection. Excellent product!

Giving a 3 rating solely due to it recommending a bad app to work with. Tried several times to setup using the BN-Link as the directions stated.. big mistake! After wasting a half hour of my life, I decided to use the “Smart Life” app which was already on my phone. I was connected and setup in about two minutes flat! Other than that, device seems to work as it should. Not much to it.

Excellent quality and very useful

I bought this to go with some string lights I installed over my patio. I was specifically looking for something that could be controlled via Bluetooth because I live in a two family house and wanted both apartments to be able to control it without having to be on the same Wi-Fi network or share a physical remote. I also didn’t want to worry about batteries or losing the remote, so phone app control seemed ideal. After reading other reviews saying Bluetooth didn’t work I was concerned, but bought it anyway because I didn’t find good alternatives with Bluetooth. The apps and the process of connecting them to the dimmer is the only criticism I have. After installing the manufacturers app I couldn’t get it to work with Bluetooth, but once I installed the Smart Life app the Bluetooth controls worked fine. It also worked well via Wi-Fi and via Google Home by voice command. If you are entirely non-technical just buy one with a physical remote. By the way, I did not try to set it up initially using bluetooth. All settings are retained after being unplugged, so if you plan to use it with bluetooth you dont need WiFi to reach the area where youll actually be using it. I plugged it in inside my house, configured it via WiFi and then moved it to the outdoor location. The dimming function was excellent but it turns out the lights at their brightest are just fine, so I don’t anticipate using the dimmer function — I’ll just be using the physical on/off switch on the unit. It is still a great deal for me as it is a great price even just for a waterproof outdoor switch.

BN-Link has some great products and offers excellent customer support.

This item works too the tee! I found it VERY easy to install. Extremely easy. Just load the app on your phone. Allow the app to connect to your Bluetooth via your wifi. Add your password....DONE! Ive replaced all of the incandescent lights to LED, 2,000 of them. I know, crazy! But we got them on sale after Christmas last year. We got them almost for free from Ace Hardware . This dimmer works perfectly with the LED Lights from 100 percent down to 1 percent. NO flickering at all! We keep our tree up all year long and call it out Seasonal Tree. We decorate it with whatever session it may be. Soooo, yes, Id recommend this to anyone. Even to my family, ha ha. P.S: IM GIVING IT 15 STARS!

Works great and saves me from having to plug the lights in every time I want to turn them on.
