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

I 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

I 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.

It makes my lights flicker sometimes.

I consider myself pretty tech savvy and cant figure this one out ... All of these smart plugs honestly tend to give connection issues... This one is no different.... Just spend 3 more dollars ..

My 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.

had hard time connecting with alexa. once tired with google home it worked nicely

As one of the less expensive WiFi smart plugs, I figured Id give these a try with Home Assistant, an open source home automation system. With some effort, I got them working... for a while. I had to set up an account on the manufactures servers to set them up, using the cloud solution. But I was also able to control them locally with a system like Home Assistant. That all changed when the manufacturer pushed a firmware update which now causes them to all connect to each other, instead of my WiFi access point. Now the only way to control all but one of them is through the manufacturers cloud app. Im going to try a workaround, creating four different accounts on the manufacturers app, one at a time, and re-connect each one to a different account. But obviously a future firmware update could break this, too. NO MORE CLOUD-BASED SMART HOME DEVICES FOR ME. The few dollars saved are not worth the aggravation of allowing manufacturers to make changes which break things.

Theres 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.
