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

Es muy fácil de intalar y súper útil para cualquier cosa que quieras controlar que no sea inteligente 10/10

Did work to good

I am a pretty tech savvy guy, but it took me several hours over multiple days to figure out how to get these things to work. The instructions were unreadable, written in tiny font, AND were faded, like the printer was out of ink? I almost sent them back. Now that they are working, the WiFi range is very good, and they do have a high quality feel to them. Just be ready to consult YouTube videos (several) and spend some time figuring out what to do, its very confusing.

Kinda sketchy to set up.. but they work fine.. they make a noise everytime they are turned on or off.. it might trigger some ocd issues haha

Awkward length compared to my round smart plug. Wish there was a manual override for non-smart phone user. Difficult to set up. I had to try several times, following instructions. Has ability to place a timer on plug.

It was a little complicated to set up but once I did it works fine. You must load the BroadLink app to schedule the plug. It works great with an echo dot.

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.

Was easy to set up. Connected to Alexa with no problems

I tried to follow instructions to install but didn’t work, had to download their app still in order to get the plugs installed properly.

These worked ok for a while. I switched internet service providers from century link to xfinity. I got the new xfi router. These unfortunately don’t work with the xFi router because it combines all the band - 2.4GHz 5GHz etc. now they are useless.
