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

Pretty easy setup and simple integration with Alexa. Broadlink has software available, but if youve already got a smart device controller (I use an Echo Show 5), then youre good to go. This is the least expensive smart plug I found, and it works great. Only downside is its a different manufacturer than my other smart plugs (which are Kasa brand), so I dont have the same scheduling tool, but Alexa brings it all together nicely and this works really well.

Setup was not as easy as other products, also the scheduling was not 100% intuitive but after that it works and no complaints.

THESE ARE NOW IN THE TRASH WHERE THEY BELONG! Ive wasted more time on trying to get the Broadlink app and Alexa to discover these. I finally got them to find one, and within an hour it Alexa said it was unresponsive and remains that way. Tried 2 more but could not get them to be recognized. I have a background in computer system and have several other brands of plugs (along with numerous Echo devices) that I have connected to Alexa. Buy this if you enjoy being frustrated by devices that dont do what the manufacturer says it will.

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.

I bought 4 of these to control Christmas lights in 2021. After Christmas I boxed them up with the other Christmas stuff. 2022 Christmas setup they all will not connect. Ive reset them, removed and reinstalled software, followed instructions on Youtube, everything. They will connect to my router, but Alexa just will not accept them. They were very easy to setup in 2021. Not so much anymore. One season product. Im going to try another product.

Took 3 tries, but then they worked great.

So many hoops to go thru to activate !

I have arcade machines that are difficult to turn. I use these plugs to set up voice command and they work perfectly. Setup is super easy with NoApp and it syncs with Alexa in seconds.

Having a hard time connecting the smart plug

Update: customer service contacted me about this review. They kept sending the same instructions that didnt work the first time. I tried to explain which step I was on when I was having trouble, but they just sent the same manual again. I dont think they even read my messages. Anyone can accidentally get a defective product and its no ones fault. However, if you arent willing to try to resolve the problem, what is the point of having a customer service department? I have several smart plugs in my home and I have never had an issue connecting them to the wifi. I mistaken thought that these would be easier to use because they are advertised as no app. There are several steps that you have to go through and each one is ridiculously difficult. I never could get them to work. What a waste of time and money!
