These work as expected and I like that they are rectangular so two will fit in an outlet (the round ones only one fits). My only complaint is they always have a light shining. Blue when off is especially upsetting since I have them in a bedroom and blue light is bad for sleep. I had to put tape over the lights on the plugs so they wouldnt shine in my bedroom at night.

My order arrived with three instead of four plugs. Such a shame, as the product works really well.

Disappointingly, one of the four kept switching on and off on its own in 2 second intervalls. This was obviously annoying. I didnt feel like returning all 4 because I had installed the other 3 and they were working fine plus I didnt want the hassle of not having them until a replacement arrived. I bought 4 more and those seem fine so far.

I am physically handicapped and have a difficult time of moving around, especially in the dark. As such, I have used a remote controlled receptacle for years to ease my turning my bedside light on before I enter my room. It worked great for me for several years. Recently that receptacle just stopped working. I dont know if it got worn out over time or what. I went online to look for a replacement. I had just bought two Amazon Echos, one of which is in my room, so when I ran across this item and it said it was controllable by Alexa, I thought it would be perfect. I do not recall how long ago I bought it, but it was at least a month and possibly two. I have tried to set it up to work with Alexa, but while I have been left to trust that it can work with Alexa, the way it is described in the add on the Amazon page suggests that it is far more ready to take on that function than it is. The most annoying thing is that it comes without any instructions. You must download an app to even learn how to use it. It is somewhere in the app that you finally find it telling you that it can be connected to Alexa, and all you have to do is go down this mile long rabbit hole and hope you dont make a wrong turn anywhere along the way to accomplish that. It tells you you have to name the device and then you go to just such a spot in the Alexa app to tell her to start controlling the device with that name, but the Alexa app doesnt make it at all readily apparent where youre supposed to go to do that sort of thing. The BN-LINK app tells you to go to such and such a place, but there is no clear marking in the Alexa app to let you know where youre supposed to find that particular place, and as yet, I just havent found it. I do have other things in life to attend to than trying to figure out how to tell Alexa that she is to control a receptacle called bedside light or something to that effect. As it is, I am left compelled for now to reach down to the receptacle where it is plugged into a crowded surge protector on the floor next to my bed and push its on/off button by hand. That is how I control my bedside light now. Im not impressed. I am a very computer savvy individual. I have multiple WiFi devices and generally use them without difficulty. I build my own PCs. Given all that, I think it is fair for me to say this company has done a disservice to say they are Alexa compliant and not put a simple instruction sheet in the box that shows, step-by-step, what you need to do and where in the Alexa app you will find what you need to find and what the icons look like when you get there. As it is, this is nothing more than a receptacle you can control by pushing a button to turn it on and off, and I would have never purchased that had I known how far from readily apparent it is to make it Alexa complaint. This manufacturer is irresponsible and just finding it all to wonderful to be able to claim control by Alexa without offering serious assistance in getting that accomplished. And I know there are many people who are far less computer and WiFi savvy than me.

These were tricky to connect to my WiFi at first. My signal is spotty in some places throughout my house, so I can’t say whether that was a fault of the product or my WiFi. Once connected, however, they have worked flawlessly, and I would highly recommend!

I originally bought these for my indoor Christmas lights and pre-lit tree. You can either put them on a schedule or manually turn on/off on the app. I had them on a schedule, but when 2000 miles away for a trip I was able to control them, too (verified by checking my indoor cameras). I had a different schedule for each day and room because I’m a weirdo and wanted it to look like I was home rather than having all the windows light up at once. Mild paranoia, I suppose, but I love the flexibility and customization provided. Zero issues with Wi-Fi.

Had a previous no name brand that became unsupported by its app so decided to buy Alexa Dot with these smart plugs. All is good and satisfied

Works for what I bought it for.

It is easy to set up, easy to link to Alexa. I use it to control my hot water recirculation pump on and off several times each day. Programming is a bit more tedious than it should be: switch changes that are repeated every day require each day to be selected individually rather that a single every day button. My biggest complaint relates to the time zone setting. The Smart Life software that controls the device does not allow you to specify the time zone, but rather offers a huge selection of world-wide cities that you must pick from. I picked Los Angeles to represent my north Idaho residence, since both are in the Pacific time zone. The problem is that the software gets it wrong. While the software seems to know what the current time is in the Pacific time zone, the schedule operates on GMT minus 7 hours, which is wrong, since PST is 8 hours behind GMT. The result is that all of my scheduled changes occur one hour too late. I thought I could use a work-around by selecting a time zone that is one zone west of my location, so I selected Anchorage, Alaska, but that had no effect on the timer operation, as it continues to use GMT-7. Next I tried another time zone, New York, which should be GMT-5, but my timer continues to operate on GMT-7. Message to Smart Life: please fix your software. In the meantime my work-around will be to input switching times that are one hour earlier than the actual desired time--very disappointing, and confusing. Update after one week use: I set up the second smart plug, and I had no problems with the time zone setting or getting the device to switch at the designated times. Then I cleared all settings from the first smart plug and reset the timers. This time around all settings worked as expected, and there was no evidence of the GMT-7:00 glitch, so I dont know where that had come from. So now I will upgrade my rating to four stars, with only two minor complaints: 1) no everyday button in the timer setup menu; 2) the user guide is printed in tiny, tiny print, and it actually admits this problem, suggesting the user obtain a pdf version from the manufacturers website. I tried that, but could not find any user guides.

I’ve had these for a year with no problems. Makes heating/ lighting my beardie so much easier
