I bought this so I could turn the recirculation pump on and off from upstairs. I have to agree with other reviewers...the set up can be a little frustrating. But anyone with decent tech skills can figure it out. It works well with the Alexa app or using voice commands with my Dot. Id say buy this plug if you dont mind a bit of a hassle during install. It was a good price and is working well.

I got really frustrated trying to set up these plugs. I intended to connect them to my Alexa, but the initial HBN app connection was so confusing that Im worried the Alexa set up will be just as painful. I was stuck on one of the first steps because it told me to turn the outlet on with the power button. Not sure why it says that because there is no power button!!! My husband had to step in and figured it out for me, and thank goodness for him. (Instead of a power button, you just hold down one of the front arrow buttons while its plugged in until it flashes blue. At that point, the app should detect the outlet and the setup is straightforward from there) Despite the headache, so far I really like these plugs. Believe it or not, but the painful setup wont deter me from buying more smart products made by HBN.

Good product. Instructions did not match the item. Instructions showed a power off button on the side. Units did not have it. To get the WiFi to connect, I figured out that you had to press and hold both arrows on the front for 3-5 seconds and they would blink blue. Then it would connect to the app. If you want the item to turn on at a certain time, then turn off, you need to cease a schedule for each event. One schedule for on, and another for off. Other than wrong instructions, items work great.

I was able to connect it ok. But when I turn a switch on there is no power to the outlets. Sending back. UPDATE on REPLACEMENT: I got the replacement and its working. As others have said the instructions are problematic. For example they dont explain that only one blue arrow lights up when establishing the network connection for the entire 2-up outlet.

I have my bedside lights controlled with these and all I have to do is tell Alexa to turn on the lights. I had the other one for my Christmas lights. They was easy to set up. Ive had no issues.

Quick and easy setup. Works great

I have three of these now. It is so easy to just say Alexa turn on the christmas lights and everything goes on at one time.

I love how easy these are to set up. I purchased some from another company and I have to struggle to get the app to find those. I ended up replacing them all with these. I like having two separate plugs. There are some that are set up with one plug on a timer (lamp, wax melter, etc) with the other one always on. When I bought a new router it took me 5 minutes to reset them. Most of that time was getting around furniture to the plug. I havent had any issues if the power goes out. they just automatically reconnect. I havent figured out how to connect to my Alexa, but it works fine with the app on my phone. Plus, this way I can turn the lights on and off no matter where I am so it looks like Im home. Definitely worth the money.

The overall experience with this seller was great, shipping was good, delivery by Amazon was good. The product is outstanding, it synced up to Wifi without any problems, and works well with our Android phones. We are currently using them on Christmas lights inside the house. Great product that works well.

Bought these to help our home look like were home while we will be traveling out of the country. for a few weeks. Bought them early enough so we could learn how to use them and actually see how they work prior to leaving and they do exactly what they say they do with ease. To find a pack of 4 for the price was incredible, square ones work so much better than round ones because the round ones take up too much space that you cant use anything else in your outlet. Get then before theyre gone!!
