HBN Smart Plug Mini 15A, WiFi Smart Outlet Works with Alexa, Google Home Assistant, Remote Control with Timer Function, No Hub Required, ETL Certified, 2.4G WiFi Only, 4-Pack

Great product!
I bought these for controlling a few different devices throughout my apartment. Note that these plugs are wireless only and do not have a Bluetooth connection for control and the wifi connection has to be 2.4Ghz and will not work on a 5g network! Download the HBN APP and install it on your phone. Call your isp and have them walk you through the initial set up on your phone and once you do that they can be configured to a schedule for automatically turning on or off. After your isp enables the 2.4 ghz you have an hour to set them up and then going forward they just exist on your network and function as your HBN app is scheduled for! Very convenient and easy to control control lights and other devices! I hope this helps others!!

Works great with alexa, but programming a bit tricky
We use these to power our Christmas tree lights and a nativity scene. We connected it to the alexa app and controlled the turning on and off with our echo show and echo dot by voice commands. So very easy. The first one I had some problem programming. The instructions aren’t great. But after figuring it out, doing the others took just a minute or so. Hint: if programming doesn’t work, reset and start over.

Sporadic functionality
I landed on this product for three reasons: 1) the price, 2) the reviews, 3) the fact that some smart plugs came with 2 outlets. I bought four of the 2-outlet type, and 4 of the single outlet type. I also bought a 2-outlet outdoor smart plug. All 3 orders are on their way back to Amazon as I type this out. I’ve been an IT network engineer for almost 30 years, so I’m very technical.I bought these products to be able to turn on/off my Christmas decorations outside, as well as 12 window candle lights that have been working just fine with RF switch plugs. I wanted a solution whereby I could just hit a button on my phone and turn all candle lights and outside lights off at once, rather than going room-to-room hitting a button on a remote. I also wanted to be able to see if the lights were on while I’m not at home, so a cloud app was a necessity (I’m able to monitor the temperature of my upstairs and downstairs HVAC systems this way, as well as my outdoor cameras, which I love!).My WiFi router is currently operating in dual-mode (a.k.a Smart Connect). That is to say that it broadcasts a SSID for both 2.4Ghz b/g/n and 5Ghz a/n/ac 802.11 spectrums. So if something only transmits/receives in 2.4Ghz, like these smart plugs, it will accept those connections. I have a wireless AP in my closet downstairs, and a separate AP upstairs. All wireless devices in my house have no issues with signal strength at 5Ghz, so naturally 2.4Ghz is never a problem since that signal strength reaches further. My transmit power is also set to 100% for both spectrums.The set up for these devices is pretty straightforward. The instructions for all devices were identical and not very easy to read, so I just watched videos online. The app did not have a selection for my outdoor smart plug, so I had to take a guess on that one (again a video helped). Now here’s where things got unpredictable and sporadic. Units that were farthest away from my AP, but in doors, seemed to connect very easily and stay connected. 2 units in rooms neighboring the closet (where the AP is) constantly showed “offline”. These were clearly defective because I moved them into a room where it had clear line of sight, 10 feet from the 2nd AP, and they still showed “offline”. The outdoor unit, which sat only 15 feet from the closet, just outside my front door, barely was able to initialize much less stay on the network and respond when I tried to interact with it. Some devices showed “offline” but would then come “online” when I walked into the room. I ended up spending at least an hour or two trying to get these devices to consistently show online, but just gave up in the end. I didn’t bother with support, because I already wasted enough time on something that should not be that complicated. Seriously! They make thermostats, refrigerators, cameras and garage door openers that communicate better over 2.4Ghz or even 5Ghz, and can be accessed from home or across the country. But for some reason they can’t do that for these smart plugs!!?? These were made cheap for cheap reasons.Buy these if you only have 1 or 2 devices, keep your AP on some table out in the open near those devices, and only operate them from your phone while in your home and maybe you’ll get what you pay for!

Quick and easy set up…
I was a little apprehensive about getting these be cause AI GENERATED information said it was a frequently returned item that people found difficult to set up. But it was on sale at a great price, so I took a shot.Each one set up in minuted and they seem to be working just fine. We’ll see how we’ll they work o er time, but so far so good.Only thing I don’t like is that if you are plugging it in to a vertical set up outlet, you have to put it on top, or you won’t be able to use the other plug. These are compact, but not THAT compact.

Fonctionne très bien également surtout pas compliqué à installer.

Setup was a little Confusing. Trying to get the blue light to flash for syncing.
