Long distance
I’m using one of these in my barn and it’s actually connecting to my WiFi extender from the house. I have it programmed to go off and come back on and it works great!! The app is a little bit hard to understand to get it programmed, but once you figure that out, it’s easy and it doesn’t lose its program.

Best Smart Plugs I’ve Used So Far
I put smart plugs on pretty much anything I can. The first thing I like about this set of plugs was the price. The price alone for 4 is very good, there was a 10% off coupon on the product page and using my Prime Visa I received an additional 5% cash back. Also, living in the area I do, I was able to get them the same day.The have been the easiest ones I have bought to setup. They are 2.4 Ghz network compatible only, which has been the case with all the other smart plugs I’ve purchased. However, when I set these up, unlike the others I have, I don’t have to log into my internet modem and turn off the 5 Ghz network, setup the plug, then go back into the modem and turn the 5 Ghz back on (most modems today are dual band with 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz which run simultaneously). So, all I had to do was plug in the plug, hold the button for about 10 seconds to put it into setup mode, go into the Smart Home app on my phone, assign it a name and boom the plug is ready. Repeat for each of the plugs as I used them.One issue I didn’t like with previous plugs is that the name had to be one word. With these, you can assign multiple word names. For example, instead of using the name Lamp, you can name it Bedroom Lamp, or Table Lamp, basically much better descriptions for what they are. Once setup they are fully integrated with Alexa so you can include them in groups, change names or any other setting right from the Alexa app. So, you can operate these smart plugs from any Alexa enabled device (Echo devices, Fire TV remotes, etc.). Whatever is easiest where you are.Finally, they give off a little “click” when you turn them on and off. I like this because if whatever I tell Alexa to turn on doesn’t turn on, I know if I heard the “click” it wasn’t because I pronounced the name wrong or Alexa couldn’t understand because of loud background noise, and that there may be an issue with whatever I was trying to turn on (like I out of lifetime habit, manually turn the device off by its own on/off switch.The only thing I would change is I wish they were a bit smaller. They work perfectly on wall outlets. You can use one and still plug something else in the other outlet or use two in the same outlet. However, I use a lot of power strips with multiple outlets on the and USB ports and the width of these smart plugs ends up covering the outlet next to it so I can’t plug as many things into the strip. But I use the power strips more so that I have USB ports available around my home, so it isn’t that big of a deal most of the time.Overall, I highly recommend these smart plugs.

BAIT & SWITCH – NEW updated version is BAD – DO NOT BUY THIS SOCKET UNLESS YOU GET THE OLD VERSION
Update 1/26/24:Received my replacement box for the 4 that didn’t measure power and they too did not measure power, but this time I noticed the box was labeled NEW (as-in new version). So I think BN-Link has performed a bait and switch. The new edition are actually an older chipset model which is very poor quality.I tested this NEW version (but with older chipset model) and :1) it uses twice as much current as the better older model. 0.45W idle versus 0.86 W idle.2) It runs significantly hotter. The original was cool to the touch. When I draw the same load on this supposed new and improved model, it ran very hot, almost dangerously so.3) The older better model measured the power of the attached devices. These new ones don’t. I needed this to automate power down when my attached device are idle (like chargers have charged all my devices, or I turn off my A/V system)So, I would not purchase this brand going forward unless the company returns to the better chipset that measures power of the attached devices, draws less power when idle, and does not run hot when actively loaded.DO NOT BUY THIS BRAND GOING FORWARDUpdate 1/22/24:Be careful and check your devices right away when received. I ordered a second set of 4 and the new set contained older sockets. The first set of 4 I purchased contained sockets with firmware 1.3.5 which supports power tracking. The second order of 4 contained firmware 1.0.3, which does not support power tracking. The hardware in the sockets on firmware 1.0.3 cannot support power tracking period and cannot be upgraded. Still no issues with the original 4. These first 4 I purchased are working very well and without any issues.————————I don’t know the long term reliability yet, but these are working well within my Feit app (my Feit bulbs only work in the Feit app and do not work in Smart Life). I like that this smart socket tells how much power is being drawn by the attached devices.I purchased the single socket outlet module and then attached power strips to control multiple devices at one time.1) This app / smart socket does not measure power draw less than 3W.2) I think someone else measured that this device draws 0.5W without any device connected.3) All my chargers draw less then 0.5W when idle and not charging, so it takes more than 6 idle/standby devices to even measure power on this device4) I found out that my Apple TV, TV, and stereo all used less than 3W combined when powered down. So for me, I don’t think putting devices on it to control vampire power drain will save too much power. If I have 3 devices using about 1.5W when idle, then I’m saving about 1W of power with this set of 3 devices on this smart socket if the power is turned off with this smart switch instead off just plugging these devices into the wall directly. So I think it would take years to save enough power to pay for this device.5) I found that my subwoofer and speakers with powered subwoofers drew about 20-40W when idle. So I set up my theater to power down everything if the power draw on the socket dropped below 30W. So, if I turned off my TV and stereo, this smart plug automatically turns off everything saving me 20-30W vampire power draw. This device should easily pay for itself in a year.6) I bought a 10 outlet power strip to plug all my chargers into it. If I see the power draw is less than 4W, I assume every device has finished charging and I then power down all the chargers. I also only turn on the plug after midnight so I know my chargers only charge when electricity is cheap for me and it will then automatically power down all the chargers when charging is complete.7) Lastly, I just use these for convenience, to automatically turn on and off devices at certain times of the day.

29/06/2020 hasta el momento los 4 han funcionado perfecto, no hay diferencia entre las mediciones de consumo entre ellos, si se va la luz o el wifi, cuando vuelve se reconectan bastante rápido, incluso más rápido que los teléfonos celulares. Faciles de instalar, excelente compatibilidad con google home, se pueden agregar a rutinas de google o la app de Smart life. Solo falta verificar que sean durables, estaré actualizando el comentario.

Works great, easy to install. I really like the big “on/off” button in the front. Usually the button is on the side. Easier to turn on and off when I’m close by than reaching for the app. App is used when away from home.

Tengo 12 de estos enchufes si 12!!!!!! y los he estado usando desde hace ya muchos meses, por su calidad – precio no creo que encuentres algo mejor, yo los uso para todo, literal para todo (Camaras de seguridad, lamparas de escritorio, lamparas de pie, lámparas mata mosquitos, luces de jardin) inclusive las uso para la interperie (donde no se mojen obviamente pero les da el sol y expuestas al polvo) y como si nada, total por el precio lo reemplazas y listo si se daña, super recomendable además fácil de configurar, en 2 min tienes el apagador funcionando, seguiré comprando conforme vaya necesitando.

No he probado muchos Smart plug pero estos me han gustado mucho van dos veces que los compro en paquete y los utilizo mucho. No se si hacen lo mismo que otros pero en estos he encontrado funcionalidades muy útiles al grado de que uno de ellos opera mi Chapa eléctrica de la puerta de mi casa para automatizarla o hacerla inteligente. La calidad es muy buena y el único detalle es que la forma rectangular a veces no se adapta a apagadores dobles o múltiples haciendo que solo pueda conectar el Smart plug porque tapa las otras salidas. La terminar no es giratoria por lo que no hay mucho que hacer en ese tema y veo que la gama de smart plugs son muchas y hay otros más pequeños pero no se si pueden hacerse todas las cosas que hace esté como programar funciones ej al prender físicamente o por dispositivo se quedará prendido tanto tiempo y después de esperar se apagará solo y cosas de ese tipo. Por el precio han sido económicos y por lo que hacen han sido una buena compra. Conviene comprarlos cuando vienen en paquete y no individuales y estoy seguro que te servirán enormemente. Si los volvería a comprar una y otra vez.
