HBN Smart Plug 15A, WiFi Outlet Extender Dual Socket Plugs Works with Alexa, Google Home Assistant, Remote Control with Timer Function, No Hub Required, ETL Certified, 2.4G WiFi Only, 2-Pack

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.

Works great, easy to setup, configure and affordable
I used this product for Christmas tree lights. You have to download and set it up with their app. It did take some time to configure a connection with the app because of the different light signals. After eventually connecting it with the app it was easy to set up a schedule to turn Christmas lights on and off. It also worked great with adding it to Google Home app so I can add it to a Routine.

Terrible instructions and set up
This dual plug has terrible instructions and setup. I’ve used many bluetooth and Alexa products. This one is so bad I had to return it. Every step along the way, which is many, to get it automated with Alexa was not straight forward, was confusing, did not work, or otherwise caused problems.The instructions are tiny lettering and non intuitive. I could not find the starting point. There is a link for online PDF instructions. The link goes to their home page and no further. No help.I found the app and installed it. The setup showed about a dozen different plugs. No model numbers on mine of the dozen in the app. None of the ones in the app looked like my dual plug – they were all single plugs. I tried the auto setup but the device did not appear.Eventually, I found tiny page numbers on the instructions and each “page” is only a half page so 1-9 goes along the top half and 10-18 along the bottom half. Then another 18 mini pages on the backside. If you just try to read the instructions you go from step 1 to step 10 to step 2 to step 11. Very confusing.I skipped the NOTE to hold on/off for 5 sec for factory reset since it was a new product. Next step – status based on blinking lights – didn’t help because there were no blinking lights. Back to factory reset. But holding down the button did nothing. I tried the second button, that did the trick. Now there’s a blue flashing light.Back to the app. The device showed up in auto setup. I had to enter my wifi password for the app, then again for the device. Setup timed out. I had to enter the wifi password again to retry. Timed out again. You get the picture. Eventually I copied that password so I could paste it in each time. I took several tries before the setup actually worked.Now for Alexa setup. There is a link in the app to setup Alexa. I tried it. It took me to a page that said “if you’re seeing this you need to update your app.” I went to the app store. Looks like I have the latest version that’s 1 year old – no updates available.I realized that HBN were amatuers and decided to return the product at this point. I’m trying the Govee product, and they’re worked for me in the past.

Easy to use
I can link this plug to Alexa or I can use the app that comes with the product itself. I use it for my crockpot so I don’t have to waste money buying one with the timer because I can just set this one to go on and off when I choose.

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

Es un gran producto

It is a great buy so far. Using it to remotely turn on the lights and heat in my garage. Works great! Easy setup and a breeze to use. It will be nice to have a warm garage to go to in the winter.
