Review on HBN Smart Plug 15A, WiFi&Bluetooth 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, 4-Pack by Steve Lawrence

So far I like it. But I can't say too much about the original HBN app, because I deleted it and I am currently using the Smart Life app instead. The instruction leaflet that the socket came with can use a little updating. It was confusing and it took several tries to add the smart socket to the app. The app itself was not too confusing, but it still took several tries to connect the device. Then when I went to link the socket to my Alexa it gave me an error in the Alexa app. It said the app was not current. Well I was not able to update the HBN app, possibly because it is the most recent version. Alexa then also gave me an option to switch to the Smart Life app. At first I thought "oh is this the updated version" and since I already had the app for my other sockets I use, I just switched over and everything just automatically linked after I connected the app to socket. What a breeze. It turns out the Smart Life app is a totally different app all together and it seems to serve as a catch-all app for many of the different brand devices out there. In fact the other sockets that I was already using the app for were for a totally different brand.
