Review on 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, 2-Pack by Brent Walker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works fine - but not the easiest to setup

Got it set up and working with my Alexa devices, but not as easy as the ebay plugs. First you have to download the HBN app and create an account. Then you plug in the plug, find your network- you MUST have a 2.4 Ghz network if you only have 5 Ghz it won't work - enter the password for your network, then hit reset on the plug and search for it in the app. Once its found you're good to go. Now you have to go the Alexa app, enable the HBN skill, go to 'games and skills', find the hbn skill, click on it, and search for devices until it finds the plug. Mine found it on the second try. If you want to name the plug you must do so in the HBN app. So there you go, if it was an ebay plug it would set itself up on your Alexa network immediately. Now that its setup it works just fine. If its worth it to save a few $$, and you are ok with the extra setup steps, its a good product.

Pros
  • EASY TO INSTALL & WARRANTY - Download the HBN Smart App and follow the instructions to connect the smart plugs. No Hub Required, works with 2.4GHz network. ETL certified for safety use. 15 months warranty.
Cons
  • The device may require a separate remote control for some features
