It worked fine for about 6 months and then I think with the .

It worked fine for about 6 months then with the latest firmware (not sure) I was only able to connect locally which means my phone had to be on the same network the plug was configured on also means I can't access it when I'm not at home. It used to work fine, but recently it stopped. I am writing to support to see if they have any solutions. Return period expired. Can search for another brand.

Don't buy, after a month it stopped working.

I have ordered a smart plug to use with the Revain Echo. When it arrived I set it up straight away, first creating an account on the BroadLink IHC, then plugging it into an outlet before finally connecting to my Echo.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure
