BN-LINK Smart Power Strip: Added in the App and Ready to Name
Opening the strip, pairing it and looking at the outlet controls in the app.
Article published November 4, 2026.
A power strip gets more interesting when its outlets appear separately in an app. That is what I want to try with this BN-LINK unit: a place to connect desk lights, with controls I can reach from my phone.
Start with the strip
I open the package, look through the instructions and point out the six outlets and USB connections. I discuss the listed charging specifications, without measuring their output.
The app finds it
After powering the strip, I install the BN-LINK app and start adding a device. The strip is discovered, joins the network and appears successfully in the app.
I show the device list and its naming and switching controls. I do not demonstrate an Alexa or Google Assistant command in this recording, or test schedules and long-term remote reliability.
Think in terms of the lights I actually want to control
BN-LINK sent this for the video. It gives me a different physical arrangement from the individual EIGHTREE smart plugs I opened separately. That later unboxing does not replace the actual app setup shown here.
This is not an electrical load, surge-protection or network-security assessment.
