# 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. Canonical page: https://pyrosoft.pro/blog/bn-link-smart-power-strip-f638b085 Published: 2026-11-04 Some links to other products on this page are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission if you buy through them. It costs you nothing extra, and it has not changed what this article says — where a competitor is the better answer, we say so. 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. The original product, GameDev.tv course and channel-membership links are below.
