Mr MT Badmin –
Quality kit, easy to fit, set up and work great
Really love this but if kit. Really nice, quality product. I had been considering what I could do to reduce my use of Alexa/Wi-Fi plugs in some areas of the house, as Iâve been using them a lot for various home automation and equipment setup recently. I wanted to tidy things up a bit where possible and reduce any plugs hanging out of the sockets and this looked like a great solution – and itâs been perfect for the job! I was a bit skeptical at first due to the very reasonable price in comparison to a single Wi-Fi plug, but having opened the box I found this to be a quality brand and product, being well made and thought out. Being a British company I was reassured at the note about being GDPR compliant with my data, as some Wi-Fi products like these sockets which you add your Wi-Fi network password to can send data all over the world and come with little or no information on this. Additionally I was equally impressed with the app (BG Home) which is well layed out, user friendly and intuitive to use. Fitting the socket was a straight forward affair and as soon as you turn on the power the sockets go into setup mode and the switches start to flash and are then easily locatable within the app for you to set up. You can then give the socket a master name and then each individual socket can also be named separately too. Then you simply add the Alexa skill it is instantly recognisable for you to use voice commands to turn on and off. Connectivity can be an issue with these types of product, Iâve experienced problems in the past with the connection dropping out before, but having added 2 sets of sockets now to my network Iâve had no issues, nor when Iâve reset the modem, or reset the power, they have both seemed to have rejoined the network without any manual intervention which Iâve had to do with some plugs in the past, so top marks to BG for this. As I mentioned above I bought a second socket as I was so impressed with the first one, and I have been using them reliably for a couple of weeks now. They look much nicer than having Wi-Fi plugs poking out every socket, given you a little more space if your plug is behind furniture for example. You also have the option of using the manual, single push switches to turn them on and off, or you can use a voice command or itâs controllable via the app, so no problems for the boomers in the family or visitors who get confused by giving voice commands – they can bend down and press them on and off just like they are used to. The low blue glow of the switches looks neat as well when they are switched on. They work just as as well as the Wi-Fi plugs without the clutter – Highly recommended!
The Meerkat –
Great value British product.. highly recommended!
When I first bought the 800 series round-edge 2-gang socket, it had more bugs than an Amazon rainforest. Issue after issue and frequent calls to the tech team. However, persistence pays off and after a few discussions, the product is working as it should. So if you do get one that drops out after 20 seconds or constantly says itâs unreachable… speak to the Tech guys and mention the Meerkat.First tip… unless you have a big-screen mobile. Use a tablet to set up your sockets, itâs far easier… trust me!The second tip… do not use direct connection… use alternative connection method. It will save you a lot of time and stress!The third tip… if you use a VPN.. disable it. You can reconnect once the service connection has been established and it will function perfectly fine.5 âï¸ For build quality and product finish4 âï¸ For the app – direct connection fails more than once during setup, alternative setup is better.5 âï¸ Firmware updates as soon as you are connected to your router to provide you with the latest security updates.5 âï¸ Tech Support from James and MarkI have openly stated on previous reviews that this product is not fit for purpose. I can honestly say that testimony from recent issues was escalated to product development and the product management team. By doing so has provided results in both product improvement in both software and hardware.Such is my confidence now in this product, I have purchased a couple for a disabled homeowner. Installed, they now provide both verbal and remote control of various appliances. Assured by British Standards, CE and ROHS quality assured. I know they are safe as well.Overall rating is 4/5âï¸As excellent… get the app sorted with auto-configuration and it may well make 5âï¸ as outstanding!Update #2 17 Jan 2020Since my first purchase, I installed the sockets in a third party location for a disabled user. Initial setup went like clockwork. Set up to work with Alexa, no issues there, the only issue I did find was that because I was using the same app on my own mobile, the app software somehow created a bridge between my hive and that of the hive in the third-party property – result being that Hive can will (according to various other forums) shut down one of the thermostats. Which one nobody can determine. On top of that, installing the second 2 gang faceplate in property #2 the app software insisted it was installed as ‘Slave’ not ‘Master’ socket. This issue has been forwarded on to both Tech and Product Development to look at a solution.The third tip – should you find this to be an issue (as a workaround solution) when setting up additional sockets, set them individually via the app and disconnecting negative from the back of the faceplate. Once each socket set as Master, then reconnect the negative and screw the faceplate to the backbox – job done.**Remember** set up in AP Config Mode to ensure each socket becomes a Master Socket… if it becomes the slave and if the Master socket fails, it will take out ALL the slaves connected in series, so if you have 1 Master and 3 slaves running in series – all dead. If you have 4 Masters, only the failed Master remains as failed, the others remain operational.
