How to choose
Outlets: shared or independent
The BN-LINK runs 3 outlets together, so all devices on it follow one switch, while the meross and the HBN let each socket run on its own. The Geeni gives two sockets for outdoor lights and devices. If you want one string of lights on while another stays off, pick sockets with their own control. If every device on the plug shares one schedule, shared control keeps setup simple.
Remote control means phone and voice
Remote control on these plugs runs through a phone and voice commands. The BN-LINK uses the Smart Life app, the meross uses its app with Alexa, Google and Siri, the TREATLIFE uses the SmartLife or TreatLife app, and the HBN uses the BN-HUB or HBN Smart app. The BN-LINK, meross, TREATLIFE and HBN all need a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, so check that band before buying.
Timers, schedules and weatherproofing
A timer sets on or off at a set time, while a schedule repeats that pattern across days. The BN-LINK has a countdown timer with dusk and sunrise scheduling, and the meross and the HBN pair timer settings with schedules. The TREATLIFE offers scheduling with sunrise and sunset modes, and the Geeni offers scheduling from anywhere. For outdoor use, the BN-LINK, TREATLIFE and HBN carry IP44 weatherproofing, while the Geeni uses weather-resistant socket covers.
