The Bn-Link (B097NHBPN9) is a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi power strip utilizing an Espressif or equivalent chipset within the Tuya/Smart Life ecosystem. Technical specifications indicate a total load capacity of 15A at 1875W, utilizing independent relay control for three AC outlets. Material analysis confirms the inclusion of surge protection rated at 1200 Joules, providing a mid-tier buffer for connected peripherals. The integrated USB-A ports provide a combined 3.1A output, which is shared across the bank.
Operational data reveals that while the three AC outlets are independently switchable via software, the USB ports are toggled as a single group. The device does not include energy monitoring silicon, focusing exclusively on power switching and scheduling. Performance metrics suggest that initial pairing requires a 2.4GHz band; users with combined 2.4/5GHz mesh systems may need to move to the edge of the signal range to ensure a successful handshake during the initial setup process.
- Modes of operation: Smart Life App integration, Alexa/Google Voice Command, Independent AC Toggling.
- Hardware limits: 2.4GHz only, Grouped USB control, No wattage tracking.
Summary: A stable 3-outlet distributor for the Tuya ecosystem, offering independent AC control and moderate surge protection for standard household loads.
