Hi,

Has anyone used BG Sockets (UK)

I installed 2 of these. Used the BG App, horrible experience, seems they own-branded the Broadlink App and broke it. I already disabled 5Ghz Wifi for some other smart stuff but absolutely refused to pair the easy way, instructions weren’t great but eventually got them in using AP mode. What a few of those above who “managed it but didn’t know how” missed is… Normal pairing mode (fast red flashing) happens on power up, but can also be force by holding down the left button for “somewhere between …

No idea if it works or not as never tried, but thought I would save you the trouble of searching the forum.

yeah I saw this before - that’s for the older sockets, but this is a new app and for the light switches which appear to be different set-up altogether

BG Smart devices

I see indications that they are Tuya based… Try talking to it with the SmartLife App, and if you can get in, use one of the many Tuya integrations.
