Satechi Dual Smart Outlet with Real-Time Power Monitoring - Wi-Fi Smart Plug 2.4Ghz Enabled - Works with Apple HomeKit (USA, White)

Compared to the Bluetooth eve units I have, the on-off response is nearly instantaneous. Easy setup.

Geared towards Apple users and doesn’t disappoint!! Easy to set up, just remember to connect to 2.4Hz instead of 5Hz and you’re set. I like that it easily integrates with the Apple Home app or the Satechi one and works flawlessly with Siri.

Pros: Dual individually controllable outlets! HomeKit certified Has manual on/off toggle for each outlet Energy consumption monitor App is great when working too Cons: App is spotty - what I mean is until a recent update it wouldn’t open (just crash). The app when working is much better than the competition UI (design) wise.

Works great with HomeKit. Easy to control

Does what its supposed to. Setup was crazy easy: download app, point camera at QR code, name it. Thats it! Seemed to inherit all necessary wifi info from my iPhone. Havent touched Satechi app since; showed up in the Home app automatically and reliably responds to Siri commands. Cons: (1) Bulky design extends from wall about as far as a 30 W apple charger, and is as wide as a standard outlet plate is tall. ...in two years, this will probably look like a relic, but it does its job today. (2) Makes a seriously loud click when toggling outlet power on/off. Perhaps thats a sign of a sturdy relay inside, but certainly detracts from the futuristic function of the device. That said, with active coupon for 25% off the current price ($59...same as the pre-order deal I got on the first one :-/ ) I might just get another for the office.

Good product

Its nice to have two independently controllable smart outlets in a relatively small package. (This product is wide but not tall, so it leaves either the top or bottom outlet free, on a standard 2-outlet receptacle.) Power usage isnt reported separately for each outlet, which, while typical for multi-outlet products, is still disappointing. Id like to know the power consumption of each device I plug in, not total power consumption for the pair. As other people have mentioned, network disconnections do occur, and this requires reconfiguring the product in the Satechi app (terrible) or in Apples Home app.

Super easy to setup and begin using with HomeKit. Less than 5 minutes from plug-in to using. Independently controlled outlets make this a real great deal.

Constant network drops, always seems to be non responsive, fails to automate. I’m not running poverty network, device is unreliable.

This is the future of smart plugs. The system hosts two independently controllable plugs in a very small footprint. Why no one thought of this sooner is beyond me. I’m also very happy with the HomeKit compatibility.
