16-11-2024Its 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.

> 3 dayThere’s a lot of smart plug options out there, but this ones well worth it. Had no issues setting it up and is working perfectly so far. Priced a little higher than others out there but adds an extra outlet that can be controlled individually and it monitors energy use in real time.

Greater than one weekPros: 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.

> 3 dayPros: Fast on/off Cons: Manufacturers app is missing some logic. I can set different schedules for same outlet from iPad and iPhone and have now idea which it right one. Nether one see other schedule. Besides iPad app doesn’t have landscape mode so impossible to use if iPad is a Hub and attacked to the wall horizontally.

> 3 dayI thought these would be helpful for locations where I need two smart outlets on a single plug. They’re great when they work, but they seem to lose the network connection all the time. I’m going to have to replace them with something else.

> 3 dayReally, really, really bad. This outlet is so buggy, I can’t believe they would release not only this cheap hardware, but the app is absolutely unusable.

> 3 daypurchased this item and had hopes it would be easy set up - however upon plugging in and attempting to connect to my wifi the homekit app stated that it could not connect to my wifi network. I use an apple router so was confused by this. I was very disappointed in this and so am returning the product.

Greater than one weekThis device regularly loses network connectivity...despite being three feet away from the WiFi access point. No network connectivity equals no Homekit connectivity, of course. So, what this means is that the ~$60 USD spent on this is not money well spent--its no different than having an outlet extender. Ive had this device for months, and had hoped there would be a firmware update to solve this. Alas, nothing. This not only speaks to this device, it speaks to the brand as well.
