VOCOlincHomekit Smart Plug Works with Alexa, Apple Home, Google Assistant, WiFi Smart Plug That Work with Alexa, Electrical Timer Outlet Support Siri, No Hub Required, 15A, 2.4GHz, 110～120V 4 Pack

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I love this. I chose this kind because it works with HomeKit. I used it to solve a specific problem, but with the Ninja Creami, it has like a safety feature that works like an internal "Circuit Breaker", so I needed a way to shut off the power to the Creami and turn it back on when I wanted to use it.

My experience with this product has been outstanding, and it has become an essential part of my smart home setup.The integration with Apple HomeKit is seamless. Setting it up was a breeze; it was as simple as plugging it in and adding it to my HomeKit through the app. The smart plug responds promptly to commands, whether I’m turning a lamp on or off or setting a schedule for my appliances. It’s impressive how well it integrates with the HomeKit ecosystem, allowing me to control my devices effortlessly with Siri or through the Home app.Apart from HomeKit, this smart plug is compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, which is great for households using multiple smart systems. However, my primary use with HomeKit has been flawless. The ability to control devices with voice commands using Siri adds a level of convenience that I greatly appreciate.The build quality of the smart plug is solid, and its design is compact enough not to obstruct adjacent outlets, which is a thoughtful design aspect. The WiFi connectivity is reliable, ensuring that the plug remains connected and responsive.Another feature I find particularly useful is the electrical timer outlet. It allows me to automate devices like my coffee maker and lights, adding to the convenience and efficiency of my daily routine.The fact that no hub is required is a huge plus, reducing clutter and the need for additional hardware. The simplicity of plug-and-play makes this smart plug a great choice for those who are new to smart home technology.

I’ve been using the **VOCOlinc Homekit Smart Plug** for a while now, and it’s hands down one of the best smart plugs I’ve owned. It integrates flawlessly with **Apple HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Assistant**, making it a versatile option no matter what ecosystem you prefer.Setup was a breeze, especially with Apple HomeKit. I love that I can control the plug from my phone or through voice commands with any of my smart assistants. It responds quickly, and the connection is always reliable. I also appreciate the compact design—it's small enough not to block the other outlet.The **energy monitoring** feature is a bonus, helping me keep track of power usage, and I can easily schedule the plug to turn on or off at specific times, which is great for automating my devices.If you're looking for a smart plug that works with all the major platforms and is easy to use, this is a solid choice!

There's not much to these, they're smart plugs that turn something on and off when you program it to. The only "smart" items in my home are my lights and a Nest Thermostat. So I have been very interested in trying out "Smart" home technology, but never really had a need for a power outlet.The Christmas, I got annoyed going behind the tree and plugging/unplugging the tree. I also felt like I wanted the tree lights on every time we were home, to maximize our efforts in even putting up the tree. So, I added this plug to my network and eventually into Amazon Alexa as well as my Apple Homekit. Once all connected, it hasn't had any hiccups or issues. It's pretty reliable, granted it's right next to my router, so I cannot speak for range.I had some issues connecting. Not sure why... I'm fairly tech/network savvy. Eventually, I got it setup.Now I have another one doing nothing right at this moment and I keep trying to think of things I can use it for and what I'm going to do with the one for the Christmas tree once it's gone. These definitely are a luxury for me. The reasoning behind the tree are really for convenience.So I only really recommend this if you have a clear need and reason for automating one of your plugs.. or else it's a waste of money.

Bought two 2-packs, finally got around to installing three of them yesterday (Apple ecosystem with Arris Surfboard router). Setup was pretty easy, which was good since I’ve had to reset/reinstall all three of them at least four times in the past 24 hours. They worked fine for the first night, then when I got home from work today they were, all three, “offline”. And despite all the resetting and reinstalling tonight, they keep going offline, forcing me to delete & reinstall over and over again. And that’s with me not trying anything fancy — just trying to turn a light on in a dark room before I get there.Also, while they all showed up in the GF’s Home app, apparently Siri can’t control them for her. And Siri on my Apple Watch can’t control them.I was reluctant to spend money on any home-automation/HomeKit stuff because I wasn’t sure that it was worth it. If this device is representative of the state of the technology, then it isn’t. Or maybe this product is just awful. (And I’m past my Amazon return-date, of course.)FOLLOW-UP: Manufacturer eventually contacted me about these defective products, with a laundry list of suggestions for me to try, some of which probably would’ve been challenging for a computer-science professional or electrical engineer. And despite the fact that these are far more unreliable and user-friendly than advertised, the manufacturer refused to refund my money.My recommendation is to stay far away from this product and this manufacturer.

Compatible and easy to use with Apple Home. Switches a full 15 amps, making it suitable for controlling a small heater or large halogen lights. A fun, inexpensive way to try home automation. I’ve had these for a couple years controlling fans and lights with no issues.
