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

No pude configurarlo con la red mesh eero, a pesar de apagar la red 5 GHz seguía sin conectarse al wifi

Works great! Works as two different HomeKit plugs. Always works, and it doesn’t disconnect, which I appreciate.

This was quite easy to set up. No issues. Integrated with Homekit easily. I havent done extensive testing on its power monitoring, but that feature is less important to me. It works as expected.

purchased 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.

Works with eero Pro mesh network—first time. Way better than iDevices.

Ive used this device for three days. This product was just as I had hoped for, with regard to two individually operated outlets. It doesnt cover the other outlet, as other reviewers have pointed out. I downloaded the Satechi app from Apple for installation (iOS for iPad). Set up was very easy. The device was running in 4-5 minutes. The instructions mention to turn off 5GB wifi on ones router before installing, which I did. After installation was completed, Siri commands work as expected. My only question is for the company: How do I update the firmware? I found the details button for the device, which shows the firmware as v. 3.3.6. But how do I know that this is the latest version? I cant find an update button on the app to confirm. Im happy with the product.

I was looking for a smart home plug to replace my second WeMo Insight that died (thats the second one in two years, so caveat emptor: WeMo Insights have a really short lifespan), and this one seemed like it might do the trick. Installation and set up in the app was quick and easy. It was also quick and easy to see that the only way you could find any information about power usage was to open the Satechi app. It doesnt even report in use/not in use status with Apple HomeKit the way the WeMo Insight does. So its obviously possible to have that functionality, but that might actually take some programming that goes above and beyond checking a feature list item. Why is it useful to know whether the switch is in use/not in use (which is not the same as on/off, its more like, drawing power/not drawing power). Its useful for reporting when appliances that are doing stuff for you have completed their chore. Like the clothes drier for example. Using the WeMo Insight, when the clothes drier completed its cycle, the WeMo app would send me a notification that the switch was no longer in use (not drawing power), so I knew the load had finished. Likewise, the Insight and the WeMo switches are supported on IFTTT, so I could run some automation integration with HomeKit, like playing a drier finished tone on my HomePods to alert me to the fact that the drier had stopped. Its too bad. The Satechi switch seems really well built, and heavy duty enough to last. But as often happens with hardware companies, they fail to recognize the potential value of taking the software to the next level of functionality. In their rush to get a well built hardware product into the world and start making sales, they deliver something run by software thats not truly useful to their target market. Then they end up having to turn that sale into a refund.

I got two units. The relays in both work fine and the the response time is very fast. The build quality is fairly good except that one LED was dead out of the box, and that is probably the easiest part of the entire device to get right, so my confidence isn’t very high. I’m less happy about the software. The core feature of toggling the sockets works. The energy consumption seems to barely work at all. Probably software kinks that have yet to be worked out. Either one of these issues on their own and I would probably feel better about the product, but combined, and given that these things handle household mains power.. kinda freaks me out. I think I might just cut into the defective one to see why the LED doesn’t work.

It wouldn’t recognize the first few times I tried to connect it. Had to switch the Wi-Fi server on my iPhone. Once I got it going though worked like a charm.

This dual outlet was super easy to set up. I was worried with it being 2.4ghz only and my network has the same SSID for both 2.4/5ghz. It had no issues connecting to my network and setting up in HomeKit. Will absolutely buy some more.
