> 3 day12/27/19 I do not recommend this product. Trying to set up and both the HomeKit app and the Satechi app pop up with a message telling me I have to use WiFi or cellular data to add the product. Triple checked that I have data for both apps turned on and also checked that data is working. Still get that message. Beyond frustrated. (If the company wants to put out a quality product and works to have quality customer service, I will update if this fix the issue) Will return this product if the issue is not resolved. Edit on 1/1/2020: I purchased a new iPad and was able to get the outlet to work on this device, thank goodness as I did not want to return this product. I raised my rating from one star to three stars. My reasoning behind this rating, the outlet does not work on my iPhone X at all. If I had known this I may have gone with another product. The company needs to specify which devices this product work with and if WiFi is the only option, that this product will not work at all on cell data. I double checked and did not see any reference to not working on data.

Greater than one weekRobust solid product, seems will last a long time. Lightning fast response when using home kit app. I used for coffee and toast so that I do not have to plug and unplug from gif outlet. I really like the convenient on/off button. Smart design overall. Works great!

> 3 dayI’ve looked for many HomeKit capable outlets in the past and was always disappointed by the drawbacks that many of them had. I had stumbled across this one and couldn’t be more impressed by the ease of use during setup and usage and the fact that it didn’t obstruct the other outlet. The second outlet was a huge bonus! Great work Satechi!

> 3 dayGreat solution if you want more than one smart plug as it doesnt cover up second plug on a typical 2 plug wall socket. Each device is individually controllable and there is a physical button for on/off for each plug so you can still control it manually if you are near the plug or dont want to grab your phone or talk to Siri. Excellent quality of materials and design. This is not cheaply made and the price is reasonable for getting two devices controlled.

> 3 dayBought several Satechi products before so didn’t hesitate with this purchase. It was easy to set up, just downloaded the app and scanned the Satechi outlet. Being able to plug in two things is a big plus and the energy monitoring is a nice touch. Recommend for any smart home!

> 3 dayI 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.

Greater than one weekThere’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 weekI have purchased several of these over the past couple of years to control our holiday lighting via Apple Siri and HomeKit. Great to say in the evening “Hey, Siri, Christmas on” and all the lights in the house and outside come on. Same with turning them off. Saves having to spend 5-10 minutes going room-to-room and outside and turning lights on or off. For HomeKit users, I recommend this highly. Easy to set up (go to HomeKit app, add accessory, scan the QR code in the provided manual, and complete the setup. Easy-peasy!
