VOCOlinc Homekit 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

These work really well but setup can be a pain if you have a 5Ghz network - it won’t work. But there’s a decent work around: Most 5GHz routers generate 2 networks, one of which is 2.4GHz, which this needs. Usually it’s something like “Network Name” and “Network Name-5g”. Before paring make sure your iPhone is on the 2.4GHz network and it’ll be fine. Otherwise you’ll get an error and can’t add it to HomeKit. Don’t worry, once it’s paired you can go back to the faster 5GHz on your phone, you only need to do it for pairing. This is the only thing that really sucks about this product because most people don’t know or care about their Wi-Fi band. So that’s not good. Once it’s setup these work like a dream with HomeKit. I already ordered another set because it’s a really great product aside from that one time hiccup.

I purchased one of these switch outlets to use with HomeKit. Since I already had a few Vocolinc devices, setup was quick and easy using the bar code that came with the product. It integrated with my HomeKit and Alexa automatically since I had already syncd the Vocolinc account with Homekit and Alexa Skill. The device has been working great since day one. I use these as digital timers to turn on/off lights at night in place of traditional timers. Currently Im using the device to turn on/off a scented wax melter such that the wax is only melted when someone is home by using the geo-fencing features in Apple HomeKit Automation and the attached device. These devices are excellent. I have several of them now and use them to control not only lights, but also oil scent diffusers and wax melters. Its great to set an automation to turn them off when you leave, and back on when you return, so youre not wasting scent while no one is home.

Chiming to say that these work perfectly with HomeKit. I use a HomePod mini as a hub and have Nest WiFi mesh routers. These smart plugs work great. Ive got four so far in my home and theyve yet to disconnect/fail after a full year of constant usage. Id recommend these if youre looking for a reliable/affordable smart plug to use with HomeKit. Note that, while you can use these without installing any third-party app, you *do* need to have the VOCOlinc app to update the firmware. Updates dont come by often, but I noticed that you cannot do so via the Apple Home app itself; youll need VOCOlincs app from the App Store.

These work great with homekit. For the person below who complained about difficulty scanning the QR code once plugged into an outlet, then dont plug before scanning (instructions below). Also, on my 2.4 and 5gz router outlet even worked perfectly in joining the 2.4 network and not the 5.8, i didnt have to turn off the 5.8 at all. Setup Vocolinc Smart Plug with Apple Homekit 1. Open Apple Home app, select + and the select Add Accessory. 2. Scan QR code on side of Vocolinc smart outlet. Home will prompt to setup, DO NOT do this yet. 3. Plug into outlet. Wait 30 seconds for it to power up 4. Go back to the Home app and complete outlet setup 5. Open Vocolinc app and update the smart outlet firmware as Apple Home doesnt do this immediately.

Works well and reliably with home kit. 3rd vocolinc purchase and pleased with all their homekit products so far. Only neg is wish it had Thread support but 2.4 ghz wifi works. On my 2.4 and 5ghz router the outlet worked perfectly in joining the 2.4 network and not the 5.8, i didnt have to turn off the 5.8 for initial pairing..

Bought it to replace the older generation smart plug which went bad due to difference in Amp. This one works like a charm the only issue is, it takes a bit time to figure out; if in case you want to automate or schedule it.

Product was packaged well and arrived exactly as described and it was super easy to setup with HomeKit!

If youre like me, youre in the midst of trying to make your home a smart home. A big part of this is controlling lights or appliances. Rather than spend $20-30 for each hue bulbs (since I dont need the color changing or brightness for some) this was a cost effective way of making lamps smart. Easy to install via homekit, and havent had any connectivity issues. Simply put, it works!

I tried two other brands for my Home Kit setup. They failed to be responsive and reliable. The VoColink smart plugs are not easy to install but work all the time without a hitch. They are very responsive to status changes I enter on my iPhone.

I’ve tried many brands of smart plugs over the years and this was by far the easiest and worked the first time. Highly recommended
