Needed this as got a twinkle tree for the wall, which doesn’t have a switch and is usb. Bought this to plug in twinkle light and table lamp (which is hue light). Perfect, slotted into my room set ups nicely.
Phillips Hue accessories are generally more expensive than some of the competitors, but I hardly if ever get the “some of your devices are taking a long time to respond” message from Siri in connection with them, this plug adapter is no exception and has worked faultlessly
If you’re switching a heavy current load – like a radiator – you’ll want a wifi plug that’s properly built and safe. This is reassuringly constructed and works faultlessly with our other Hue bits and pieces. I’d not want to save a few pounds for something like this.
This is the first smart plug I have brought and it’s working very well. Use it on a lamp on my desk. It’s lovely being able to go to bed and control it on the Phillips app on my iPhone. Might get another.
This has been brilliant over Christmas, able to control Christmas tree lights and out door lights. As long as you have the Philips hue hub paring is straight forward then set the days and times save it and forget about it and let it do its thing. Definitely a keeper and will be using this next year.
No issues with the seller delivery was fine pick up was at an Amazon locke
I already have a lot of Hue lights so am well acquainted with setup and use of these products. I actually wanted this for use in the shed alongside a small heater and temperature sensor (from SwitchBot) and a couple of IFTTT programs so I could stop the shed from going below 0 degrees. I was sceptical about the range and operation as it was outside and through the wall of the house however there have been no issues and the unit works perfectly. A little button on the top to operate in manual and that’s all there is to it. Only minor “issue” is that it still sees the unit as a light when in the app as a standalone “room” but that is really the only thing and not exactly an issue.
Hue products are the best if you are prepared to pay the price. I have the hub and different Hue devices and they all work seamlessly and are pretty much instant in response. I have just purchased some of the Nanoleaf lamps along with some tiles – they are also at the top end of the price range and are decent. However, the response time is no where near as good and there is a switch lag of a second or two which has made my mind up completely. Philips Hue is the best. This plug was on offer at 25 and I already own another so I know how good it is and easy to integrate into my hue set up. Plug it in and add to the app – takes a minute and then you have perfect control ability to switch your plug smartly. I would not waste money on cheap smart plugs unless you are prepared to accept mediocrity.
