Philips - Hue Smart Plug - White

So, I know this is technically for lamps and it even says to only use this product for lamps and lights, but I'm using it for a fan and it works great! I have HomeKit, so it's pretty awesome to turn the fan on and off with just my voice. Plus, I have location awareness on my phone so I know my lights and fan turn off every time I leave. Amazing product!

I've had these for a couple of weeks and so far so good. I have used other "smart" plugs with mixed results. They either do not play well with Hue or Homekit or they don't stay connected. When it comes to home automation I want it to be simple and reliable. I'm using these in my attached garage for automating my lights with a motion sensor. If anything changes over time with these Hue Smart Plugs I will update this review.

Bought this to replace a Wemo outlet that I use in my bedroom to turn on and off an air purifier so it only runs when I am in the room. The Wemo outlet had a relatively bright white light that was on when the outlet was on, which lit up the room. From the pictures it didn't seem like this one had a light on it but there is a dim green one under the plastic on the front. It does make my bedroom darker at night, so it's an improvement, just wish there was a way to turn the light off without covering it with electricians tape.

I just bought this for a lamp with integrated LED to be able to control this lamp along with the rest of my lamps with HUE bulbs. However, the lamp has some sort of dimmer function (three light levels) and this does not work with the smart plug for some reason, i.e. I can only control the lamp to go off, and then I have to turn it on again "manually". Disappointed.

I've only had the device in action for a couple of weeks. I found it very easy to set up with the Hue app. I plugged in decorative string lights. Things are working flawlessly. It has a small profile on the outlet, too. I am really happy that Phillips Hue starting making smart plugs.
