Why did I buy this

I have philips, wemo, and C by GE, and I bought this on sale because it says it shows usage like a meter. This is true, but all it's features are only available for Apple and you have to use their app for power usage, not homekit. The big issue is the app interface is not easy to use and confusing

Bought to control and monitor the 750 watt space heater in my office. It was easy to setup and works with Homekit. My only complaint is the need to have the eve app installed to monitor the usage. Kind of defeats the purpose of trying to have one app “Homekit “ do it all.
Overall great smartplug.

I was thinking I was going to get more from this, in an appliance monitor.
I am assuming after time and getting more into their product line, hoping to get more out of it as I expand on it's functions.

I currently have four of these “smart plugs” and have been using them for 2-3 months. They were fairly quick and simple to set up using the Eve app on an iPhone. I had issues setting one of them up but I removed it from the app and restarted the process which then worked just fine.
After using the Eve app to initially set up and update the firmware, I set the devices up in the Apple Homelink app (I’m using an old iPad as a dedicated Apple Homelink hub)
I can’t say for sure what causes this issue but occasionally the Homelink app can’t find the Eve devices even when the devices are plugged in just a few feet away from the hub.
I rarely use the metering functionality partly because I use the plugs to control low energy LED lamps however, that feature seems to work just fine in the Eve app.
I’d still consider buying more of these for the ~$20 I paid for them even with the intermittent communication issues. The convenience of on/off programming and remote control from my phone are worth it.

These are the best plugs I have in my house. They respond immediately. It is like flipping a switch. I have some hue smart plugs that are also nice but when the wifi is slow, they don't respond well. I don't know about their range (all the ones I have are close to homepods) but they are incredible for me. I got them for $25 on discount.
If youre buing them right now, I'd go with the newer one, as this is the older model. Its exactly the same but smaller.

This has been a smart buy since it actually gives me in real time the actual wattage a device or appliance is using. In that way, I know how to be smart to save on my electric bill. Plus, I can turn on and off a device remotely using the app or Siri. I just wished it's compatible with Alexa, too. I also find this very useful for my generator use since it can calculate how much wattage my appliances are, I know which ones I can plug to my generator without overloading it.

My garage lights are inconvenient to turn on and off -- this has fixed this. I docked one star because it stopped responding once before I had set up a HomeKit hub. Since I set up the Apple TV as a HomeKit hub, it has worked every time.

I love this power meter. I use it on my portable air conditioner snd it’s shown me how much I am saving with the new unit over the older unit which makes me feel good about upgrading my AC unit. It gives great information including total usage and total cost. Plus it allows you to control the power to your device using Apple home and Siri.

Purchased it while it was on sale At Best But. I already own a few of these outlet so I had experience with them. They are reliable and get the job done for the Apple HomeKit Eco System.

I bought this to use with apple homekit to turn a heat lamp on and off. It does that. You can set a schedule for it, too. I bought a few more as gifts when they were on deal of the day. The power monitor feature (on the eve app) is really interesting and useful/unique.
