KooGeek,
specialist in home and connected health, has just unveiled
the European adaptation of its HomeKit compatible connected socket integrating
notably consumption measurement functionalities. This news
solution faces already established competition in this area, whose
Elgato Eve
tested in our columns, or even takingTP-Link
what
we also tried.
But the strengths of the Koogeek socket in terms of functionality and
price level placement will certainly convert those who are still hesitant to
move on to accessories for the connected home, if the quality is up to par
go of course:
The Koogeek connected socket has just arrived in Europe in a version
compatible with our electrical outlets. She is certified
“HomeKit compatible” and therefore supports Siri commands. She uses the
2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network in the home without the need for a hub or other bridge
centralisation.
Using an Apple TV or iPad as your HomeKit Home Center
at home, it is obviously possible to control the Koogeek socket remotely,
for example to turn off or turn on a device, such as a radiator
electric, from anywhere else in the world.
Not content with supporting various programming in the form of planning or
scenes with events, the capture can also allow the user to
monitor the consumption of the devices connected to it.
To put it simply, if everything works as planned, Koogeek could offer it
a very complete connected socket solution, at avery price
interesting, inferior to the Elgato Eve for example, which offers
similar features for around fifty euros,
on sale here.
In any case, here is one more accessory that will join our
special home automation and HomeKit file.
