iDevices Switch stumbles off the blocks

2015-10-05
today I'm looking at the new iDevices switch which is open for pre-order on the I devices website for $59.99 this is a smart plug and as you can see it has a nice sleek look to it for anybody who's familiar with Apple products this will feel very comfortable that's not a coincidence I devices as a home kit partner with Apple that does mean that this is an iOS exclusive device and an iOS exclusive app as a smart plug the I devices switch is pretty middle-of-the-road it does what it's supposed to do it turns things on and off it has a cool customizable nightlight but there's no if compatibility there's no energy consumption tracking the home kick compatible iDevices app is one of the coolest aspects of this but it's also one of its biggest drawbacks plus you can't control the switches from outside the Wi-Fi network which means that the command combinations called scenes that you program ahead of time can't execute if you're not on the property although this home kick compatible device could be a solid product in six months I can't really recommend it except for early adopters of the home kit system or anybody who's willing to troubleshoot or just plain overlook some major problems be sure to read the full review at cnet.com for Cena I'm David Freese
