Hombli Smart Socket EU

Trotz völlig demolierter Produktpackung lehnt Hombli eine Rücknahme respektive ein Ersatz der Ware ab. Dass die Gewalteinwirkung auf das Paket die sensible Elektronik beschädigt haben könnte und die Sicherheit des Elektrosteckers damit nicht mehr gewährleistet ist, ist Hombli egal.

Ik ben erg blij met mijn slimme stekkers (6 stuks). Ze zijn eenvoudig te installeren en via de app heb je alles overzichtelijk bij elkaar. Het aan- en uitzetten via de app is erg handig, en het is ook mogelijk om een schema in te stellen.

Het ontwerp is strak en past mooi binnen het interieur. Wel jammer dat de stekkers relatief ver van de muur afkomen.

Vraag: Zijn er slimme inbouw stopcontacten in ontwikkeling bij Hombli? Dat zou wat mij betreft de mooiste oplossing zijn in plaats van de losse slimme stekkers.

This socket has an up and down, why? Well, on the one hand, I think it's very good that the socket is very narrow and small. Even big, well-known manufacturers can't manage it or don't want to manage it. That's definitely a positive thing to mention. As far as this is concerned, the description is a little misleading, it's in there that you can use the socket with Siri, which isn't fundamentally wrong, but as a layman I understand it to mean that I can integrate it, unfortunately that's not the case because you can only control Siri via a shortcut, which is absolutely stupid the case. And then for just under €25, other manufacturers are able to integrate Siri. What's nice about this variant is that you can read the power consumption, which I think is very good, but everyone has to decide for themselves or if they want to use Siri then it only works via shortcut. Otherwise, in terms of price performance, there are honestly better ones.

The smart socket works as it should. We also integrated it with our Alexa and there were no problems here. The setup actually went quite well - if you've already dealt with such sockets a few times, it's no problem. Everything's great!

The plug is extremely easy to set up and ready to use. You either use the button on the side to turn the can on or off or you connect the device to the app and can then control it via smartphone or with the appropriate skill with Alexa. I have currently set up the version with Alexa and am very satisfied. The can switches quickly. However, it is quite long and clearly audible when switching gears. That's why it's not quite worth 5 stars in my opinion. If you're looking for a simple socket to switch your devices on or off with Alexa, this is the right place for you. Download the app and set it up (it's all in the instructions) - and you're ready to go. I think it's great.

I set up a new office in the basement. The window and a large Kallax are backlit with LED strips (which are controlled via Alexa). I found great LED lighting for my pin board, but unfortunately without a control unit for voice commands and Alexa. No problem, that's exactly what smart sockets like this one are for. The Hombli socket is small and doesn't take up much space on the power strip. I simply plugged it in between and after switching it on, the blue LED on the power button flashed quickly. Lt. With German-language instructions, it is now ready to be integrated into the home network. I have the “Smart Life” app on my iPhone for almost all WiFi devices made in China. Simply go to automatic search and the socket is found and added to my list for Alexa. Now a tip: - Change the name in the Alexa app to a much simpler term. Because nobody wants to call “Hombli Smart Socket” on/off several times a day ;) For me, for example. It's called "K3" for short. I also created a routine in the Alexa app and bundled all 3 lights. Conclusion: 5 stars

The WiFi socket from hombli is one of the products that can be installed with ease and you don't have the pressure of having to use the manufacturer's own app. Even if this is unfortunately provided for in the English instructions. I'm tired of having to use manufacturer-specific apps for standard devices, data is collected everywhere where it doesn't have to be. I've been using the Smart Life app for quite some time, where there is no registration requirement. All standard devices can be integrated here with very few exceptions. Installation took place within a minute. The socket has an energy measuring function and can otherwise be switched on and off using the button on the socket. And even though I had the socket installed without any problems, others may have a harder time because they have to read the instructions first. And it should be in the buyer's local language in the packaging and not on the product page on Amazon. However, this socket only came with a German-language safety notice and EC declaration of conformity. The actual instructions were entirely in English, which deducts one star.

The Hombli Smart socket for 220-250V/50Hz 16A is fully insulated and has a CE mark. This smart socket (smart socket) can be integrated and operated in Tuya and the Smart Life app. Measuring data on consumption is displayed and summed up. I made a few screenshots of my iPhone to show how the socket is displayed in the app (Smart Life). Setting up goes without any problems and if you use the Alexa app after setting it up updated, the socket is also displayed straight away and can be operated by voice. What I like is the button on the socket for manual switching and starting the setup, as well as the quite slim design of the socket. Unfortunately, the price/performance ratio is still poor Can be optimized therefore there are 4 stars

I already use various smart WiFi sockets and find this type to be extremely practical. Today I'm trying out the "Hombli Smart Socket" for just under 24 euros.First contactI receive a colorfully printed box. Unpacking is a bit fiddly due to the exact fit of the can. Next to the can there is a small quick start guide in the pack. All cardboard, I like that! The can appears to be of high quality and is cleanly crafted in all areas. The power switch is easy to reach and press and, depending on the operating status, is red or blue or dark. The Humbli has a CE marking and, according to the label, is protection class II, which means that it should be at least double insulated everywhere. Since the can is glued, I have to believe it. The house pictogram is also printed on it, so the can can only be used indoors.Hombli AppIn the product description I read that the Hombli has its own app and was developed in the Netherlands. The Chinese IoT platform Tuya is behind the Hombli app. Hombli states that it must comply with the GDPR and only pass on data anonymously. No matter how, the operation only works when there is an online connection and after registration. Once the registration is complete you can integrate the can. To do this, Hombli must know your 2.4 Ghz WiFi password. 5Ghz WiFi is not supported. The integration then takes place almost automatically and is explained step by step in German in the app. Anyone who still has “Smart Life cans” might be interested to know that these are usually. can be moved to Hombli without any problems. Sure, Smart-Life is the “White Label” from Tuya and that is the cloud behind Hombli.Smart Life AppAlthough Hombli is optimized for Tuya, it can also be operated with “Smart Life”. However, I had to repeat the pairing process and manually pair the can with the Smart Life Cloud. Once paired, the Hombli is like all other VRC sockets with energy measurement and can be used just as easily. Conclusion The Hombli Smart socket makes a solid impression and is at the top of the WiFi sockets in terms of price. Compared to the cheaper models, it benefits from the manufacturer's promise of compliance with the GDPR. Integration into your own app is easy and explained in German (!). Operation and programming are intuitive. Buy recommendation.

This smart socket from “Hombli” is intended for the normal 220-250 volt power network. This socket can be remotely controlled via WiFi in the home area and is versatile. Various programs can be run with the Tuya app. It is possible to turn this WiFi socket into a timer using this app. In this app, a consumer's electricity consumption can be read and analyzed and saved over a longer period of time. It is also compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Home & Siri and the popular Tuya app, which enables linking to control with the aforementioned programs. Of course, remote control can also be done using the free Hombli app. If this socket is properly connected to Alexa, it can also be switched with simple voice control. Of course, there is also an emergency switch on the socket to switch it on or off manually in the event of a WiFi failure. With a Fritz Box, however, it is again necessary to release the IP of the WLAN socket for the Internet before pairing with the cell phone and the Tuya app. If this is not done first, this app will probably not establish a connection to the socket. A connection is only possible in the normal 2.4 GHz network. After the first test I can say that the connection is stable, remote control via cell phone is OK and a useful function is the integrated voltage monitoring and the evaluation of consumption. Well, the price is not entirely without cost, there are also cheaper ones, but everyone can test for themselves whether they can maintain a stable connection and do not cause failures. All I can say is that the quality and stability are right and that is an important purchasing decision when it comes to WiFi sockets.

I like that as well as this being a smart plug it does have and on/off button on the size. Its quite a neat unit, just a bit larger than a standard plug and feels quite solid.The plug requires the 'Hombli' app in order to set it up/access smart features and once I'd set that up then I was able to add this skill to Alexa and manage it through that. Its worked reliably since first set up.

This smart plug by Hombli is great. The plug works via its own app (which you can enable as a skill on your alexa/google assistamt or just use the Hombli app if you don't have one.) I use mine for my kettle and for my lamps. You can also use it in automated routines and timer settings e.g. alarm goes off and the kettle boils. The plug is easy to set up and simple to use. It is a nice compact size and has good switchability. Im very pleased with this well made, good value, durable smart plug.

This Hombli smart plug was easy to set up and works with Alexa.I ordered this plug to control the socket our printer is plugged into. As we use the printer less and less nowadays it doesn't need to be switched on all the time but where it is plugged in is hard to reach to turn on and off. This plug has meant i can ask Alexa to "turn on printer" from anywhere in the house and then the printer is ready to turn on.The plug was easy to set up through the Hombli app and just as easy to set up on the Alexa app. The plug does have a small red light on when turned on but we cant see it from where its plugged in so not an issue for us.

I love smart plugs and having a 'smart' home - and these plugs are perfect for attaching into hard to reach places so you only ever need to bend over / reach behind furniture once. Since installing the connection has been rock solid - it turns on every time without fail and without needing to be asked twice.The Hombli app was easy to setup (if not a little basic) and then I never used it again, instead preferring to add the plug into my Alexa app via the Hombli 'skill' that can be found through the Alexa store. Once setup was complete, it just adds the plug into your Alexa home, allowing it to be turned off via there, or through voice commands like normal.The energy monitoring aspect can only be accessed through the Hombli app, which is a shame but it is easy to find. It's just added information which can be useful if you're trying to identify a power hungry applicance or if you're trying to apportion costs to a housemate. A red LED comes on when the plug is on which is something to note if you want it on whilst sleeping.A really versatile plug that I highly recommend, although cheaper alternatives can be had if you do not need the energy monitoring.

This smart plug is a game-changer for my lazy evenings. No more getting up to switch off the lights! The app is easy to use and the energy monitoring is a nice bonus. Just be sure you're on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.

The socket comes in a compact cardboard box with plastic tamper proof seal. Inside the box is the socket itself, a quick start leaflet and a safety leaflet.The plug is very compact which I appreciate with the shortage of space I face. It has a button on the side to manually turn it on and off, as well as a very small status LED. This LED is small enough not to be a distraction in the dark. It is blue when setting up the connectivity to the plug, then either off or red when the socket is off or on.Setting up the plug went smoothly using the Hombli app. I then linked it to Alexa using the Hombli skill. The socket works as expected.This socket goes beyond straight on and off operation. There is scheduling available within the app, although this can also be done through Alexa. Unusually the socket also monitors voltage, current and power and tracks power over time.Although the socket seems relatively expensive compared to the competition, the additional functionality justifies this. Buying multi packs, also reduces the price significantly.Highly recommended.
