Hombli Smart Socket Promo Pack 2+1

It works perfectly 100% of the time! I currently only have lightbulbs and smart sockets, and while the lightbulbs regularly have connection issues, the smart socket immediately responds and setup was super easy too! Thank you Hombli!

heb hem gekocht gelijk werkend gemaakt werkt perfect echt een aanrader

I was looking for a socket like this. Setting it up was a bit difficult as the WiFi network has to be 2.4GHz, but once it's plugged in and connected to Alexa, the socket is just fun. The additional 2 on/off switches on the sides are hardly noticeable.

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 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.
