So just installed my first og two cameras. Image quality is very good, installation guide was easy to read and the installation went perfect with no problems. Other than the WiFi.
The WiFi connection is really bad. All other outdoor smart divices has no problem connecting to my WiFi. I even put up a repeater to help solve the problem - it made it a little better. The camera is laggy, and really slow to respond to commands from the app. Hard to control the movement of the camera.
My old camera had much better WiFi range, and also had to external antennas, dont know if thats why the WiFi range was better on those.
So that is the only bad thing to says, but never the less a big issue for operating the camera.
it is not working verry wel the doorbell is going off-line the whole time.
when its working and i have a visitor who is ringing the bell it takes al lot of time to connect to the doorbell, most of the time the visitor is gone already.

We installed this product in our allotment garden because uninvited guests sometimes come by. This camera takes top shots in 2K day and night. The installation was super easy - and was very well explained step by step in the APP. For the price - can you can't go wrong!
Now using the solar cam for a while. Because of the solar panel the camera doesn't need to be charged, which is very nice! In addition, the camera is easy to pair, the image quality is good and the product looks great!
This is my second solar cam. Good quality image, solid build and heavy battery . I have it pointed at my garden and while most of the day in the shade, even in winter, I was never below 50% power. Good app nice UI, also works with my hombli doorbell cam.
Works perfectly. The camera has now been in use for over 2 weeks. For a short time the battery charge was at 95% due to configurations and intensive use. The battery charge is now back to 100%. I'm curious to see how it behaves in winter.
Several Hombli cameras installed. All easily connected to the Hombli app. In addition, there is a suitable camera for every situation. The compact has a wide viewing angle, sharp image and fits nice into my home.
We’ve got three indoors Hombli plugs and a garden lamp. While my husband protested, which is his thing, that he will definitely always remember to go out and switch the lamp on and off, I just bought this plug and showed him how to program it. The lamp now switches on at sunset and off at 1am. Reliably and always. (I set two events, just in case, five minutes apart, but only once over a few months of use did the first fail to work – and I got a notification telling me it didn’t work, too.) Improved software, very good quality, what’s not to love?
We cannot say that the interface is very sophisticated and very pleasing to the eye but it at least has the merit of being simple and clear. The socket connects easily to wifi and in my case there is no loss of signal while the outlet is outside the house. I use it to control the electricity production of my solar panels that are plugged into it. The flow works in both directions and in my case, where it says consumption, this actually means production but unfortunately we cannot configure and change the name of the meters. I therefore recommend this socket which works very well with self-consumption solar kits. Unlike the one supplied with solar kits, this socket is waterproof and can therefore be used outdoors. I think that the waterproofness of the socket has its limits and I would not risk leaving it in the rain. I will say that this socket resists ambient humidity well outside but I am convinced that it must still be in a sheltered place. In my case, it is outside but it is sheltered under an awning. I will not try the experiment of leaving it plugged in in the rain.The socket is solid and well designed, in addition it is very discreet and very compact.I am very satisfied with this socket which is perfect for my solar electric self-consumption kit and I particularly recommend it for this use. summary,✅️ very compact✅️ very discreet✅️ solid and well designed✅️ perfect for controlling the production of self-consumption solar panels✅️ resistant to ambient humidity✅️ good wifi connection✅️ easy to install✅️ excellent value for moneyThe minuses❌️ not pretty interface at all❌️ non-configurable interface
Nothing to complain about, product conforms to the description. Quick and easy WiFi connection.
Installing the app and establishing a connection is quick and easy. Perfect in conjunction with a plug-in solar system.
The product was shipped quickly and I am very satisfied :-) It's a shame the same thing isn't available with a CH plug.
Does a good job - I can call up my current as well as the daily, monthly and annual output of the balcony PV on a daily basis. Currently 8 Kwh a day is pure joy.......
Solar panel consumption monitoring Complete and easy-to-use application
Very happy with my purchase, exactly what I was looking for, solar panel production monitoring.
Great product which allows you to see the consumption of the connected device, possibility of programming on and off times. Great product
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.
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'm totally thrilled, works as described and highly recommended
Using the smart socket via the TuyaSmart app, which is very popular with me, was problem-free. You just follow the setup steps for a WiFi socket and after 1-2 minutes you have added it to your devices. You can then switch the socket on or off from anywhere and have the power consumption of the connected device measured by the socket itself. It can be so easy to be able to turn off your devices (for me it's a 3D printer) while you're on the go.
Ideal for checking power consumption. Functions well in the Hombli app but also in the Google Home app. In any case, I am satisfied with Hombli products in terms of price and quality. For example, the smart lamps.
This smart WLAN socket makes a high-quality and stable impression! I particularly liked the fact that it is a small, handy socket, and not a large, "clunky" one like many others. This means that you can connect several of them to a power distributor, for example, without having to to cover up the adjacent connections! The socket was quickly integrated into the WLAN and could be put into operation within minutes! There are now numerous apps for smartphones, whether iOS or Android, so everyone can have their own Use favorites. I also think it's nice that you can use it with Alex and Google Assistant, but I haven't tested it yet! Next I would like to try equipping this socket with Tasmota, let's see if that works too! Otherwise, this socket is a “normal” WLAN socket just like any other!
