Review on 🏑 Sylvania Smart HomeKit Control: Enhancing Home Automation Effortlessly by Zaine Davis

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terribly cumbersome for the user

Terrible Terrible Terrible. First, it's useless because it's Bluetooth and not Wi-Fi, meaning you can only access it remotely when you're not home if you set it up via HomeKit with an AppleTV as a hub, which works 10 times . There is no way to restart the device, the instructions say to turn it off and on 5 times and this will help, it isn't. On the internet they said hold the button and everything will work out, it's not. I connected it to my HomeKit once and it only worked when I used the HomeKit app to control it. I wanted it to start other devices automatically and it didn't work. I tried connecting it through the Sylvania app which is even worse than the product itself. Deleted everything according to "instructions" and after that Apple HomeKit could never find it again to connect as a new device. This glorified remote switch is three times the price you could get anywhere else. Came back after 20 minutes.

Pros
  • Siri Voice Control: Ask Siri to turn the socket on and off.
Cons
  • Other Other
