Review on Eton ARC Blackout Buddy Charge Emergency LED Flashlight, Blackout Alert, Nightlight & Phone Charger, Blackout Buddy Charge Single (RCBB300W-SNG) by Carlos Reyes

Had high hopes for a HomeKit compatible sensor but it's completely unreliable for the purpose. Even though I switched my WiFi to 2.4GHz, the device never connected; more than half the time, tried more than a dozen times, after reading the code of the accessory, the iOS Home App could not find it. The Eton apps are also useless as they require registration and cannot detect the prior authorization created on the Etón website. During the initial loading time, the Blackout Buddy got too hot to touch, so hot I was afraid it might catch fire - luckily. That didn't happen. This is the worst supposedly HomeKit compatible device I've tried because I repeatedly can't even add it to HomeKit. So far my attempts to get support from Eton under their one year product warranty have been unsuccessful. So not only is the product flawed as a HomeKit device, it's also not endorsed by the company that makes it. Don't waste your money on this product unless you need an overpriced night light. who makes it. Don't waste your money on this product unless you need an overpriced night light. who makes it.
