HomeKit™ (iOS only)

HomeKit is an Apple standard for home control. HomeKit allows you to group together several devices into Homes, Rooms, and Zones.

Zones

Establish Zones — a collection of rooms (e.g. "First Floor")

Scenes

Create Scenes — a collection of on-demand device triggers (e.g. a "Bedtime" Scene can be set to turn ON a Fan and turn OFF a Lamp)

Siri (iOS only)

HomeKit also enables control of your SmartPlug with your voice, using Siri. Here are some examples of how to execute commands successfully. Activate Siri and say:

"Turn ON my Living Room"

This command will turn ON all SmartPlugs assigned to a particular room, in this case, the Living Room.

"Turn OFF my Bedroom Lamp"

This command turns OFF a particular SmartPlug. For example, if you have an accessory named "Lamp" in your Bedroom.

"Set Bedtime Scene"

This command will execute your Bedroom Scene if set up in the Scenes tab of your iHome Control app.

Ways to Use Your SmartPlug

Rules

Create Rules — think of a rule as a schedule or trigger

Nighttime Every day at 5:00 PM

For example, create a rule named "Nighttime." This will turn a floor lamp ON at 5:00 pm and OFF at 11:00 pm. It can be set to repeat every day or for specific days that you choose.

3rd Party Connections

We've already developed several integrations to Nest, Wink and the Amazon Alexa to make your SmartPlug even more useful. For more information, visit the Settings section of your app and click on any of the Third-Party Connections.

Wink	SmartPlug integrates with your Wink app. No hub required!Create Robots and Shortcuts with your other Wink devices.

Amazon Alexa	SmartPlug can be controlled with the Amazon Alexa. Ask Alexa to turn your SmartPlug on or off with your voice.

Notes

All Wi-Fi routers support 2.4GHz spectrum. If your router was deliberately set to only transmit 5GHz, then please note that the SmartPlug will not work properly on your network. Enterprise networks (such as in colleges and businesses) often have more restricted security settings that may impact the performance of your SmartPlug.

2Your SmartPlug supports devices or appliances up to 1800 Watts. Please consult the owner's manual of your device.
