I had used it off and on for a bit and it seemed to work fine, but I had a problem with it about a week or two ago after having owned it for 9 months. I was not able to maintain a connection for more than 20 minutes at a time. I figured I had nothing to lose by contacting support and to my surprise they offered to RMA the product. I did some more experimenting and realized there might have been additional interference in the room. I rearranged some things and it started staying connected again. I feel the unit is great, but the customer service is excellent. I would gladly purchase from this company again.As far as the unit goes I found the app pretty easy to use although with IOS 10 you can now use the home app to pair it if you prefer. I have a lamp currently plugged into this and use siri to turn it on when needed. I think that is a pretty cool feature. My only hope is that a more affordable version of this outlet becomes available so I could add more units throughout my house. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Good product but the app is lacking. *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2016* I initially had terrible connectivity issues and had to reset the device every couple of days. Connect sense released a firmware update on 1/13/16 that seems to have solved all the issues I initially had. Now the device works well. I just wish that the two outlets would show up separately in home kit apps outside of the ConnectSense app. The app is somewhat unstable and I wish it offered a widget for controlling the devices. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Great when it works, but too many reliability/connection issues *by T***Q on Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2015* Like other reviewers have stated, this outlet is amazing when it works, but it does not hold a reliable connection. I bought this as a Christmas present for my non-tech savvy parents to replace a couple of their out-dated plugin timers. Before giving it to them, I decided to test it out over about 1 week to make sure it was easy enough for them to use. After a week of usage, I found that I could only control the outlet through the app half of the time. Resetting the outlet would fix the issue, but you shouldn't have to reset something every 1-2 days. Yes, you can control this outlet while away from home as long as you have an Apple TV (3rd gen or later) in your home, which is one of this outlet's biggest appeals. It's fantastic to be able to turn lamps on and off using your phone away from home, but that's if it's working. This outlet and its app have too many bugs the company hasn't worked out yet.Aside from not holding a reliable connection, the app keeps prompting me with a firmware update for the outlet, but after the "updating firmware..." box disappears, the app keeps saying that there is a pending firmware update (I'm on firmware version 2.0.1). The issue is present on both my iPhone and iPad apps. I have reset the outlet multiple times throughout the week, but the issue keeps occurring. I have also searched everywhere online to find what is the most current firmware version, but the only thing I have seen is one reviewer stating that the ConnectSense team told him that an update is "coming shortly" to fix the connection issues. I wish they would update their company's website to let customers know what the latest firmware version is because I have no idea if my outlet is up-to-date or not.An $80 outlet is a bit pricey to have the convenience of controlling a couple of lamps while away from home. It would be worth it to me if this outlet worked even 80-90% of the time. Unfortunately it works about 50% of the time so I am considering returning it to save my parents from the headaches if an update does not fix the issue within the next week.EDIT (1/6/16): No real answers from the company as to when the fix will be released. Like another reviewer said, this product should have stayed in beta before releasing at a premium price. I returned the two outlets that I bought for my parents as they just didn't work. I bought a Wink Hub and 2 Lutron Caseta lamp dimmers instead. Glad to report that I have had zero reliability issues with controlling my lights from home or remotely. My only complaint about Wink is that there is a 2-3 second delay for the light to turn on when using the Wink app. The Connectsense was instantaneous when I used it, but since it couldn't hold a connection most of the time I'll take the slight delay with Wink over the reliability issues of ConnectSense.Another thing to note, the Wink app is not HomeKit compatible, meaning you can't use Siri to control things. One thing I do like better about the Wink app is that you can add widgets to control things through the drop-down notification menu on your phone. The ConnectSense app does not have this feature. For all practical purposes, it's much faster to use swipe down on your phone's screen and tap a widget than to unlock your phone, say "Hey Siri", wait for Siri to activate, and then tell her to turn the lights on. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/21320998-smart-outlet-with-apple-homekit-technology](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/21320998-smart-outlet-with-apple-homekit-technology) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
