Overview

Energenie is carving a fantastic path in the smart home market and has been for some time now. They’ve got a robust range of products that add practical solutions for those seeking home automation. While their technology is not the most complex, it doesn’t have to be. Their products get the job done very well. Not only are they competitive regarding application, but they’re also incredibly well priced. Price is a key point for any consumer, and with Energenie switches barely costing more than some conventional switches, they’re even appealing to those doing a new build, not just an upgrade.

Great tech at even better prices

The overall build quality of these products is fantastic. From the power adaptors to their radiator values, they all feel free robust and durable. They’re also quite natural concerning design. I doubt few, if any, people would see them in your house and think “oh, they don’t look normal.” I think that’s key; home automation tech is great when it blends in.

IFTTT and Alexa Support!

Energenie works well when it comes to integration with other smart devices. They pair up with Amazon’s Alexa without any trouble. However, the addition of IFTTT support is what seals the deal. Being able to create schedules, timers, and other triggers for your devices is what makes smart home tech so amazing. While flicking a few switches on and off may not seem exciting to some, it can have real word perks. Difficult to reach plug sockets, needing to conserve electricity, remotely trigger a device, turn your lamps on and off while away from home. There’s a lot that can be done, and you’ll have fun thinking up new solutions.

Pros

  • Very easy to install
  • Alexa support
  • IFTTT support
  • Easy to use mobile application
  • Durable build quality
  • Competitive prices

Cons

  • None

“If you’re looking to expand your MiHome range, or get started with smart home technology, Energenie have a lot to offer. Great products, easy to install and use, and very competitive prices make them a worthy addition to your home.”

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
