a smart plug that works with them is on
0:01
Alexa and apple homekit let's check it
0:04
out Dave Taylor here and I'm looking at
0:13
smart plugs today specifically I'm
0:16
looking at this this is the KU geek
0:18
smart plug p2 now there is also the p1
0:23
and the p1 looks pretty similar but it's
0:25
square not more rounded and it only
0:29
works with apple homekit so less
0:32
so the p2 is much more interesting
0:34
because it works with apple homekit and
0:36
it works with the amazon alexis system
0:40
amazingly it didn't respond so let's
0:45
just go and start it out right so Alexa
0:47
turn on nightlight see that little ring
0:53
Alexa turn off nightlight
0:59
more fun hey Siri turn on party lights
1:10
Alexa turn off party lights
1:17
okay you got to admit that's pretty cool
1:21
it's really really a nice little device
1:23
and I'm gonna just unplug it so you can
1:25
see it's pretty small and the nightlight
1:29
is actually a ring on the outside and
1:31
you can actually adjust the brightness
1:34
or intensity so this can be perfect for
1:36
children because among other things the
1:38
coogy app which you can get on iOS or
1:41
Android lets you schedule so you can
1:44
schedule having it on at 6 p.m. and then
1:47
maybe at 8 p.m. it gets a little bit
1:49
less bright and then at 10 p.m. it just
1:52
shuts off entirely because by that point
1:54
your child is actually asleep and this
1:56
could just be automated every night it
1:58
works that way and you actually have
2:00
control of the nightlight ring separate
2:03
to whatever it is you plug in to this
2:05
device which I think you just saw there
2:07
so it's really easy to work with it does
2:11
involve using a bunch of different apps
2:13
in total including giving specific
2:15
custom names to all the devices on both
2:19
Siri and in the Alexus system then it
2:23
took me maybe five minutes to configure
2:25
it if you wanted to use default names it
2:28
would be faster I like having that but
2:30
it gives me all sorts of neat
2:32
capabilities so like on my iPhone if I
2:35
go into apple homekit and I'll give you
2:38
a screen shot so you see closer but now
2:40
I can see bedroom nightlight and I can
2:43
see party lights so I can tap oops
2:46
guess I should ever plugged in let's try
2:48
that again and it's on and tap and it's
2:51
off that's about as easy as it gets but
2:53
of course the real gem is the whole
2:55
voice control system and that's where
2:57
this is really fun and we have these
2:59
throughout the house so I can do things
3:01
like for example Alexa turn on fairy
3:05
lights and okay those are the lights in
3:10
my daughter's bedroom and she is now
3:12
sitting there saying why did these
3:14
lights come on it's really fun
3:17
now with the coogy cap itself you
3:20
actually have access to your switch from
3:23
anywhere in the world as long as you're
3:24
on your local Wi-Fi network so I could
3:27
actually be at a conference somewhere
3:29
else and say mmm I see suspicious
3:31
characters in my driveway because of my
3:33
driveway cam let me go ahead and turn on
3:35
a light and I can just tap a button on
3:37
my phone and the light would turn on
3:39
even though I might be hundreds of miles
3:42
away that's pretty cool but really what
3:45
I most enjoy about all these smart plugs
3:47
is the fact that I can walk into the
3:49
house and just by talking how things
3:52
start to happen have lights turn on have
3:55
a coffee maker start working whatever it
3:57
is you want to plug in it's really nice
3:59
now one more really cool thing about the
4:01
coogee smart plug P 2 is that it has an
4:05
energy monitor so you can also plug in
4:07
something where you're like I wonder how
4:09
much energy this uses and it will show
4:11
you a monitor over days or weeks so you
4:13
can actually see for example plug in
4:16
your child's television and then you can
4:19
see do they really turn on the TV at
4:21
midnight and watch for a couple hours
4:22
and not only that you could control it
4:25
remotely you could say hey turn off the
4:27
TV and you don't even have to be in the
4:30
when you do that they probably will say
4:33
well I can bypass the smart plug can't I
4:35
dad so that's probably not a great
4:38
strategy but you can use it for energy
4:40
monitoring which I really like now the
4:42
only other thing I want to tell you
4:44
about this is that it actually is 120
4:49
volts and it can work with up to a 15
4:52
amp product and up to 1500 watts so make
4:56
sure you don't put something too
4:58
powerful in this I would not plug this
5:00
into a refrigerator for example because
5:02
that's gonna draw more amps I think so
5:04
for most things maybe a space heater I'd
5:07
also check the specs but for a fan for a
5:10
light for a multi lights system whatever
5:14
it is this should work great imagine
5:17
having all your track lights and as you
5:18
walk in you just say you know hey turn
5:21
on the kitchen lights and they all light
5:23
up really nice so before I tell you the
5:26
price and think you'd be impressed by
5:28
the price let me just tell you that it
5:30
would be fantastic if you would be
5:32
willing to click the subscribe button
5:33
and subscribe to my channel I really
5:36
appreciate that so thank you for
5:38
subscribing and while we're at it let me
5:41
just ask if you can click on that thumbs
5:42
up give me some feedback on this
5:44
cool so only thing left is the price now
5:48
the Coogee smart plug p2 works with
5:52
Amazon Alexa and with apple homekit it
5:55
is $35.99 at amazon.com and if you check
5:59
the cou geek site it might be actually
6:01
less so worth checking out and honestly
6:04
a small investment to make your house
6:06
feel a whole lot smarter so Steve Taylor
6:09
and I'll catch you in my next video
