This was my first purchase of VOCOlinc products and I am very impressed with the quality and the functionality for the cost for a HomeKit supporting product. So far the FL2201 floor lamp have met my expectations and even surprised me. The floor lamp doesn’t get as bright as other competitors but it is bright enough for adding some ambient lighting. Setup was quick and easy with HomeKit and the VOCOlinc app allows for additional lighting control. One note is you will need to assemble the product but it only requires a few minutes. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is interested in add some additional ambient lighting and looking for HomeKit support.

VOCOlinc RGBIC SmartGlow Wi-Fi LED Strip Lights - LS3

The setup was super easy. I have had it for a few weeks, and not a single issue with the HomeKit connection. The colors are very good.

Bought Humidifier on sale. Wasn’t expecting much for the price paid. They could have charged me double and I would still be happy with my purchase. Quality and ease of use get surpassed my expectations. Connected to my WiFi on first try and it work as fast as my way more expensive HUE lights! Highly Recommended!!!

VOCOlinc PureFlow Smart Air Purifier - VAP1

I started adding smart home devices to Homekit / Google Home about 3 years ago. Until I bought this Purifier, home automation was mostly for fun. I have bad allergies and have a dog, so I was in the market for a decent Hepa Air purifier after my old one just wasn’t big enough for my new house. At first, paying a premium for the Homekit functionality didn’t seem to make sense, but after several months, it’s become the most useful Homekit device I have. This purifier can do a 100 different things, I’ve never had a device like it! It can double as a smoke or gas detector, a hydrometer alert system, a temperature alert system, and of course an air purifier. I live in South Texas in a 100 year old house. My most useful automation is triggering my dehumidifier to turn on when my house starts to get ridiculously humid. It can feel like 80 degrees inside my home even though it’s 71 degrees due to the humidity. This causes a lot of problems while working from home, especially with electricity prices so high during the day. When the PureFlow Purifier detects humidity at an acceptable level it triggers the humidifier (smart plug) to turn off. I know this seems like a simple thing, but now the temperature can be set to 78 degrees during the day and still feel comfortable. We saved a noticeable amount of money immediately. This enabled us to use the eco settings on our thermostat, literally saving us hundreds of dollars during the summer, and it’s great for A/C maintenance too. Homekit also allows me to set schedules and automations so that we don’t go through filters too fast. PureFlow Air Purifier worked so well for us that we added one to our Airbnb that we host, saving us more energy and maintenance costs… with 110 degree heat, A/C costs were killing us. There are a lot of useful and creative automations for personal and Airbnb use. You can set this up with a HomePod, smart lights and/ or a smart phone to alert you when there’s smoke or gas or a elevated amount of allergens in the air.

At our Airbnb, our cleaner accidentally left the gas stove on. I was alerted to the problem within a few hours! (This incident is what prompted me to write this review). If I had a guest walk in our rental and it reeked of gas… that’s an automatic refund and probably a bad review. It’s also good to know I’ll be alerted if a guest accidentally does the same thing. It detects smoke as well, so if a fire breaks out, I’ll know pretty quickly, as would our guests when all our house speakers Beep at full volume and the lights turn red. Another automation we set up for our Airbnb is when it detects temperatures going above 78 degrees in our entertainment room, the blinds close and ceiling fans come on, helping our central AC unit hold lower temperatures longer, also potentially helping us with reviews and energy costs. It’s a great alternative to buying a dedicated Homekit sensor. Oh it’s also a great as a stand alone purifier as well. Both our houses are about 1500 sq feet, with both living spaces being about 650 sq ft. It can quickly get allergens and odors out of our bedrooms and is surprisingly effective in our open concept kitchen and dining area for both properties. It makes our rental and our home just feel much cleaner.

Pureflow Air purifier is perfect for older houses, Airbnb rentals and pet owners. The filters are kind of expensive, but they are high quality and so far have lasted an average of about 6 months. I figure Im saving significantly more in energy costs, so it’s definitely worth the premium for the filters. It also looks pretty cool as far as air purifiers go. The display is pretty easy and clear to read. It’s kind of bulky, but it has to be to purify larger spaces. Only real gripe is I do wish I could control the brightness of the display with Homekit. But no big deal, there is a night mode button on the top. Would be great to schedule the brightness down at night though. I also want to say, it’s one of the more reliable Homekit devices I have. It responds instantly to commands via HomePod and never misses automations. If you’re on the fence because of the higher than average cost, I hope this changed your mind! The features are worth it for people that are getting into Homekit or Google Home, it’s basically 4 useful smart home devices in one package! If you own an Airbnb in South Texas, this is a no brainer. Super underrated product in my opinion!

Works very well with Apple Home. Great for my plants. :-)

The Best Smart Lights Strip on the market!

Ive been buying VOCOlinc products for years and I love them. I have the Flowerbud diffuser, light bulbs, outlets, cameras The quality of the products has also gone way up. I was really surprised with how good this aroma diffuser looks and feels. The plastic feels firm, the led lights are solid, touch panel is great. The connection works without issues. Superb. Thank you VOCOlinc!

This smart bulb works incredibly well. It is unbelievably responsive, and the colors are vibrant.

Note that this was only used with iPhone and Homekit successfully

One thing to beware of with this is if you have a dimmable light and install this it will not work very well. I found that mine would lose connection often and sometimes get stuck.
HOWEVER
If you use this in a standard on off socket, it works exceptionally well!! I have a few of Vocos lights and they all work amazing and this one is no different. We mainly use these for getting into bed because we can shut the lights off without having to get up!

The Linkwise app works very well with this light too and gives some features that are unavailable in the homekit app as of right now such as wakeup mode that will turn the light on gradually in the room to wake you up (I have mine blast on if Im not up by a certain time!)

Overall, this light bulb does exactly what is says it does with a fast and easy pairing process and quick response, I cant imagine buying anything else!!

Chiming to say that these work perfectly with HomeKit. I use a HomePod mini as a hub and have Nest WiFi mesh routers. These smart plugs work great. I've got four so far in my home and they've yet to disconnect/fail after a full year of constant usage. I'd recommend these if you're looking for a reliable/affordable smart plug to use with HomeKit.

Note that, while you can use these without installing any third-party app, you *do* need to have the VOCOlinc app to update the firmware. Updates don't come by often, but I noticed that you cannot do so via the Apple Home app itself; you'll need VOCOlinc's app from the App Store.

Bought these to keep an eye on the dogs when were away. HomeKit integration is great. The only downside, and its not really a downside for me, is you have to use the OEM app to remotely reposition them. Not a big deal for me.

Very cool HomeKit integration. You can ask Siri about air quality, humidity and all shows as a sensor in Home app. The app is also fantastic, offers control of ALL functions (sleep / night mode, current status, ug /m3 of VOCs, timer, etc.)
