SMART HOME CONTROL

Today, we are testing another outlet of the brand Priska Mini. A totally different plug from its big sister since it is not a multiplug this time, but a simple model and especially one with very small dimensions.

A plug that is not without evoking another plug that is well known in the smart home environment. Indeed, there are many similarities with the Z-wave Fibaro Wall Plug. Next to each other, it's hard to believe.

A copy and paste in the design, it is true that the Fibaro brand is a reference in home automation, for its technology of course, but also for its small size. Indeed, its size allows it to be connected to a power strip without encroaching on a nearby outlet, and this is a real plus. Of course, the Konyks Priska is also eligible for this rule. This makes it a choice choice for those looking for a Wi-Fi smart socket.

Installation and configuration of the Konyks Priska socket

Now that the presentations are made, let's get to the heart of the matter and move on to the installation of the smart outlet. As with the Polyco we tested a few months ago, the Priska is just as easy to implement.

• Start by plugging the plug into a household electrical outlet.
• Then launch the application available free of charge from Apple or Android application stores.
• Go through the top right corner of the application to add a new device and select Electrical outlets from the list provided. Then press and hold the plug button until it lights up.
• The plug is detected, connected and in progress. Then, all that remains is to give it a name and an assignment document.

The Konyks Priska smart socket and its features

That's it, the plug is now installed. Simple and quick! Now turn the plug on or off from anywhere on your smartphone.

To go further, this smart socket is not only remotely triggered. It can also be programmed with a timer or rulers with recurrence.

Finally, like its big sister, it is not always necessary to take the smartphone out of the pocket to turn your device on or off. Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home voice assistants, it is also possible to simply operate an electrical voice device.

OK google, turn on the TV. Alexa, start the coffee maker!

But Konyks is also about integration with home automation systems. Not directly yes, but using the IFTTT service, compared with Aqara outlet. Thus, the Priska socket can be operated directly by your home automation scenarios. So here is another dimension to give it another dimension. Finally, IFTTT also means interaction with the very many services that are accessible there and therefore borders that are still being pushed back.
