The most authoritative Apple site, Macitynet, has dedicated a long and detailed article to WiOO, based on a field test that lasted for months. The author, Settimio Perlini, decided to install WiOO in his home, allowing him to experience and report on all its qualities and functionalities. He also pointed out some details he liked less, and that’s a good thing because only honest reviews truly matter. The overall conclusion, however, is extremely positive.
Here are the “pros” highlighted by Macitynet:
- Adds versatility and communication capabilities to HomeKit, which cannot be reached with standard switches, increasing privacy and avoiding the need for voice control.
- Excellent integration capabilities with other civil series and accessories, both traditional and smart.
- Software is very easy to configure, with diagnostics and wizards that reveal great attention to product quality.
- Powered by the standard electrical line, no batteries to replace.
- Can control air conditioning/heating and door opening via HomeKit.
Since it’s by far the most complete independent review so far, we encourage you to read it. You can find it here.
