iDevices has announced four new connected home products at CES 2016 featuring Apple’s HomeKit technology, including the iDevices Socket, Wall Switch, Dimmer Switch and Wall Outlet. The home automation accessories can be controlled with Siri and the free iDevices Connected app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

iDevices Socket – By screwing in any standard light bulb into the iDevices Socket, users can control their lights from anywhere using the free iDevices Connected app. The iDevices Socket has dimming functionality and a customizable LED nightlight allowing users to easily set the mood for any occasion by changing the light color and adjusting the brightness. The iDevices Socket will be available for sale in Q1 of 2016.

iDevices Wall Switch and Dimmer Switch – By replacing any standard, single light switch with one of these connected wall switches, users can control their home’s lighting from anywhere using the free iDevices Connected app. Users can choose between the standard on/off Wall Switch or the Dimmer Switch, both available in Q2 of 2016. These products each feature customizable LED nightlights, making it easy to find them in the middle of the night, and support single pole and 3-way switches.

iDevices Wall Outlet – This product brings the intelligence and intuitiveness of the iDevices Switch to a hard-wired version, perfect for those looking to upgrade existing wall outlets in their home. The iDevices Wall Outlet gives users the ability to control, monitor and schedule the power to both outlets individually, using the iDevices Connected app. The iDevices Wall Outlet will be available for sale in Q3 of 2016.



iDevices Connected App – Using the free iDevices Connected app, users can easily add iDevices products to their home network, securely pair them with their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, add them to a room, set dynamic schedules and add custom photos and names. The app also has the unique ability to support HomeKit-enabled products from other manufacturers.

The new HomeKit accessories will be released throughout 2016. Pricing was not disclosed.

iDevices will provide live demos of these new products during CES 2016 at The Sands Expo (#71525).
