Nooie Smart Plug NSP01 pro

The Nooie Smart Plug NSP01 pro is a Wi-Fi socket that works with Apple Home without a hub.

What works in Apple Home

• Switch whatever is plugged in on and off.
• Use the socket in scenes and automations, and control it with Siri.

Schedules, countdowns, loop timers that cycle a device on and off, and an away mode that switches lights at irregular times all run in the Nooie app.

Connectivity

The plug joins your Wi-Fi directly, so there is no hub. It uses 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only, with Bluetooth for setup. A 5 GHz-only network will not work, and on a combined network you may need to separate the bands to get it paired.

Which model to buy

Nooie sells this plug as three model numbers, NSP01, NSP11 and NSP21, and the difference between them is the socket standard rather than the features. Buy the one that matches the sockets on your wall, because a plug for the wrong country is useless whatever its specification.

The NSP21 pro is the 230 V version rated at 13 A. The NSP11 pro is the third variant.

Before you buy

Check the load. A smart plug’s rating is the ceiling for whatever you connect, and a heater or a kettle will exceed a plug meant for lamps.

Check the physical size too. A chunky plug body can block the second socket in a double outlet, which is a common annoyance and rarely mentioned on the box.

As with any Apple Home accessory, remote access and automations need a home hub in the house: a HomePod or an Apple TV.
