Nooie Smart Plug NSP21 pro

The Nooie Smart Plug NSP21 pro is the 230 V version of Nooie’s Wi-Fi socket. It is rated at 13 A and specified to work between minus 20 and plus 50 degrees Celsius, which makes it usable in a garage or an outbuilding as well as a living room.

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 the same plug as NSP01, NSP11 and NSP21. The difference is the socket standard, not the features. This is the 230 V model, so it is the one for the UK, Europe and Australia depending on the pin pattern.

The NSP01 pro and the NSP11 pro are the other variants. Check the pin layout in the photographs against your own sockets before ordering.

Before you buy

At 13 A this handles most household loads, but check the rating of the appliance rather than assuming. Anything with a heating element deserves a second look.

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