In the Summer of 2016 we released the all new WIFIPLUG POWER app for use with WIFIPLUG MINI and WIFIPLUG POWER. The new app brought a brand new GUI, feature expansions and more stability.

As we move closer to the end of 2016, we are proud to announce that the WIFIPLUG V.1 app, the WIFIPLUG2 app, the WIFIPLUG GLASS + app as well as the WIFIPLUG POWER app will be replaced with 1 singular app that will control any and all of your WIFIPLUG products!

Note: Update will not work with WIFIPLUG GLASS (V.1)

As always it’s great to meet new and exisiting customers whenever we attend an exhibition and we’ve been very lucky to see many of you at the various exhibitions we’ve attended.

Don’t worry! We’ll be back next year so if you didn’t get chance to come say Hi this year, you’ll still be able to come see us next year!

Like thousands of you that have pre-ordered WIFIPLUG HOME, we’re excited about what will be the World’s smallest Apple® HomeKit™ enabled smart plug with a smart energy meter, setup over WiFi that can be controlled and monitored from anywhere in the World!

​
​CUSTOMER NOTICE

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

​WIFIPLUG is launching a new app that will stop you having to use multiple apps to control all your WIFIPLUG products – FINALLY!

WIFIPLUG 1, WIFIPLUG 2, WIFIPLUG MINI, WIFIPLUG POWER, and the brand new WIFIPLUG HOME will all be controlled from the spanking new app – WIFIPLUG

“Wait, why do I care?” Well we are removing WIFIPLUG1 WIFIPLUG2 WIFIPLUG GLASS and WIFIUPLUG POWER from all app stores, so you really need to get on board otherwise you will be left behind on outdated versions.

The New App will have IFTTT & ALEXA ready to go- so if you have older plugs then today is your lucky day!

​WIFIPLUG1 & 2 customers must upgrade to the WIFIPLUG POWER app for an easy transition
​

WIFIPLUG wants to give a big shout out and thank you to everyone who came to say Hi at our recent exhibitions in Birmingham, Harrogate and London! We had a great time and we hope you did too!

All the best,

After almost 5 months of field trials with the new WIFIPLUG firmware on some select plugs, we are now confident that the new update is ready and is rolling out to a WIFIPLUG near you now!

We were fully aware of the issues some of you were having and we would like to thank you greatly for being patient with us while we got this sorted.

As of right now, the new firmware update is rolling out to every WIFIPLUG and it contains some pretty exciting features:

Automatic reboot: In the event that your WIFIPLUG goes offline, the WIFIPLUG will reboot itself and reconnet back to the app without you even noticing it had gone in the first place!

Stability increase: We have heard that it does sometimes take quite a few seconds for the WIFIPLUG to respond to the action of switching it on remotely so we have managed to increase the stability of the plug to make it faster and therefore better!

WIFIPLUG resurrection: The new firmware update doesn’t just fix performance bugs and increase stability but it has also managed to bring previously deemed faulty plugs back to life and working order!

That’s not all, the new firmware update is optimised ready for the brand new WIFIPLUG POWER app so that your WIFIPLUG’s and the new app will work hand-in-hand.

To apply the new update, make sure that the plug is currently online in the WIFIPLUG POWER app and currently transmitting power through it. Once this has done press the plug icon (blue or green by default) to the left of the plug in the app and simply press “Update Firmware”. The process usually takes around 1-2 minutes and the plug will click and restart once it has successfully completed. Your plugs will automatically reconnect as soon as possible and will now be running the new and updated WIFIPLUG firmware.

WARNING: New firmware update not compatible with WIFIPLUG2, works only with WIFIPLUG POWER and WIFIPLUG MINI.

As always, we thank you greatly for your support, feedback and any suggestions, improvements or even general ideas are always appreciated!

Speak soon,

Lewis

GLASS by WIFIPLUG – The world’s coolest smart light switch. But what can it be used for?

​We know that having a touch sensitive light switch is fancy enough but you’re going deeper into the realm of Tony Stark’s toy cupboard when you add wireless control functionality to it. But even then, you might still be wondering what the GLASS can actually be useful for, and the answer is: whatever you desire!

Take a look at some of the practical uses for the GLASS and make your next smart purchase a GLASS purchase.

Security: Leaving your house unattended at night? Worried about being burgled while you’re away? The GLASS has you covered! Create up to 99 timers with the GLASS so that you can have your overhead lights switch on or off at intervals through the night so that the common thief will think twice and look elsewhere. And with IFTTT functionality coming soon, setup your GLASS with other smart home appliances to keep your house and your belongings safe!

By the way, did you know that 1 Million household burglaries were reported in 2015, with over 50% of them being opportunistic thieves. Eliminate the possibility of this happening to you with the GLASS wifi light switch!

Convenience: Having a lazy day? Feeling ill? With the GLASS you can carry on your lazy day or keep up the recovery without having to get up to go to the switch. Simply load the GLASS app up on your smartphone or tablet and with the click of a button, voila, you can alter the state of your overhead lights just like that!

Style: If you’re the tech savvy person that has all the latest and greatest gadgets and gizmo’s  that all work together to make your home look as if you live in Google’s headquarters then the GLASS is right up your alley. With its unique, simple yet effective design you’ll stand out from the crowd with your new touch sensitive light switches. Then astonish your friends and family when you take it even further and switch your lights on when you’re nowhere near the switch!

These are just some of the endless possibilities of the GLASS. Make it yours with the link below!
