The ongoing Kickstarter launch of InvisOutlet Aura has already caught the attention of the smart home community, with smart home YouTube channelΒ AppMyHome recently publishing a hands-on review of the device. In the video, Mark from AppMyHome dives into the installation process, Matter compatibility, and standout features that set Aura apart from traditional outlets.
Easy installation and intuitive design
Mark emphasized Auraβs straightforward setup, pointing out the flip-up connectors and pigtail wiring that make swapping an old outlet fast and reliable: βYou just plug your wire in the wall, snap it down, and youβre connected. Itβs so nice and easy to use.β He also noted that the modular cover plate design makes it safe and user-friendly.
Independent outlet control with smart ecosystem support
One of the features that stood out was InvisOutlet Auraβs independent outlet control. Mark highlighted how both the top and bottom outlets can be managed separately, whether through Intecularβs app or leading smart home platforms:Β βYou can control the top or the bottom independently, and you can control it with their app, with Homey Pro, Apple HomeKit, or other Matter hubs. It actually works with Home Assistant as well.βΒ This flexibility means homeowners can integrate InvisOutlet Aura seamlessly into existing ecosystems without compromising compatibility.
Ambient lighting that goes beyond utility
Perhaps the most eye-catching feature of InvisOutlet Aura is its built-in RGB lighting. Mark demonstrated how the customizable nightlight adds both utility and ambiance:Β βThis is an adjustable color nightlight-you can make it any color you want. So instead of just a boring nightlight, you can spiff it up with a little bit of color.β This fusion of function and mood lighting makes Aura a unique entry point for homeowners looking to modernize their spaces.
A strong endorsement ahead of launch
AppMyHomeβs review underscores Auraβs dual identity as both a practical power solution and a lifestyle upgrade. With its Matter compatibility, modular design, and customizable lighting, InvisOutlet Aura is positioned to be a game-changer in the smart home market.
As Mark concluded, the Aura is a βreally nice two-outlet, 15-amp, controllable top and bottom, easy to installβ device that not only powers your home but also transforms it with light.
