Devolo Home Control Starter Kit - Smart Home for all white (tool)

Customer Review

I already have a D-LAN of Devolo and where the installation of a monitoring system of the same suppliers offered, then I have to lay a LAN cable but can use the existing household power supply for setting up and using the Control Sets. Also, I'm so very flexible, because I do not in any room have LAN ports, but but sockets! The control unit can be installed quite favorable reception.

Bundled Devolo Control unit incl. LAN cable, the door / window sensor and a switch socket. The door / window sensor you can fix it with the enclosed screws or even with Klebepad`s.

Commissioning in my existing D-LAN-650 did not work on the simple "Home key function" Unfortunately, I then entered the S-ID of the home control unit in the cockpit of the existing software D-LAN. Now the home control unit appeared as a new device.
Here now is subsequently register with Devolo with the usual user accounts system. This information shall be payable to the person and the place of residence. You get an e-mail sent and closes about the registration process from. Subsequently, the manufacturer will automatically detect its own home control via the Internet, and suggests the correct SN number of the device in the browser window. Now you will be prompted through the browser to push directly on the device, the check mark button and it will be a backup internet Devolo performed. The whole process takes a few minutes.

After that you can add on the browser page or through the "My devolo App" All other sensors (socket, door sensor) of the plant and time controls, and more rules. configure. Here you will occasionally supported by video and then it works quite well. The best I managed the entire Config via the browser, especially in the timing and other news / rule entries.
The browser still occasionally responds very slowly, especially in the establishment of various time controls is particularly on time graph (times on / off) I noticed. The app itself seems to me in this respect and in general to have been converted into rudimentary and in need of improvement in terms of usability. For basic controls and simple on-off operations but this is sufficient.

It took about 2 hours for all the furnishings of the starter set. My system now switches in the living room between 19-23 clock on the switch socket a lamp automatically turns on and the door sensor tells me reliably every open or tilt the door and sends me an email with the appropriate alarm notice. The socket can also turn purely manually via mobile phone.

It must be clear to everyone here that as with many other alarm solutions, much here is transmitted through the cloud to the manufacturer server. If the Internet, no matter where (eg even with Devolo) is, sometimes interrupted, all external monitoring options are gone. Furthermore, devolo has also access to the equipment of the house plant.

Advantage of the proprietary solution is the fairly simple installation of additional sensors of the same manufacturer (it's just everything matched) and zero configuration, global Internet access. But if you give all the personal data in the account correctly, could in the event of any data theft or unauthorized obtain the password "everyone" see where you live and where which sensors are installed and this even on / off. Stop is always a bit tricky. If that's too scary, the need a more professional or "non-manufacturer-cloud" - to buy equipment in which one can be possibly only create its own wireless or via the router and its own port clearances worldwide access for themselves.

Conclusion:
The "Devolo Control Set" makes sure sense for those who want to build an initially favorable or "light" and closed monitoring system equipment in the apartment / house. You can build up gradually the control or protection via nachzukaufende sensors, it then goes quickly in`s money. The offered services include window and door sensors, motion detectors, switching sockets, smoke detectors and thermostats. The system is therefore already relatively round. Note should be the limited range of the sensors to the base, with larger property it could quickly lead to reception problems.
The above restrictions should therefore find some consideration in the selection. The browser control and the App Usability I think could be improved.
If initially only certain areas are controlled / secured that may be possibly entered not, very rarely or only by certain people (basement, attic, hobby room, garage or in the holiday season ...) can be the 'Devolo-Control " certainly give some recommendation as an approach to alarm detection system. Rather I see it but as pure Informationsmitteilungs- or switching station. Because whether somewhere or windows or doors are open, this can certainly help the plant a good and pleasant it is but also when you come back from vacation and during the return journey, if necessary, even the heater can be powered up via Internet ;-).

Price / quality 3.5 stars (not bad - good).
