Elgato Eve Energy vs Koogeek Smart Plug

You can easily view how much energy the plugged in device is using (in watts), however the app doesn't show the costs of the power (you can figure this out yourself, but it would have been nice to be included).

HomeKit is created by Apple, and uses Siri to control the smart devices connected with HomeKit. It also allows for grouping devices so that a single command can trigger different devices to do different things.

Setup is as easy as downloading the Eve app, add the device, type in a code (or scan it automatically), and tell it where it is located (easier to control down the road).

The Eve Energy supports a useful scheduling function. Once set up, the lights will turn themselves on and off automatically based on your preferences.

The scheduling feature is easy to use - select a time to turn on, and a time to turn off. You can repeat this schedule (called a 'rule' within the app) daily, or weekly.

There is also a built-in timer, which can be useful when you only need the lights on for a few minutes during an irregular time.

HomeKit is created by Apple, and provides easy control through Siri. Devices can be grouped together, and multiple devices can be activated at once with a single action (if you set up the proper scenes).

The app is designed to look sleek, and give quick access to commonly used actions. Finding a specific device can be a hassle if you have many HomeKit devices connected in the same room as the lists scroll vertically, but this won't be an issue for the vast majority of users.

This smart plug will show you energy stats, which can be used to help determine the best way to slash energy costs. It does this in real-time in the app, as well as over time through a graph.
