Onvis announced an outdoor smart plug that combines Matter over Thread connectivity, real‑time energy monitoring and IP65 weather resistance. The device works natively with Apple Home when paired with a HomePod, HomePod mini or Apple TV 4K, and also supports Amazon Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings.
The plug monitors power usage and displays consumption in Apple Home’s energy view without a separate app. It is rated for up to 1,800 watts, suitable for landscape lighting, holiday decorations, outdoor fans or pool pumps, and can be scheduled or automated directly in Apple Home. Onvis says the product fills a gap for outdoor plugs that need reliable connectivity beyond Wi‑Fi, using Thread’s mesh network to route traffic between devices.
Available now on Amazon, the plug is positioned as a competitively priced option for users seeking modern smart‑home features without a dedicated hub.
