                  iDevices' new Switch ($59) was one of the first HomeKit accessories we encountered earlier this year at CES, a connected outlet that allows you to control a standard 120V appliance such as a lamp or fan from your iPhone, with the added twist of integrating with Apple's new HomeKit ecosystem, thus providing Siri voice control and unified control of other HomeKit accessories, regardless of manufacturer. As with other HomeKit solutions we've looked at, iDevices provides its own app for setting up and controlling the Switch — although like other HomeKit solutions we've looked at, any HomeKit app capable of controlling outlets can be used with Switch — and adds in a couple of other useful features that take it a notch beyond a simple power outlet.{/exp:char_limit}
