Our new picks this time around are the BN-Link Mini - which comes in a pack of five with a pair of remotes, each offering separate control of all five outlets and the Toveenen Ultra Long Range - which offers 10 times the range of many of its competitors, and is operable from distances of up to 1,000 feet.Īs app-controlled options become more and more prevalent, we still see the value of maintaining this list – for the benefit of technophobes, users who abstain from smartphones, and those equipping properties without Wi-Fi access – but for users who are specifically interested in app control, don’t despair, we still have you covered. Following this same logic, we also removed the Insteon Dual Socket, which was a hardwired model that offered app control via Wi-Fi, but didn’t include a designated remote control.
We also gave some thought to replacing the Etekcity Zap 1FX with its next-generation model – the Etekcity ESO15-TB, which is only slightly more expensive and sheds the simple remote control included with the 1FX in favor of Wi-Fi connectivity – but ultimately decided that, while we like the looks of this new option, it just wasn’t what we were looking for on this specific list, which is focused on units that can be controlled remotely without a Wi-Fi connection or the additional purchase of a hub. One exception was the Goronya Wireless, which we removed after noticing that it wasn’t presently available. It was a fairly smooth round of updates, with almost all of our choices from last year still managing to pull their weight.
