Conclusion.
I really like the Energenie product range, it’s simple to set up and installation is a breeze. Look out for more Energenie MiHome product reviews over the next couple of weeks too. I like this adapter, it’s easy to set and use, there is one annoying point though and it’s an annoying buzzing sound when the adapter is being used. I don’t know what causes it, but it can be annoying! Overall though I do recommend the Adapter Plus to be added onto your Energenie MiHome range and build up a connected home network.
