## What is APC Home?

The APC Home mobile application allows you to add, configure, monitor and control your APC by Schneider Electric smart surge protectors from anywhere in the world. By plugging your equipment into an APC smart surge protector, you not only protect them from power damage but make them smart with remote control from your APC Home App. You can give easy to identify names to your smart outlets and smart USB charging ports for remote control. You can also turn on and off the Smart Outlet LEDs from the mobile App to suit the environment your Surge protector is in.

The set-up is simple; once you connect your APC smart surge protector to your home Wi-Fi and to your APC Home mobile app, simply plug your desired devices into the smart outlets or smart USB ports and you have instant remote control.

You can easily create schedules to turn on and off your protected devices automatically to suit your own schedule. Additionally, you can create groups across multiple outlets or surge protectors for simultaneous on / off control of multiple devices. 

Stay tuned for updates to the APC Home App as we add support for new features and upcoming hardware in the APC smart power protection family.

### 1/5 — App Is Junk

*2022-12-29, version 1.0.2*

Terrible.  No longer works-Sad because it’s a great power strip.  APC should enter the year 2023.

### 2/5 — Not so Smart Outlet

*2022-06-21, version 1.0.2*

When it’s connected and working it works great. But mine has lost connection at least 2-4 times a year for the last 4 years I’ve owned it. Which does not sound like a big deal, until you realize I have it connected to my aquarium! Now I have to reset all the outlet schedules, and reconnect it to the wi-fi, and hope it has not been off too long to affect anything vital in the tank. I loved the size of this device and the programmable individual outlets, I’ve gotten some Kasa devices. MUCH more reliable as far as not loosing internet connection. AND I can change any of my device settings from anywhere, the APC is local control only.

### 1/5 — Stopped working with Amazon devices & Alexa app

*2022-06-19, version 1.0.2*

Is this app being supported anymore by APC!?!

When I first got two power strips a couple years ago, they integrated fine with Amazon Firecube, Eco & Alexa app. A couple months ago, these devices couldn’t find them any more because “they have stopped communicating with the server”. 

I can still control them through the APC app but I would like to control them through the Alexa app just like was doing along with my other smart plugs & light bulbs.

Short of uninstalling all the APC plugs, deleting the app & reinstalling everything, there doesn’t seem to be any easier potential fix. 

BTW, the Alexa app doesn’t seem to list the APC Home app &/or plugs anymore. If I uninstall them, will I even be able to reload them!?!

### 1/5 — App not working

*2022-05-21, version 1.0.2*

It has been a year since I’ve been able to sign in

### 2/5 — App

*2022-05-16, version 1.0.2*

Update APP :)

What happened with this App ? No update since what ??

### 1/5 — worked first time and never again

*2022-05-11, version 1.0.2*

It worked the first time I said this app and never again the Wi-Fi signal simply won't come on and the set up process although the phone will detect it it just spins and says device set up cannot be found absolute waste of money

### 1/5 — Horrible app & connectivity

*2022-03-30, version 1.0.2*

I bought 1 of these and everything seemed to be working well, so I ordered 2 more for other rooms in our place. I should have waited a while before doing that. I’m not sure how long it takes, but at some point after relatively painless set ups & connecting to the WiFi, all 3 of these power strips will lose their connection. 1 of them still appears connected in the app, but can’t be controlled in any way other than physically touching it and when I physically turn on/off different slots, the new status does not update in the app. The other 2, at least the app recognizes that they aren’t connected and prompts me to reconnect. However, the reconnect button does nothing. The only thing that works to get them back online is to delete them from the app and redo the initial set up routine, but it’s pointless because they’ll just go offline again at some point. They do look nice though and the green lights on them are pleasant to look at. Hopefully the seemingly basic surge protection function actually works because all the other tech that these supposedly have is totally useless.

### 1/5 — This app is a waste of time

*2022-03-16, version 1.0.2*

This app cannot connect and configure the APC power strip all..  it completely fails. Easy to see why it has one star. It doesn’t even deserve that.  Buy a smart power strip that doesn’t use this app….

### 4/5 — Seems to work

*2022-03-05, version 1.0.2*

Seems to work so far, needs more features like a timer.

### 2/5 — Not working properly with Alexa

*2022-01-27, version 1.0.2*

Outlet plugs work, but the USBs aren't.
