Feels like a really crummy web app
It might be forgivable that the devices themselves don’t work with HomeKit, but the app makes no attempt to fit within the iOS ecosystem. It doesn’t implement basic features like Siri Shortcut support, so devices can’t even be activated with Siri.

Needs some improvements
To be fair, I am rating 4 stars, because the Grid Connect system is reliable and solid. Major plus points: 1. Units retain last setting (on/off/dimmer) when resuming from power failure. 2. Seamlessly fails over to allow direct operation of the units via Bluetooth if the Wi-Fi network fails. 3. Smart plugs are small and can fit side by side in distro’s and power boards. Major thumbs down points: 1. No iOS shortcut integration 2. No HomeKit support (obviously) 3. Grid Connect app has a disgusting UI - what in the world were they thinking. 4. App has small on buttons - too easy to open up the unit screen rather than quickly toggle appliances. 5. No way to group units to see collective power usage. 6. No way to see cumulative power usage - only historical graphs. For the price and ease of setup, the pros outweigh the cons, but I wouldn’t use these for a smart home (HomeKit is so, so much better). They make great energy meters and scheduled timer switches though.
