In-wall Smart Outlet | Sensing Cover Plates | Dimmable Nightlight | Simplified Automation

Story

InvisOutlet is an in-wall smart outlet with various sensors built inside the cover plate. It’s the easiest and neatest way to turn your entire house into a smart home without cluttered sensors everywhere.

Say goodbye to all these smart plugs and battery-powered sensors with InvisOutlet!

The InvisOutlet comes with its very own companion cover plate, the InvisDeco. This innovative cover plate is the first of its kind to incorporate a microprocessor, smart sensors, and a dimmable nightlight in a single unit.

Transform your living space into a sleek and intelligent smart home. No more frustrations in finding a place for all your smart sensors, not on your shelf, not on the desk, not even on the ceiling. You can install InvisOutlet right on your wall, just like your original outlet.

InvisOutlet is a cost-effective solution for setting up a smart home. The all-in-one design makes it an even more affordable option.

InvisOutlet integrates high-end German-made sensors to measure indoor air quality accurately, accessing a wealth of information about the air you breathe.

Instantly understand your air by the color-coded indicator. Plus, InvisOutlet takes care of your air quality by automatically turning the air purifier on and off based on what it detects, keeping the air you breathe healthy all the time.

InvisOutlet actively monitors room temperature, intelligently adjusting your smart thermostats, fans, and heaters based on readings from all areas of the house. You get convenience, less energy usage, and a lower energy bill.

High levels of CO2 can cause dizziness and a lack of energy, making it difficult for you to be productive. Receive automatic alerts when CO2 levels are too high, ensuring that you and your family can breathe comfortably and stay energized.

Thanks to the latest mmWave radar technology, the InvisOutlet can detect your presence in the room, even when you’re sitting still at your desk.

Effortlessly save energy with InvisOutlet’s presence detection feature that automatically turns off all appliances when you leave the room or when you are away from home.

Protect your home with InvisOutlet’s built-in “Home Security” feature, instantly scare off intruders and receive real-time alerts on your phone.

With its advanced ambient brightness sensor, the InvisOutlet is able to provide LUX readings that allow you to fully customize your lighting to match the room’s brightness levels. 

InvisOutlet automatically adjusts your studio lighting system to maintain optimal brightness, ensuring that you always have the best lighting for any activity, whether you’re drawing, studying, or working on a project.

InvisOutlet isn’t just packed with sensors — it also includes a hidden, dimmable nightlight so that you’ll never stumble in the dark again.

Plus, you can control it via voice or app using any of the assistant platforms.

With its sleek design, the ambient lighting sensor adjusts the brightness of the nightlight throughout the day, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing environment at all times.

The 15A dual independent controllable outlets allow you to effortlessly control your plugged-in appliances with ease. Furthermore, InvisOutlet is designed with tamper resistance, to keep you and all your loved ones (especially your family) safe and secure.

InvisOutlet allows you to easily automate and schedule your appliances. Start enjoying your day with a nice coffee first thing in the morning.

Turn on or off your outlets with the touch pads on the side of the cover plate, making it easy to instantly control your appliances when you need to.

InvisOutlet supports Matter, Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Home Assistant, and more!

Additionally, it utilizes an intranet (locally set up) TCP protocol to ensure fast and secure control of your InvisOutlet without relying on cloud processing while at home.

The Invis app empowers you with the flexibility to customize your InvisOutlet to your preference. You can adjust all kinds of advanced customizations to enhance privacy control.

Pairing your iPhone with InvisOutlet is as simple as scanning a HomeKit QRcode.

With the companion Invis app, you can easily set up InvisOutlet and link it to popular smart home platforms such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home.

 
The development of InvisOutlet involved multiple iterations and prototype variants, leading to the final version that we have today.

Past InvisOutlet prototypes

To ensure the sleek, screw-free design of InvisOutlet and the best cover plate snapping experience, we spent over a year revising the 3D model.

Keep Up with the Times: InvisOutlet’s Future-Ready Hardware

We have kept in mind the rapid advancement of smart home technology when designing InvisOutlet. With the world’s first patented interchangeable cover plate design, upgrading to the latest smart home technology is easy. Simply swap out the cover plate to enjoy new features and capabilities as technology advances.

Hi, I am Lawrence, the creator of InvisOutlet.

When I first delved into the world of smart homes, I wanted to maintain the aesthetic design of my home’s interior by adding control switches into the receptacles. While I was trying to set up the best smart home experience, it turns out the process of installing sensors, adding batteries, drilling holes, and mounting them on walls and ceilings proved to be tedious and time-consuming.

I said to myself, “There must be a better way.” As I searched for a better way to create a seamless smart home installation experience, I realized that outlets were already installed throughout my home, presenting me with an opportunity for a simpler solution.

Over time, I committed to a design that could be easily upgraded without having to replace the entire outlet.

The commitment I gave to myself: “My product must be upgradable over time.” I am proud to have stuck to that commitment, and I can’t wait for you to try InvisOutlet in your home!
