Logitech Pop Smart Button

An ordinary button on steroids

£119.99 from Logitech, logitech.com features 2x Pop buttons, 1x wireless bridge with HomeKit support

Logitech’s Pop was first launched about a year ago, but we decided to take a closer look following a recent update that added support for Apple’s HomeKit software.

The Pop is a little tricky to describe. Logitech calls it a ‘smart button’ that you can use to control a variety of devices around your home.

As well as supporting HomeKit, the Logitech Pop is compatible with many other devices too, such as Sonos speakers and Samsung’s SmartThings security sensors.

The Pop starter kit includes two Pop buttons and a wireless bridge, which plugs into a power socket and connects the buttons to your Wi-Fi network. Each button can be programmed to perform three actions, using a single tap, doubletap, or tap-and-hold. Of The Pop buttons can control multiple devices with a single tap. course, this is already possible using the iOS apps that come with these devices, but simply tapping the Pop is a lot quicker than unlocking your iPhone and switching between multiple apps. The £120 price tag might seem a bit steep, but if you’re a gadget fan then the Pop will make a terrific little present.
