Review: Koogeek P1 Smart Plug an affordable way to get started with Apple's HomeKit
But you do need to register if you want to use the app and access power usage and historical data.
To check if the app was properly secured, I set my iphone to use my MBP as a proxy, and used Charles Proxy to monitor the traffic from my iPhone.
The fact they don't use basic https to secure data communication brings everything else they do into serious question. -

While the Koogeek plugs are cheap and work fine, I WOULD NOT recommend them, in fact, stay away for now. Koogeek does NOT use basic https security on it's website OR in their mobile app! So when you go to create your user account with Koogeek either in the app or on the website, it's all in unencrypted clear text! This is completely UNACCEPTABLE, especially from a home automation company where security should be of paramount importance!
DO NOT USE KOOGEEK, until they get their website and apps secured properly!
