Allow me to paint you a picture – the year is 2015, life is great. The world seems stable, as does the economy, and people are just generally happy. There is, however, the problem of your average outlet. You see, 10 years ago, every room had these silent plastic rectangles fixed to the walls. They were always powered – ready to charge a phone, fire up a vacuum, or keep your lamp glowing – but that was about it. Outlets weren’t exactly “smart” or helpful beyond their one job, and certainly did nothing for you when the lights went out. Smart bulbs were starting to pop up, but the outlet itself? Completely static, often disappearing into the background until you needed to crouch down and plug something in – usually in the dark, usually with a bit of fumbling and a few muttered curses as you hit your head against furniture. Cut to 2025, and that feels like a relic of the past.
Sure, our world’s in a bit of a perilous situation, and I wish we could change a whole bunch of things – but if there’s one thing I’m thankful for, it’s the fact that my outlets now illuminate too. Sure, the average outlet has a plug that powers a lamp or a fan or an appliance… but the InvisOutlet Aura comes with its own light too, which turns your outlet into an ambient lamp. A set of LEDs built INTO the outlet itself give your walls glowing abilities, so they’re visible even when the lights are off. They can be toggled through an app (allowing you to switch them on or off or even change their colors) and even controlled via smart home voice commands. This effectively does two things – for starters, it saves your toes and shins from constant onslaught as you struggle to find the light switch in the dark… but more notably, it lets you set the vibe of your home by giving you an entire array of wall-mounted ambient lights!

The way the InvisOutlet Aura works is simple – it comes as a smart outlet , designed to fit into the wall and then get concealed with the smart outlet’s plate. The in-wall outlet features two remotely controllable 15A plugs along with a powerful RGB light built below. The lights draw power directly from the power line itself, so you don’t need to ‘plug’ anything in. When dormant, it looks like your average 2-plug outlet, allowing you to connect a variety of appliances, from lamps to humidifiers, chargers, etc. However, toggle the RGB lights and the InvisOutlet Aura casts a diffused glow against your wall, turning your power socket into a light itself! The best part? It’s not just some random light built into your socket – it’s a literal IoT device.
The InvisOutlet Aura comes with app connectivity, broader Matter integration, and it plays nice with your existing smart-home setup. You can control the lights (and their brightness level) via an app, or simply tell Alexa or Google or Siri to switch on/off or change the lights without so much as getting out of bed. A magic touch surface on the cover plate lets you manually toggle the light or even initiate the pairing/syncing feature… but for the most part, the InvisOutlet is designed to be a hands-off experience. It even packs adaptive brightness control (like your phone’s screen), adjusting the intensity based on ambient light. It glows appropriately in the dark, but switch a few lights on and it increases its brightness, so that the Aura’s aura remains visible!
Installing the outlet is fairly simple given its standard design. It plugs right into standard outlet spaces (with neutral wiring), can be installed by anyone, and doesn’t need batteries to power any extra features. Once plugged, it uses Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth Low Energy to stay perpetually connected to your smart home grid. The free app guides you through the Aura’s features, while giving you granular control over every element, from color selection to brightness control, and even overall home integration. All this comes with a fairly uncomplicated setup, thanks to Matter support that lets you seamlessly integrate the Aura into your existing smart home setup without changing anything.
The result? Convenience and attitude. Not only does a voice/app-activated ambient light give you clear access to your nearest power outlet, saving a few stumbles and bruised legs and egos, but the RGB-adjustable lights are quite literally the easiest way to upgrade your home. Imagine a smart home that comes to life with a simple “Hey Alexa”… you can do things like tell it to light up in your favorite sports team’s colors during a match, glow dimly on romantic nights to simulate candles, or trigger Christmas interior decorations with a mere command.
