Logis-Connect is your independent reference media dedicated to the connected home, smart home devices and the transition to open standards such as the Matter and Thread protocols.
Our Mission
Our goal is to guide users — from beginners to experts — through the connected-devices jungle. We independently test, compare and analyse the best solutions on the market: smart plugs, smart thermostats, security cameras, smart locks, alarms, smart lighting, video doorbells and smart home hubs. Our aim: simplify your daily life, improve your comfort and reduce your energy consumption — without drowning you in technical detail.
Our Testing Method
Our recommendations are never left to chance. Every product goes through a rigorous testing protocol:
- Extended real-world use: several weeks of installation and daily use, not a simple unboxing.
- Verified interoperability: genuine compatibility testing with Matter, Thread, Zigbee, HomeKit, Google Home and Alexa.
- Objective measurements: recorded power consumption, real battery life, latency and notification reliability.
- Price transparency: systematic checks for hidden costs (mandatory subscriptions, fees, warranty).
- Continuous updating: every guide is reviewed and updated as product lines and protocols evolve.
Our Regulatory and Technical Watch
Smart home technology moves fast. We closely follow the evolution of the Matter protocol and the Thread network, as well as European directives such as the EPBD (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive) and future interoperability requirements. This monitoring allows us to alert you the moment a new development genuinely changes the game — and to call out empty hype with no substance behind it.
Our Editorial Rules
We follow a demanding editorial charter:
- Complete independence: our opinions are never influenced by manufacturers, advertisers or our affiliate partners.
- Verifiable data: every figure, price or specification we cite is checked against the original source.
- Right to corrected errors: we publish our corrections and updates transparently.
- Neutrality: we also test what fails, and we say so clearly.
Transparency About Our Affiliate Links
Some of the links in our guides are affiliate links. If you buy through one of these links, we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. This commission funds our product purchases for testing and the maintenance of the site. It never influences our ratings or recommendations: a poorly-rated product stays poorly rated, even with an affiliate link.
