# Plug - SONOFF S40

Earlier in the community, we explored how to add the [**SONOFF TX Switch**](/blog/add-your-devices-into-apple-home/switch-sonoff-tx.md) to Apple Home through the **CUBE OS Matter Bridge**, showing how switch-type devices work seamlessly with Apple's ecosystem.

This time, let's see how it performs with a **plug-type device** - the [**SONOFF Wi-Fi Smart Plug S40**](https://sonoff.tech/en-us/products/sonoff-iplug-series-wi-fi-smart-plug-s40-s40-lite/58) - to check how well it works inside Apple Home.

## Setup Steps <a href="#id-52b9437d" id="id-52b9437d"></a>

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Power up your **S40 plug** and connect it to your **eWeLink account** as usual.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Open **CUBE OS**, go to the **eWeLink Smart Home Add-on**, and sync your S40 device.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Enable the **Matter Bridge** in CUBE OS and add the bridge to **Apple Home** following the steps in our [Getting Started guide](/blog/add-your-devices-into-apple-home.md).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Once paired, your S40 plug will instantly appear in the Apple Home app - ready to control your fan or other appliances.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Apple Home Experience <a href="#id-3e4741c2" id="id-3e4741c2"></a>

Control works smoothly across all Apple platforms I tested:

<table><thead><tr><th width="168.54547119140625">Device</th><th>Tested Feature</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>📱 <strong>iPhone</strong></td><td>Apple Home app + Siri voice control</td></tr><tr><td>💻 <strong>iPad</strong></td><td>Apple Home app + Siri</td></tr><tr><td>🏠 <strong>HomePod mini</strong></td><td>Voice control via Siri</td></tr><tr><td>⌚ <strong>Apple Watch</strong></td><td>Apple Home app + Siri command</td></tr></tbody></table>

Response time is fast, and the state updates are almost instant. Turning the fan on and off feels natural and reliable through Apple's interface.

## Summary <a href="#eb6b589f" id="eb6b589f"></a>

The SONOFF S40 works perfectly through the **CUBE OS Matter Bridge**, just like the TX switch - stable connection, low latency, and full Apple ecosystem support.

If you have other plug-type or energy monitoring devices, give them a try and share your results below. It's exciting to see how many older Wi-Fi devices can get a second life inside Apple Home with CUBE OS.
