I bought a Smart Plug. It works. I can turn lights on and off with my iPhone's Home app - but only when my iPhone is connected to my WiFi in my house. When I leave my house I'm not able to connect to my Smart Plugs because I'm using cellar data.
So, the first question is: Can I use Apple's iPhone Home app to control lights when I am miles away from my house?
The second question is: Do I need to purchase hardware to access Smart Plugs while I'm away from home?
