De'Longhi

About the vendor and its products

De'Longhi is an Italian company that offers a fairly broad spectrum of kitchen and climate control appliances. There is hardly a crystal clear dividing line between "non-smart" such products and what I would define as smart home products, but De'Longhi also offers products that clearly belong in the latter category:

• The most obvious of these is a smart dehumidifier called Tasciugo AriaDry Pure DDSX220WF, which is said to be the world's first Apple Home-compatible dehumidifier

• There is also supposed to be a Apple Home-compatible heater, DeLonghi MDH-15 Wi-Fi Multi-Dynamic Heater, but this is seemingly not sold outside Asia

• Portable air conditioners, several products that can be controlled using a Pinguino app

• Automatic coffee machines, this is a whole category of different machines, where many of them can be controlled using a Coffee Link app

As the examples above show, De'Longhi does not offer one, unified smart home ecosystem, but rather a series of products that (using WiFi) can be controlled from different apps. As far as I can tell, only the two products mentioned above are compatible with the more comprehensive smart home platforms, i.e., for Apple Home, while none of them work with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
