Like the eConnect and Solwise models, the Dynamode devices come with generic basic installation software and a manual, though the external case has a slightly different design. We dropped a mark off the Dynamode's ease of use because we didn't like the way its casing had the Ethernet cable coming out of the top of the plug rather than hanging out of the bottom, which is just plain odd, and because its orientation meant that the writing on the LED indicators was upside down when plugged into a wall socket. You could argue that we're splitting hairs over such small details but when the rest of the software and installation is identical to its rivals, it's the small things that matter.

But it's the price that really disappoints, coming within a pound of its Devolo rival, despite the latter's significant software additions. With nothing physically between the Dynamode and the Solwise offerings except for the price, you could nearly double up on Solwise adapters for every Dynamode purchase you made.
