Smart Plugs provide unprecedented control over the energy flow and active operation of any household appliance connected to the power grid.
Often the easiest way to start building a smart home ecosystem is to use smart plugs. They do not need to be built into the wall – the device acts as a smart adapter that is inserted into an existing wall contact and immediately establishes a WiFi connection with the home router. The internal relay can handle peak loads up to 16A (about 3680W), allowing you to safely connect large consumers such as heaters, washing machines, or air conditioners. Each device has an integrated power meter that generates detailed reports in the smartphone app on how many kilowatt-hours (kWh) a particular device has consumed during the day, week, or month. The physical contact protection mechanism made of flame-retardant polycarbonate (PC V0 class) blocks children's access to the power terminals and prevents the risk of internal circuit ignition during prolonged thermal load. On the software side, these plugs are easy to set up on schedules – they can automatically turn off the iron or heater when you leave the house and start heating water just before waking up in the morning.
By smartly managing electricity consumption and automating heavy equipment, you increase household efficiency and safety. When creating modern access control systems in the office or garage along with these smart power sockets, a great addition to the system will be the digital Smart Cylinders.
