Smart Socket

A smart socket, or smart plug/outlet, adds remote and automated control to a power outlet. It can switch connected appliances on or off and often measures energy use. It communicates over Wi-Fi, Zigbee, or Z-Wave, and its rating must match the local voltage and outlet standard.

FAQ

Can smart sockets measure energy use?

Many models include energy metering to report power and consumption, but this feature varies; confirm it is supported before ordering.

Are smart sockets safe for high-power appliances?

Only within their rated current; using a socket beyond its rating risks overheating. Match the socket rating to the appliance load and local standard.
