Usage Recommendations
Use the scheduling function to switch appliances off during sleeping hours or to power on heating devices shortly before you arrive home. For accurate consumption graphs allow the plug to run for at least one hour, as the energy data becomes available after that period according to the manufacturer. If you manage multiple rooms, create groups in the app to turn several plugs on or off together. Note that these plugs operate on 2.4 GHz networks only, so they may not connect to routers that are set exclusively to 5 GHz bands. ⚙️
Benefits
Having energy monitoring visible in the app helps identify high-usage appliances and can support decisions about when to reduce consumption. Voice control reduces the need to access switches physically, which can be useful for people with limited mobility or when your hands are full. The 13 A rating makes the plug suitable for many common household appliances, and the four-pack format lets you spread smart control across several devices without buying multiple singles. There is no paid subscription required for basic remote control and scheduling, which keeps ongoing costs low.
