EIGHTREE 5GHz Smart Plug 13A with energy monitoring 🔌
Description:
This compact smart plug lets you switch and monitor appliances from your phone, making everyday energy use clearer and easier to manage. The 5GHz smart plug with energy monitoring offers faster response and lower latency for connected devices, so lights and small appliances react promptly whether you are at home or away.
Key Points
This smart socket connects over 5GHz Wi-Fi to reduce interference from crowded 2.4 GHz bands and improve responsiveness for voice commands and app control. It includes energy monitoring that records consumption over time, helping to identify power-hungry devices and potential savings. The unit works with Alexa and Google Assistant for hands-free operation and pairs with the Smart Life app for timers, schedules and remote switching. 🔌
Voice control and timed routines simplify daily tasks. You can set on/off schedules for lamps, heaters or chargers, and export consumption data in PDF to review usage trends. The plug handles most household appliances within its rated limits, but consider heavier loads carefully and avoid attaching high-draw devices like large ovens.
Technical Specifications
- Name: EIGHTREE 5GHz Smart Plug with Energy Monitoring
- Wi-Fi: 5 GHz
- Maximum current: 13A
- Maximum power: 2990W
- App compatibility: Smart Life, works with Alexa and Google Assistant
Benefits
Monitoring energy in real time helps you spot patterns and adjust behaviour to reduce bills and waste. The faster 5 GHz connection can be especially useful in homes with many smart devices or where the 2.4 GHz band is congested, offering steadier control and lower latency for commands and automations. The ability to export data in PDF makes it easier to archive consumption reports or share details for analysis. 📈
The compact design keeps both plug sockets usable when this unit is fitted into a wall outlet. Schedules and timers automate routines such as switching lamps on at dusk or turning standby devices off overnight. One limitation to note is that some smart home setups and older routers may not support 5 GHz devices as readily as 2.4 GHz models, so verify network compatibility if your router settings are restricted.
Usage Recommendations
Place the plug within good Wi-Fi coverage to ensure reliable communication and repeat the setup steps in the Smart Life app to enable energy reports and export features. Use the device for lamps, fans, chargers and other medium-power appliances under the 13A and 2990W rating, and avoid connecting devices that require surge protection or continuous high current. When relying on voice control, allow the smart assistant to discover the plug via the respective skills or services in the Alexa or Google Home app.
