Once connected, you can turn devices on or off, set schedules, and monitor energy usage from anywhere, providing convenience and potential energy savings.
Are smart outlets safe to use in my home?

They must be manufactured according to safety standards and should be installed by a qualified electrician if you’re not comfortable doing it yourself. Always ensure they have been certified by recognized safety organizations such as UL or ETL.
Can I control smart outlets when I’m away from home?

What types of devices can I use with smart outlets?
You can connect a wide range of devices to smart outlets, including lamps, coffee makers, fans, heaters, and more. However, it’s important to check the manufacturer's specifications to ensure the device does not exceed the outlet’s power capacity, typically around 15 amps or 1800 watts.
How do I install a smart outlet in my home?
To install a smart outlet, you usually need to replace an existing outlet. Begin by turning off the power supply at your circuit breaker, then remove the old outlet and wire the new smart outlet according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once wired, secure the outlet in the box, reattach the faceplate, and turn the power back on. It’s recommended to test the outlet to ensure everything is working correctly. If you’re unsure, consulting with or hiring a licensed electrician is advisable.
Do smart outlets work with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant?

This integration allows you to control the outlets using voice commands, adding another level of convenience to your smart home setup.
