Product Information

Smart plugs link up to your Wi-Fi connection and can direct power to your dumb devices on a schedule, or simply via a voice command issued to Alexa or the Google Assistant. This also means that you can view your dumb products as part of your connected devices via whichever smart home hub app you’re currently using.

For instantaneous power reading, yes, all will show fairly accurate values. The flag I raised is related to the sampling rate of the devices and using these values to calculate power usage over time. Basic Kilowatt Hours. The point of my picture was to show the possible answers to the question, ‘What did that pot of coffee cost to make?’. As you can see most of the power hungry home appliances we use, use simple power on and off cycling to control things like temperature, cooking power, refrigeration level… This leads to very ‘spikey’ square wave power usages. If a device cycles power several times per minute and the power monitoring device only samples a couple samples per minute, the ‘area under the curve’ is going too often be very inaccurate. The description does actually mention smart plugs too (albeit Hue’s own one, for obvious reasons), showing that this is a perfectly supported method. With the Smart Zigbee plug you can control your appliances from your smartphone. There’s no need to leave your seat to turn off your appliances. Sync your Zignito plugs with other devices and have appliances turn on or off in response to other devices. Have appliances turn off when you leave the house by syncing to your door sensors or have the heating turn on when sensors are triggered. The possibilities are endless.By offering “kits” that have everything you need to get started, we make it easier to have Smart lighting in your home.
