A Wifi smart socket, also known as a smart plug, is an electronic gadget that allows you remotely switch on and off electrical appliances, or also automate them. If you have a smart plug set up, for example, you can switch on your living room A/C ten minutes before you get home, so the room is comfortable for you by the time you arrive. Even better, you can automate it such that the living room A/C switches on at 6pm every work day and switches off by 8am when everyone would be out of the house.
The advantages of using a Wifi smart socket are convenience and energy saving. What do you need to set one up? Not much at all. You need the smart plug itself, a wireless hotspot, your smartphone (Samsung, Nothing Phone, Motorola, TECNO, itel, any other Android phone, or iPhone), and an app.
