2. Ensure your Alexa device (e.g., Echo Dot) is powered on and connected to your network.

Operating Your Smart Plug

Energy Monitoring

The Sengled Smart Plug features built-in energy monitoring. While the product description states local control only, the energy monitoring feature allows you to view the power consumption of devices plugged into it. This data can be accessed through the Sengled Bluetooth App (no account required for direct local connection) to help you understand and manage your energy usage.

Scheduling and Timers

Automate your home by setting custom schedules and timers for your devices. This feature is ideal for managing lamps, fans, humidifiers, and other appliances. For example, you can set a lamp to turn on at sunset and off at bedtime, or schedule a coffee maker to start brewing before you wake up.

Voice Control with Alexa

Once paired with your Alexa device, you can control the smart plug using simple voice commands. This allows for hands-free operation of any connected appliance.

• "Alexa, turn on [device name]."
• "Alexa, turn off [device name]."
• "Alexa, turn off the lights at night." (If part of a routine)

Group Control

Manage multiple smart plugs or other Sengled Bluetooth devices simultaneously by organizing them into groups within the Alexa app or Sengled Bluetooth App. This allows you to control entire rooms or levels of your home with a single command.

Bluetooth Mesh Network

The Sengled Smart Plug utilizes Bluetooth Mesh technology, which allows devices to communicate with each other, extending the range of your smart home network. This means that even if a device is out of direct Bluetooth range of your Alexa device, it can still be controlled if it's within range of another Sengled Bluetooth Mesh device. This also ensures that your smart home network won't slow down your Wi-Fi, and offers localized information security with an OFF-Line Mode, meaning no cloud or network connection is required for basic functionality.

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Sengled Smart Plug, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Disconnect the smart plug from the power outlet before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Placement: Avoid placing the smart plug in areas with excessive heat, humidity, or direct sunlight. Ensure adequate ventilation around the device.
• Load Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 15A (1800W) to prevent damage to the plug and connected appliances.
