Operating the Smart Plug

Manual Control

The smart plug features a physical power button on its side. Press this button to manually turn the connected appliance on or off.

App Remote Control

Once configured, you can control your smart plug from anywhere using the dedicated app on your smartphone. As long as your phone has a secure network connection (2.4G, 4G, or 5G Wi-Fi), you can turn devices on or off remotely.

Voice Control

If linked with Alexa or Google Home, you can use voice commands to operate the smart plug. For example, say "Alexa, turn on the living room lamp" or "Hey Google, turn off the fan."

Scheduling and Timers

Use the app to create custom schedules and timers for your connected devices. This allows for automated operation, such as turning lights on at sunset and off at sunrise, or running a dehumidifier for specific hours. Schedules can be set for daily, weekly, or specific days, helping to manage energy consumption.

Grouping Control and Sharing

The app allows you to group multiple smart plugs together for simultaneous control with a single tap. You can also share control of your smart plugs with family members through the app.

Maintenance
