The Smart Plugs
A smart plug simply turns things on and off. It’s placed between the power socket and the device of appliance you wish to plug in. It’s a very cool device when you have it connected to a smart home platform.
This device can transform any light or appliance into a smart one. They look like adapters that can connect to existing plugs, and can be connected to the home’s Wi-Fi Internet. When connected to an app on your smartphone, you can automate your home lighting by turning the devices connected, on and off. The app will show you the connected devices that are on and off, but it is important to find the one that works smoothly for you by contacting East-West Electric.
