You do not need to rewire your home to make it smart. A WiFi smart plug sits between the wall socket and any normal device — a lamp, fan, kettle or coffee machine — and lets you switch it on and off from your phone, on a schedule, or by voice.

What you can do with a smart plug
- Remote control: turn devices on or off from anywhere with the phone app.
- Voice control: works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant — “Hey Google, turn on the lamp”.
- Schedules: lights on at sunset, coffee machine on at 7:00, heater off when you leave.
- Away mode: switch lamps on in the evening so the home looks occupied while you travel.
Choosing the right version
Smart plugs are sold in country-specific socket types — pick US, EU or UK to match your wall sockets. Our store also offers multi-packs and a 4-way strip with USB ports if you want to automate a whole desk or TV corner at once.
Set it up in 5 minutes
- Plug it in and install the companion app on your phone.
- Connect it to your 2.4 GHz WiFi network (most smart plugs do not support 5 GHz).
- Name the plug after the device it controls (“Desk lamp”).
- Link the app to Alexa or Google Home for voice control.
- Create your first schedule.
Safety tips
Always respect the plug’s rated load. Smart plugs are ideal for lamps, fans, chargers, routers and small appliances. Avoid using them with space heaters or other high-power appliances unless the plug’s rating clearly covers them, and never daisy-chain plugs.

FAQ
Does it work with Alexa and Google Assistant?
Yes, the plug supports voice control through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
Why can’t my phone find the plug?
Make sure you are connecting to a 2.4 GHz WiFi network and your phone is near the router during setup.
Will it work if my internet is down?
Remote and voice control need WiFi and internet; the device can still be switched manually.
