In this tech savvy era, most Appliances today have smart capabilities that tend to make life easier. Not all people bought their home appliances during this golden era, though, and deciding to replace all your appliances to conform to the digital standards all at once, is a very expensive undertaking unless of course, you have won the lottery.

For those that are not so lucky to have won the lotto, the WeMo smart plug will be of great help. This is a smart plug just like the name suggests, and it has amazing features that can make all your home appliances join the digital era, using its connection.

Features, and how it works

The Belkin Wemo Mini Smart Plug is an adapter that allows you to plug in all your electrical appliances like the coffeepot, TV, fridge and toaster – anything! It comes with an app for most smart devices these days. The app allows you to switch on or off any home appliance from wherever you are. This is a set up that most modern appliances have, the plug-in is just meant to advance appliances that are not that modern.

Why the Wemo smart plug set up is so helpful

There is no need to wait until you get home to turn on, say the fan on a hot day. For example, when you are about to leave the office, you can go to the app, activate the fan, and get home to a cool house and a TV already airing your favorite program. Or you can switch on your lights on when you’re out of the house to avoid coming home to a dark house. The smart plug automates your home.

Convenience

The Belkin WeMo Mini Smart Plug is small in size and does not take up too much space with dimensions of 3.8 x 1.4 x 2.4 inches, and it only takes the space of one electrical outlet. Alternatively, instead of switching on the appliances from the app, one can also set you a schedule for when you would like the devices to switch off or on. This favors people who follow a particular routine day in day out.

What it means to technology

The smart plug also comes armed with a manual switch button so that it can work, even without your phone. The smart plug also has a built-in Wi-Fi and Amazon Alexa compatibility for voice control. Enabled devices, that use the voice control, can be switched on and off with a simple voice command.

It also supports IFFIT which is a web-based service that allows users to create chains of simple conditional statements on items called applets. These are triggered based on changes to other web based devices. These include and not limited to Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat.

Generally speaking…

A user of the smart plug can do cool things like syncing lights to sunset and sunrise, and they automatically go on and off. There is a randomize light feature – if you press the ‘away mode,’ lights switch on and off randomly to give the impression you are home, hence deter burglars. Due to its sleek design and size, one can plug in up to two smart plugs into the same outlet.
