The number of scenarios for using smart outlets is limited only by your imagination. The most obvious ones are, for example, the remote turning off irons, curling tongs and other fire-hazardous appliances, regarding which, as ill luck would have it, you never remember whether you turned them off or not: you have to make a U-turn halfway to go back and check. With the app, you always see the current status of the outlet in real time.
You can also set up the outlet so that it be automatically turned off when everyone leaves home (that is, Bluetooth-enabled smartphones are out of coverage). The mode is aptly called “I am at home”. So, the logic with the power off by default is a great solution to ensure home safety and energy saving.
