Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of devices can a smart plug control?
It’s typically used for simple plug-in items like lamps, fans, and other small electronics that can be safely turned on and off at the outlet.
Can this make any appliance smart?
Not every appliance works well with a smart plug—devices that need a manual button press after power is restored usually won’t be fully automatable this way.
