Seven Great Ways Smart Plugs Upgrade Your Life
Wish your lights would turn on automatically when it’s dark? Or that you could check remotely if devices have been left switched on? Smart home technology and SMART PLUGS make it possible!
What is a smart plug?
A Smart Plug is a device that fits into a standard wall socket and lets you control the appliance that’s plugged into it. It does this by offering remote control via a smartphone app. You can control it in real-time to turn appliances on or off or schedule it to activate certain devices at times you choose.
Wiser Plugs connect to your smart heating system by Wiser to make controlling devices more convenient and energy-efficient. Control up to 10 appliances per Wiser system, alongside your heating and hot water with our growing family of smart home devices.
Essentially, smart plugs save time and money by transforming every device in your home. If you like the sound of that, here are seven ways a smart plug may help you:
1. Oh, those summer nights.
Too hot to sleep? But too tired to turn on the fan or air conditioner? Smart plugs have your back, simply turn them on from your bed in the Wiser Home app, schedule a time for it to turn off if you’re saving energy and get your head back down for a few more hours. Tomorrow’s you will thank you for it!
2. Switch off those vampire devices
In good weather, chances are you’ll be out and about a lot more; days out, time with family and friends, evenings spent in nature, all the good stuff. So plugged-in devices like TVs and computers might not see so much action, but still draw electricity from your mains supply while on standby. Smart plugs let you remotely turn them off at the plug either individually or all at once using Away Mode, or alternatively schedule their switched-on time, saving valuable pennies for the more important things in life, then simply switch them back on when needed.
3. The morning rush.
Have you ever left the house in the morning, only to feel the panic of wondering if you’ve turned off an iron or some hair straighteners? Since smart plugs work remotely, you can check and turn them off from your phone, another of its handy safety features.
4. Get away from it all – and stay in control.
If you’re going away this summer, you take steps to make your home is secure. Let smart plugs give you more peace of mind by scheduling lamps or a TV to switch on to make your home appear occupied, deterring would-be burglars and reducing worry. Schedule up to eight events per day per device with the Wiser Home app, and by turning smart plugs into smart timers you’ll boost your home security.
5. Making bedtime simpler.
Once the kids are asleep, you don’t want to risk waking them by venturing into their rooms to turn off bedside lamps and nightlights. With a Wiser Plug, simply turn them off via the app or even ask Alexa or your Google Assistant to do it from downstairs, and there’s no need to even leave the sofa!
6. Wake up to a brew.
Ever wished the kettle could be boiled for you after you wake up? By using your app to schedule your smart plug, you can set your kettle to start boiling at exactly your alarm time. Sadly it can’t make that cuppa for you, but by the time you make the sleepy journey downstairs, the kettle’s boiled and ready for you.
7. Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
There are a few things better than coming home from work and having a hot meal ready and waiting. Connect a smart plug to your slow cooker, and switch it on from your desk, or alternatively schedule it to automatically switch on at a time you choose. All you have to do when you get home is eat and relax.
Make your Wiser system even smarter with Wiser Plugs and enjoy all the comfort, convenience and energy savings that app control of your smart home brings.
