Etekcity Smart Plug
When you get your electric bill, you’ve noticed that it shows your home is using a lot of power. The bill can usually give you an overview of which months were your biggest energy usage, which means the months that you paid more for electricity.
But what the bill can’t tell you is exactly which appliance is putting the squeeze on your wallet. You can try to figure that out by buying a device that’s designed to measure each appliance and device in your home.
Of course, you would have to manually check each item individually. You could also use an Ammeter, which checks the circuit. Or, you can get a smart plug that not only shows how much power is being used by your individual devices, but will also save you money once you know that information.
The Etekcity Smart Plug is a great way to save energy and lower your monthly electric bill. You can use it to shut off your devices no matter where you are. It’s simple to do using an app that you download with your phone.
It’s voice enabled so it can work with Google Home, Alexa and more and you don’t need a hub for that feature. You will need Wi-Fi, though. If you’re leaving a room and your hands are full, you just tell Alexa to turn off the lights.
Or you can tell Alexa to turn the TV on for you. The device lets you determine when you want your devices to begin and end. You can set a schedule that powers on your fans or lights.
The same app can then follow your schedule to shut them off. If you want the lights to come on when it’s morning, you just put that in the schedule and the timer takes care of it.
If you want the lights to come on so you’re not walking into a dark home, the device will turn whatever lights on that you want. What sets this plug apart is that it has an energy monitoring feature.
This mode will automatically shut off the device it’s monitoring when it reaches the maximum cost that you’ve set. This allows you to control how much the usage of that device is going to cost you and this lowers your electric bill.
The plug has what’s called “Abnormal Power Protection,” so if you get a surge that’s over your preset amount, the plug shuts off. If the power ever goes out, when it comes back on, the device automatically reconnects.
If you’re ready to stop spending so much money every month to the electric company, get the plug that can stop high energy usage and save you money.
