FAQ

What’s the difference between a smart plug and a remote-controlled plug?

A smart plug connects to your Wi-Fi and can be controlled via smartphone apps or voice assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant. A remote-controlled plug operates via a physical remote but doesn't typically offer app or voice integration.

Can smart plugs be controlled when I’m not home?


Yes, if connected to Wi-Fi, smart plugs can be controlled remotely via your app—even when you’re away from home.

Do smart plugs work with all devices?


Most smart plugs work with standard household appliances like lamps, fans, coffee makers, and TVs. However, avoid using them with high-power devices like space heaters unless the plug’s wattage rating supports it.

Do remote-controlled plugs require Wi-Fi?


No, remote-controlled plugs operate via a wireless remote and do not require an internet connection.
