The design of this smart socket has achieved the balance between functionality, safety and an appealing appearance. It is linked to a Wi-Fi network and is operated via the HomeMate app. Users can control various appliances when they are not at home, if they wish even several at the same time. The timer function is particularly useful for this. Safe operation is assured with the help of overload and electric-shock protection. The shape of the socket is unobtrusive, although the strong colours are arresting.
