Go on vacation with peace of mind—it does have a cost, but it’s very small. You would never have thought that with an expense of just over 10 euros you could enjoy your vacation completely worry-free. How? Here we give you some simple tech tips so that, with the help of IoT devices, you can relax on your summer getaways.
Today we’re here to talk about smart plugs. These small devices are very practical for managing electrical appliances and small household devices remotely. Through your smartphone, you will be able to control the devices plugged into these smart plugs, no matter where you are. The main use of these devices is to remotely manage smaller appliances, usually, like coffee makers, hair straighteners, etc., to make sure we have turned them off or to turn them on before we use them (who doesn’t like waking up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee!).
It’s clear that these are small smart devices connected to our home WiFi network designed to make our lives easier. Also, we’re going to share a less common but very useful use for us that will allow you to go on vacation, a weekend getaway, or a long weekend without worries.
Surely at some point you’ve thought how practical it would be to make some noise at home so that if someone is snooping around, they might think there are people inside, right? With SPC smart plugs, this is possible. You just have to leave a couple of radios plugged into these devices and, through the SPC IoT app, turn the radios on and off at intervals so that from time to time you hear noises, voices, and music.
If you have more than one corded radio at home, an clock radio, or a mini stereo, it would be ideal to place these devices in different rooms with different stations and activate them at different times. This way, there will be more noise in the house coming from different directions, and not all devices will sound at once, which will create a much more accurate and realistic impression of an occupied home to prevent anyone from entering your home while you’re on vacation.
The choice is very simple. In SPC’s catalog, we have 3 models of smart plugs so you can choose the one that best suits your needs:
.- SPC CLEVER PLUG USB: if you want to get the most out of your smart plug and charge your phone at the same time as having any other electrical device connected, this is the device you need. It includes two USB charging ports to give it greater versatility and usefulness.
.- SPC CLEVER PLUG DUAL: for those who always need a little more, SPC CLEVER PLUG DUAL allows you to connect two devices at once. So, if you don’t have enough outlets for all the devices you use, with this solution you can plug in two devices and control them from your phone app anytime and anywhere.
.- SPC CLEVER PLUG MINI: the compact plug ideal for those who seek simplicity and ease. If you only need to plug one device into the network and don’t want extra cables or devices, this is the IoT plug you need.
