Smart Plugs with WiFi and ZigBee
Smart plugs from Gosund, Greenblue, Sonoff and Shelly include WiFi and ZigBee options, models with timers, energy monitoring and USB ports. They suit households looking to control connected appliances or track electricity use. Choose according to your control system, the appliance’s electrical load and whether you need timed operation, consumption readings or voice control.
Smart plugs provide control options for connected electrical appliances, with energy monitoring available on selected models. The range includes Gosund, Sonoff, Shelly, Greenblue, Avatto, Meross, Maclean and Tuya products. Options include WiFi and ZigBee smart plugs, timer-equipped plugs and versions with USB ports. Selected products also support app control and Alexa or Google Assistant voice control.
How to choose smart plugs
Start with the appliance you intend to connect and the control system you use at home. Compare the plug’s current and power limits with the appliance’s requirements, then decide which functions matter most. Check the exact model’s supported app, voice assistants and system requirements. A timer, energy monitor and USB connection serve different purposes, so prioritise the features that match your intended use.
- Connection type: WiFi and ZigBee smart plugs are available, alongside WiFi/Bluetooth options. Match the connection technology to your intended control setup.
- Electrical load: Smart plugs have different current ratings. Compare the stated amp rating and maximum power, where provided, against the connected appliance’s requirements.
- Timer function: A smart plug with a timer suits appliances you want to operate according to a chosen time setting. This is a separate consideration from app or voice control.
- Energy monitoring: Smart plugs with an energy monitor let you track electricity consumption for a connected appliance. Choose this feature when understanding usage is a priority.
- USB ports: Selected Gosund smart plugs include USB or USB-C connections. Compare the port type and stated charging output with the requirements of your devices.
A single smart plug can serve one connection point, while multipacks suit several locations around the home. Typical priorities include timed appliance control, monitoring electricity use and adding USB connections at a socket.
