Why do I need a Smart Plug?

Do any of the below scenarios sound familiar? We've got the solution with our Smart Plugs.

1. Energy Savings – Do you need to reduce your bills?

Scenario: A family discovers their entertainment setup (TV, speakers, game console) continues to draw power in standby mode overnight.

Solution: Using InteliPlug smart plugs with scheduled timers, the system powers down completely at 11 p.m. and reactivates in the morning.

Result: Up to 10% reduction in monthly energy bills - simply by eliminating 'standby' mode on your appliances.

2. Eco-Friendly Living – Are you trying to be more sustainable?

Scenario: A small business wants to reduce its carbon footprint by ensuring that non-essential equipment (printers, monitors, fans) is not left running after hours.

Solution: InteliPlug enables remote shutdown of all devices via app or voice assistant.

Result: Significant drop in electricity usage and alignment with sustainability goals - without needing to change employee habits.

3. Peace of Mind – Did I Leave the Iron On, Did I leave the hair straighteners on?

Scenario: A busy professional leaves home in a rush and can't remember if the iron or hair straighteners were switched off.

Solution: With our GEN 2 Smart Plug, they check and power off the appliance remotely from their phone.

Result: Reduced fire risk and daily anxiety - plus no need to turn around mid-commute.

4. Accessibility – Smart Independence

Scenario: An elderly or mobility-impaired user struggles to access wall switches for lamps and appliances.

Solution: GEN 2 Smart Plugs, integrated with voice control (e.g., Alexa), allows full control of devices without needing to get up or reach awkward plugs.

Result: Greater independence, safety, and comfort - empowering users to live more confidently at home.

5. Home Security – Smart Plugs for Light Automation

Scenario: A homeowner wants to make their home appear occupied while away on holiday.

Solution: Using InteliPlug smart plugs, they set lights to turn on and off at scheduled times in the evening.

Result: A simple yet effective deterrent for burglars - enhancing home security without installing a full alarm system.

6. Morning Routine – Wake Up to Fresh Coffee

Scenario: A user wants their coffee machine to start brewing before they get out of bed.

Solution: With InteliPlug’s scheduling feature, the coffee maker switches on every morning at 7 a.m.

Result: A smoother, stress-free morning routine - without the wait.

7. Travel Safety – Remote Appliance Control While Abroad

Scenario: A traveller worries about leaving an appliance on while overseas.

Solution: The GEN 2 Smart Plug lets them check and turn off devices from anywhere in the world using the mobile app.
