Make simple home appliances smart.

If you want to upgrade a humidifier or kotatsu that doesn't have a timer or only has an off-timer, a smart outlet is perfect.

Gosund's "smart plug" is a smart outlet that can be linked with iPhone / Android / Amazon Echo (Alexa).

The cost performance is 1,680 yen (tax included), and it's an easy-to-use check item.

Smart power control

A smart outlet that goes well with simple home appliances that can keep the power of the main unit on standby even if the power plug is removed.

If you set it between a wall outlet, you can upgrade simple home appliances at once.

For example, in the cold winter, if you set an on-timer on a heater that you want to be warm when you wake up in the morning, you will not feel frozen.

Of course, it is OK to turn off at the specified time.

Forced shutdown is not recommended for PCs only. But if you use it well on your laptop, you may be able to switch between battery and power supply regularly to prevent deterioration due to overcharging of the battery.

Perfect when you want to use a tap without a switch as an OA tap with a switch.

Unlike the OA tap, which is hard to reach the switch unless you reach out, your smartphone and Alexa will turn it on and off, which will improve your comfort level.

A simple app is a good impression

An app with a simple UI is also quite easy to use.

If you just turn it on and off, you can operate it on the registered device list immediately after opening the application, and you can change it to an easy-to-identify name for voice operation.

Not only can you set the timer, but you can also know the amount of electricity used, which is a unique point. It may help reduce wasteful electricity usage.

Compared to the time when smart outlets were first released, the price is considerably easier to buy, and if you're wondering, it's time to get one.
