The so-called "smart socket" is to add a Wi-Fi module to the ordinary socket, control the power on and off of a single or entire socket through the mobile phone APP, and count the power consumption for a period of time.

At present, most of the smart sockets sold on the market have the function of connecting to the Wi-Fi network, so there is no need to purchase additional auxiliary products such as timing controllers or gateways. You can control the switch, timer or battery level directly through the mobile app. The smart socket has several basic functions: power-off protection, power statistics, linkage controlIn fact, I think that our ordinary home is most concerned about the smart socket is that it can switch on and off electrical appliances and linkage scenes and some safety issues, but now the electrical appliances that can be linked, like the kind of direct plug-in or power-on gear adjustment is really not much, power-off protection feels necessary, you can start one or two, there is no need to replace the whole house with a smart socket. If it is a large room, it can involve electricity statistics and energy saving.

When buying a smart socket, you must first pay attention to the specifications and characteristics of different styles, especially the sockets sold on the market now, which generally have Wi-Fi connection, voice assistant control, App sharing and other functions, so buy according to these functions and your own needs!

Wi-Fi connection

1. Voice control

Some smart sockets have voice control and can support voice management systems such as Apple Homekit, making it easy to use voice control to operate electricity and switches. You can choose according to your commonly used smart device platform and integrate traditional home appliances into the smart home ecology, so as to achieve a simple smart life. 

2. Sharing function

In addition to the above-mentioned start-up related mechanisms, it is also necessary to pay attention to whether there is a permission sharing function, so that other members of the family can manage the use of the socket and directly control it. 

3. Load power and safety design

After all, the socket is a product used to connect electrical appliances, so when selecting, it is also necessary to pay attention to whether it has multiple circuit protection and other functions to ensure that when the voltage exceeds the maximum load, it will start the safety mechanism of automatic power-off, so as to reduce the occurrence of electrical fire problems such as overload burnout and disaster. In addition, it is possible to confirm whether the product has passed the quality inspection to further ensure that there is no danger during use.

So if new functions and new sensors are added to the smart socket, what kind of surprises will appear?

The smart air conditioning socket with infrared remote control function came into being, and its main core function: the infrared remote control smart socket is plugged into the socket at home, no matter where you are, you can instantly control the power on and off of home appliances through the mobile phone APP. For example, if you want to take a hot shower when you want to get home after work, you can use your mobile phone to open the app on the road to power the water heater. In this way, the water heater will automatically heat the water, and you can take a comfortable hot bath when you get home.

4. Timer switch

Set the time of the socket on our APP software, and the socket will automatically turn on and off when the time comes. If you are worried that you will forget to turn on the water heater after work, you can set the time of the socket on the APP software, such as setting it to turn on at 19:00 and turn off at 19:50, so that you don't need to manually control it every time.

5. Infrared remote control function

Finally speaking of the main function of our infrared smart socket! Many people are asking what is infrared remote control? We all know that the remote control is to emit infrared rays to control household appliances, and the infrared smart socket has infrared penetration, and supports the "learning function", we can use this function, so that the infrared socket can learn all the functions on the remote control and feedback to the mobile phone interface, which is equivalent to turning the socket into a multi-functional remote control. 

6. Full-time feedback mechanism for air conditioning status

As we all know, the traditional air conditioner does not have the ability to directly send status information to the thermostat, and only by allowing the mobile phone terminal to remotely obtain the operating status of the air conditioner in real time can the safest and most accurate intelligent temperature control goal be achieved. Through multi-dimensional local data analysis and cloud big data analysis, the new smart air conditioner socket can not only provide 100% accurate real-time feedback on the operation status of the air conditioner, but also provide intelligent air conditioner power analysis. 

7. Advantages of adding a temperature sensor

As mentioned earlier, in order to realize the learning of different intelligent air conditioning control processes, it is necessary to accurately identify the various actions performed by intelligent air conditioners, and temperature sensors are needed here. The temperature sensor is not only one of the data sources for real-time feedback on the working status of the air conditioner, but also one of the important foundations for providing users with an intelligent experience. For example, in the cold winter, the temperature will be set to automatic temperature control in advance when sleeping, and when the bedroom temperature is lower than 20 degrees, the infrared smart socket will make the air conditioner automatically turn on, while the traditional air conditioner can only be turned on with a timer all night to achieve this effect. For example, if the owner of this house is used to stabilizing the room temperature below 20 °C in summer, then once the temperature rises by 21 °C, the infrared socket of Lanaosheng smart air conditioner will automatically issue an infrared command of "temperature-1", eliminating the cumbersome manual remote control of the owner.

Cameras can be addedto check the monitoring status at any time.

Built-in timer, you can schedule a timer, and you can work off the network, that is, you can continue to execute after the network is disconnected.

You can also share the device with your family through the APP to achieve multi-person control and easy operation.

The smart socket with humidity sensor can be used for air conditioning fans, and the 86 type 16A smart wall socket is carefully added, which is convenient for modifying the wall panel, making it more intelligent and high-end, and can be modified in the rear of the limited air conditioner, water heater and other places.

Intelligent control of life,  energy saving and convenience at home

Although today's Internet of Things can automate and intelligently manage home equipment and systems, it still needs to rely on more advanced terminal infrared smart sockets as an indispensable and important part of the smart home system to share smart life and create a better home life experience.

Founded in 2014, Shenzhen Lanaosheng Technology Co., Ltd. is a state-level high-tech enterprise, determined to research indoor precise positioning and tracking, low-power synchronous group control system, intelligent energy-saving electricity metering and monitoring, intelligent scene perception and intelligent lighting system in the field of a series of advanced and practical core products and solutions.
