This power strip allows you to charge six devices at the same time and control three of them from your mobile

Home automation is becoming more and more popular and more and more Spaniards are buying light bulbs, sockets and other types of smart products to control lighting, water heaters and other devices. In addition to the convenience this brings, you canmake some energy savings.

But buying a socket for each of the devices we have in the house is not the most practical, at least economically, even if they are not particularly expensive. In certain circumstances, such as in the living room, it may be interesting to acquire a device to automate several at the same time.

This is where the smart power strip comes in, a device that allows you to power multiple devices at the same time. In this case Up to 3 can be charged conventionally, with the typical Schuko socket, and another three with the USB ports included.

Control the load

This band has three USB charging ports connected to each other, and which allow you to have cables to charge cell phones, tablets and even other types of things, like Chromecast on the TV, an LED strip, etc. It also includes three smart conventional connectors.

From the GHome app they can be activated and deactivated individually, being able to make each behave differently, or set timers for each of them. This application is free and is very similar to the famous Smart Life. In fact, you can also use this application to control the device from your mobile or tablet.

The power strip only connects to 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi networks, which is common in this type of device. This increases the autonomy even if the speed is not as high, but in this type of case it does not matter. Is compatible with Alexa and Google Assistantso that each of the sockets can be turned on or off with your voice or from the smart screens in the house.

It has physical buttons for each of the conventional plugs and one for the three USB connectors. The latter three are still connected to each other, but can be controlled as a group from the application.

The power strip has a 1.5 meter long cable and a price of 25.99 dollars in stores like Amazon. With the app you can check if certain devices are off, such as the fire pit or the living room light, although it can obviously also be used in an office to connect other devices.
