Smart plug

remotely toggle an electric socket

a lot of smart plugs measure power consumption, giving you more automation options. e.g.:

  • Run a vacuum robot IF your phone in the bedroom is charging.
  • Turn down the radio IF the webcam is on.
  • Turn on subwoofer when stereo is on, but not at night

most smart plugs are relays
all relays are noisy and make a click when toggling on/off.
to avoid this you can use a light dimmer, or solid state relay
