The ZettaGuard WIFI electrical outlet is awesome. I love everything automated, electronic and futuristic. Just remember you need a router, WIFI, the Internet and a cell phone to use this. Would be a waste to just use the on/off switch on the plug itself and not all the other great features this has.
Plug this into the wall and your device (lamp, TV or whatever you want) into it, push the on/off button on the plug and the plug LED light will flash red telling you it’s in configuration mode, download and install the app for either IOS or Android onto your phone (if not done earlier), make sure your phone is connected to your networks WIFI, open the app and enter the WIFI password into the app and hit the start configuring button. The app will configure the smart plug to connect to your WIFI and then you are good to go.
Congratulations, you can now control this appliance from anywhere in the world from your phone. You can set up three different types of timers (countdown, scheduled, repeated) if you wish (Multiple of each if desired or needed) or you can manually turn it on and off with the app or use the on/off button on the plug itself if you wish.
This works really well for turning say a light on and off at the same time each day so you don’t have to do it and remember to do it, but you also have the option to manually turn it on or off using the app. So if you are coming home late from a party and the light is already turned off, you can turn it on so you have light when you get home.
This works really well for a rental property or vacation home to make it look like someone is there all the time as well as you can control it remotely if needed. I also have a WIFI thermostat and love that as well to be able to change the settings remotely.
I have this turning my living room light on every day from 5 pm to 1 am. I want everyone to think someone is home at night each night. Especially on the weekends when we are gone most nights and don’t get home until we early in the morning. I have to remotely turn this light on most weekends before we get home so I can see when I get home.
