Voice control: the Alexa socket is compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant & SmartThings. Operate your device with a simple voice command: "Alexa, turn on the light"
ULTRA MINI SIZE Our designer has reduced the size to 1.75 x 1.75 inches. Thus, the smart socket fits next to each other in the power strips. Space optimization brings more convenience to your life.
Smart Life APP Control: Control the lighting in your home remotely and set regular schedules for TV, coffee machine, humidifier, etc. "Smart Home" is not only fun, it is also useful.
Please note: the socket does not support "Tasmota". The built-in "Realtek" chip ensures better stability of the network connection. The risk of going "offline" is less.
Monitor energy consumption: Do you want to know the power consumption of each individual device in your household? The WLAN sockets from EIGHTREE can record the daily power consumption of your sockets and summarize them over weeks, months and years. This helps to optimise your power consumption.
If you have any questions or requests, please contact us via Amazon or via support email. EIGHTREE is always there for you.
ATTENTION AVM users: Fritzbox-OS. 7.20, you need to set your encryption standard to WPA2 to connect the plugs. WPA3 is not supported.
