WiFi Smart Plug – App and Voice Control Socket for EU, UK and US Outlets

This WiFi smart plug fits between a wall socket and an appliance and lets you switch that appliance on and off from a phone. It also has a button on the body for switching by hand, and the supplier lists voice control through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Easy Life Markets sells it in EU, UK and US plug types, as a single plug, a pair, a two-socket unit or a four-way strip with USB ports.

A smart plug is the simplest way to add remote control to something that was never built for it: a lamp, a fan, a coffee maker, a phone charger. Anything that starts working as soon as it gets power can be put on a schedule or switched off from another room. Appliances that need a button pressed after the power comes on will not start by themselves.

What Is in the Box

The supplier does not publish a written packing list for this product. Each option is the socket unit named in the option. A manual is normal with products of this kind but is not listed. Ask us before ordering if you need the contents confirmed.

What the Supplier Does Not State: Read This First

The supplier's data for this product is thin, and one gap matters for safety.

Maximum load. No current or wattage rating is given in the listing. Every smart plug has a limit, and it is normally printed on the back of the unit. Check that figure when the plug arrives and stay under it. Until you have read it, do not use the plug with heaters, kettles, irons, hair dryers, air conditioners or other high-power appliances.
Safety approvals. None are listed, so we do not claim any.
WiFi band. Not stated. Many smart plugs connect on 2.4 GHz only, so have that band available on your router.
App name. Not stated in the listing.
USB output on the strip. Not stated.
Whether the strip's sockets switch separately. Not stated.

If one of these decides the purchase, tell us and we will ask the supplier before you buy.

Which Plug Type Do You Need?

Match the option to the sockets in your walls. EU is the two-round-pin type, UK is the three-rectangular-pin type, and US is the two-flat-pin type with a round earth pin. The supplier does not state a voltage range, so buy the type made for your sockets and do not run it through a travel adapter on a different mains voltage.

Setting It Up

Read the rating on the back of the plug and make sure the appliance you have in mind is within it.
Install the app named in the instructions and create your own account.
Push the smart plug into a wall socket near your router for the first setup.
Follow the app's steps to add the device. This usually means putting the plug into pairing mode with its button and entering your WiFi password.
Name the plug after what it controls, such as "desk lamp". Clear names make voice control work better.
Move the plug to where you want it and connect the appliance.
To use a voice assistant, link the plug's app account inside the assistant's own app.

What People Use It For

Lamps on a schedule. On at dusk and off at bedtime, or on at set times while you are away.
Cutting standby power. Switch a TV corner or a desk setup fully off overnight.
Chargers. Give a charger a fixed time and have it switch off afterwards.
Hard-to-reach sockets. Control a plug behind furniture without moving anything.

Using It Safely

Indoor use only. Keep it dry.
Do not plug one smart plug or strip into another.
Do not cover it, and leave space round it for air.
Think before switching anything remotely that could be dangerous unattended, such as a heater or an iron.
If the plug becomes hot, smells or discolours, unplug it and stop using it.
Do not use it for medical equipment or anything that must never lose power.

Common Questions

Does it work without the internet? The button on the unit switches it by hand at any time. App control away from home needs the plug on WiFi with internet access.

Does it need a hub? It connects by WiFi and no hub is listed.

Does every option measure power use? Only the two-socket unit is listed with power metering.

Is it an Amazon or Google product? No. It is an unbranded smart plug from our supplier. The supplier lists it as working with those voice assistants, and it is not made or endorsed by either company.

What happens after a power cut? The supplier does not say whether it returns on or off. Test it before relying on it.
