Compatibility & Technical Notes

Smart Plugs typically follow these compatibility rules:

  • Connectivity:

Most models use Wi-Fi or Zigbee. Wi-Fi plugs connect directly to your router, while Zigbee plugs strengthen your mesh network.

  • Ecosystem Integration:

Compatible with Tuya, and can be linked to Alexa, Google Home, or HomeKit (with a Matter-capable bridge or Matter-supported plugs).

  • Hub Requirement:

    • Wi-Fi plugs: No hub required.

    • Zigbee plugs: Require a Zigbee hub but act as strong repeaters to extend the network.

  • Load Capacity:

Always check maximum wattage — heavy-duty appliances (heaters, ovens, kettles) require higher-rated plugs.

  • Energy Monitoring:

Available on select models via Tuya, showing real-time and historical consumption.

  • Safety Features:

Many plugs include overload protection, auto-shutdown, and child-safety design.

  • Usage Scenarios:

Ideal for lamps, fans, coffee machines, routers, fragrance diffusers, TVs, and small appliances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Smart Plugs — Common Questions Answered

What’s the difference between Wi-Fi and Zigbee smart plugs?

Wi-Fi plugs connect directly to your router and are easy to set up, while Zigbee plugs require a hub but improve network stability by acting as mesh repeaters.

Yes, but only if the plug is rated for the appliance’s wattage. Always check the load limit before connecting heaters or large devices.

They use very little power (typically under 1W). Energy monitoring models can even help reduce usage by showing which devices consume the most.
