Energy monitoring with a Smart Plug
For many reasons, it can be interesting to know the power consumption of an appliance, light or device. It can be surprising to know how much or how little energy is used, and it gives a good insight into the costs and environmental impact of your household. Awareness can help to make better decisions.
Hihome Smart Plugs and Smart Strips have an Energy Monitoring chipset that continuously measures power consumption. When you use the Hihome App, you can read the current and historical consumption in kWh. The current voltage and usage in Watts are also visible.
Hihome helps you to reduce your consumption, save costs and helps you to save the environment.
Note: The measurement accuracy may have a deviation of 5%.
Time switches, timers, time switches or whatever they are called, we have known them for many years, Hihome solves old inconveniences with a Smart Plug.

You can also combine multiple smart plugs in a group so that you can program and operate everything at once. So get rid of those old timers and make your life easier.
And if you are not at home and still want to control or set the lighting, you can. Super handy!
Control your devices with your voice via Google Home Assistant, Amazon Alexa or Apple Siri Shortcuts.

You don't need a Bridge or Gateway, WiFi is 'all you need'.
WiFi is like running water, without it life is not possible. Hihome smart sockets use your WiFi so you don't need a separate box. Pairing is quick and easy. Please note that your WiFi network only transmits 2.4Ghz. Dual band WiFi (2.4+5Ghz) causes unstable connections for most smart devices, which is why Hihome recommends 2.4Ghz only.
