Stop Paying for "Off" Devices.
Smart Plugs Pay for Themselves.
Your TV draws 12W when "off." Your gaming console: 15W. The cable box: 20W. Standby power costs the average household $230/year. Smart plugs cut it to zero — automatically, with scheduling, and from your phone.
🔌 What Smart Plugs Do:
- Measure exact wattage of any plugged-in device
- Turn devices on/off automatically on schedule
- Kill standby power with one tap or voice command
- Track monthly cost per device
- Group multiple plugs into "scenes" (e.g., "Bedtime" kills everything)
