Hardwired smart plugs are being integrated into many new build homes and becoming more popular with the average consumer, so the Satechi Dual Smart Outlet is designed as an aftermarket alternative for any space.
The unit works by being plugged into any existing electrical outlet and instantly splitting it into two that are both connected to your home network. This allows users to seamlessly control them via their smartphone to activate them on-demand or even keep an eye on energy usage to ensure they don't keep items that passively burn a lot of electricity plugged in.
The Satechi Dual Smart Outlet is designed to work with Apple HomeKit, which will enable users to set up specific schedules, scenarios or even activate the plugs using the Siri voice assistant.
