Smart Home Plug Ecosystems

U-Tec, a leading smart lock company, has recently unveiled its new Smart Plug & Switch, a device that can transform any household appliance into a smart one. The Smart Plug & Switch can be controlled via the U-Tec app or through voice commands with Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Users can also create schedules, timers, and group controls for their devices, as well as monitor their energy consumption and child lock settings. The Smart Plug & Switch is part of U-Tec’s U-home ecosystem, which also includes smart bulbs, smart dimmers, and smart locks, all connected by a WiFi mesh network.

The Smart Plug & Switch is expected to be available in the second quarter of 2024, with a suggested retail price of $29.99 USD for a single pack, $49.99 USD for a two-pack, and $89.99 USD for a four-pack. Customers can join the waitlist on U-Tec’s website to get notified when the product is available again. U-Tec also showcased its Smart Plug & Switch alongside other smart home devices at the CES 2024 event in Las Vegas, Nevada. U-Tec aims to provide customers with a seamless and secure smart home experience that is compatible with Matter, the new connectivity standard for the smart home industry.
