Aftermarket DIYer Smart Plugs

The Satechi Dual Smart Outlet Upgrades Electrical without Hardwiring

— June 28, 2019 — Tech
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.
Trend Themes
1. Aftermarket Smart Plugs - As more homes get smart upgrades, there's a growing need for affordable and accessible aftermarket smart plugs that are easily installed.
2. DIY Smart Home Upgrades - More people are looking to add smart functionality to their homes without having to hire a professional for installations, creating opportunities for easy-to-install DIY smart home products.
3. Energy Usage Monitoring - As smart home technology becomes more widespread, there's a growing focus on energy efficiency and ways to monitor and reduce energy usage, creating opportunities for products that can help consumers track and manage their energy use.
Industry Implications
1. Home Improvement Retail - With the rise of DIY smart home upgrades, home improvement stores have the opportunity to expand their offerings to include a wider range of smart home products and provide support for customers looking to DIY.
2. Smart Home Technology - As more consumers adopt smart home technology, there are opportunities for companies to create even more accessible and affordable products that can integrate with existing systems to provide a more integrated smart home experience.
3. Energy Monitoring and Management - With a growing focus on energy efficiency and reducing energy consumption, companies specializing in energy monitoring and management systems can provide products that help homeowners easily monitor their energy use and make adjustments to be more efficient.
