They confuse everywhere, as if they wanted to prove to us who the master is at home. In some cases, the extension cables are important and we cannot do without them, but we can still focus on a smarter variant.
Although, of course, the classic extension will fulfill its basic function, ie it can do electricity where we need it even without mowing into the wall and settling a new drawer, it seems that it begins to knock the dying. There has been a new device that can soon replace it. At least the manufacturers count on it.

Smart extension
Everything that revolves around electricity and especially electronics has been given so -called smart functions in recent years. So why should the extensions stay behind? If you buy at least one, you can rely on a lot of worries. You don’t believe? But yes, even a smart socket on the cable can do a lot.
Remote control
So what is the magic of news on the market: the point is that on one extension cable we find not only more drawers (it would not be a big change), but also ports of USB. These are good properties, but the “smart” function lies mainly in the remote control of such a distributor. Simply via a mobile application, which, like many others, install on your phone, turn it on or off exactly when you need it – regardless of whether you are near or on the other side of the world. Each socket can be operated separately.
For energy saving
In addition, smart distributors allow you to monitor electricity consumption. This is a very beneficial function, because it can (for models of the higher category) learn more about the energy performance of connected devices. Such drawers actually guard your wallet themselves and can be beneficial in trying to protect the environment by electricity savings.
Program the drawers
We said above that we can turn these drawers on and off through the mobile application. This is one option. The second is programming with timing. Simply put, you set the time when the socket should turn on and the device starts to operate. When will you use such a function? It’s up to you and your needs.
Overvoltage
An important feature that will help protect your appliances from damage, or complete destruction with sudden changes in voltage, is overvoltage protection. The best known case is the intervention of leadership in a storm, which has already caused much damage, but anything else can become. The smart socket, or if you want the energy distributor, here is, among other things, from protecting you unexpectedly necessary expenses.
Siri, turn on the socket …
Have you used to use voice assistants such as Siri, Alexa and the like in your home? Then there is no problem to choose and buy a smart socket that is able to work with this technology. They are also on the market and will bring you more comfort. Will you think about such options?
