Smart Plugs for Remote Operating

smart plugs safer for seniors

Smart plugs transform ordinary devices into smart, easily controllable gadgets. Simply plug a smart plug into an electrical outlet, pair it with your smartphone, and connect a lamp, fan, or any other device that’s either hard to reach or simply more convenient to control remotely. With this setup, you can turn your device on or off with a tap on your phone or set it to follow a custom schedule, similar to a timer or a ‘Shabbos clock.’

Many smart plugs even work with voice activation, adding another layer of convenience. They’re also incredibly useful if someone leaves the house with a device plugged in that should have been turned off—allowing you to power it down remotely. These plugs eliminate the need to manually operate switches, especially for items like lamps, heaters, or fans that might be difficult to access. Plus, you can set them up and control them from a distance with ease.
