Home Automation is certainly the future. Turning your “dumb” home into a smart one isn’t difficult if you have the right devices. In fact, there’s one device that can make your entire home smarter, or at least help you control your otherwise “dumb” devices more effectively and easily.
What is this magical device, you say? It’s a smart plug, and it can transform the way you interact with the devices and appliances in your home.

One of the essential parts of home automation is Smart Plugs. Smart Plugs can make any dumb appliance into a smart appliance
So let's decode what is a smart Plug? And how does it work?

 What is a Smart Plug?
The smart plug goes into your regular old wall socket and will give you the ability to control it using an app or using voice control through Amazon Alexa and Google Home.

Using an app, you’ll be able to do things like turn off your living room floor lamp even from across town. You will be able to schedule your lights turning on or off. You’ll also be able to get the Air Conditioner started without leaving the comfort of your bed.
How does a Smart Plug Works?
A smart plug basically establishes a connection with your wifi so that a mobile app or a voice assistant is able to send commands using your router. Whenever you give a voice command through Alexa or Google Home the command is sent through the WIFi of your house to the Smart Plug with help of applets coded for a particular device of a particular brand. After the smart plug receives the command through wifi the smart plug either turns on the electrical current to the appliance or turns it off according to the command. Smart Plugs can also communicate with other Home Automation devices with the help of radio frequency integrate with each other to form specific routines. Whenever you schedule a smart plug the schedule is stored in the applet and it sends a command every day to your smart plug at the defined time to turn ON or OFF.

Can Smart Plug Lower my Electricity Bill?
