The relay can be used to switch power sockets and devices connected to them such as table lamps, TVs and other appliances on and off, either at will, a specific schedule or in response to a sensor input. The relay is fitted by connecting it to your existing wiring and placed inside the electrical outlet box itself. It can support one or two power sockets.

With a relay you can:

• Control lamps or appliances that are plugged into the outlet with your smartphone
• Trigger the object connected to turn on or off when other events take place; such as a door opening or someone arriving or leaving a room or house
• Restrict kids access to TVs or games consoles to specific times of the day
• Save energy by connecting it to your water heaters and having them come on in time for your morning shower
