Smart Plug Energy Monitoring Guide

Energy-monitoring smart plugs help you see which plug-in appliances are actually using power. They are useful for heaters, dehumidifiers, desks, chargers, lamps and everyday appliances.

WiFi or Zigbee?

WiFi smart plugs are usually simpler for casual users because they connect through an app without a separate hub. Zigbee smart plugs make more sense if you already use a Zigbee hub or Home Assistant coordinator.

Check the load

Always check the appliance rating before using a smart plug with higher-load devices. The right smart socket is about safety and suitability, not just app control.
