The usage is ∞.

A smart home that controls home appliances with a smartphone or voice. Once you get used to the environment, you will want to make everything smart.

Home appliances that are compatible with smart homes can be made smart easily, but some appliances that are a little old or have single functions are not compatible with smart homes.

Smart plugs can make such non-smart home appliances compatible with smart homes. This time, I will introduce "Gosund JP2" sold at Giz stall.

AC outlet 2 mouth type is rare!

"Gosund JP2" is a smart plug that can be turned on and off via a Wi-Fi connected smartphone app. There are two AC outlets, each of which can be operated independently.

It also supports voice assistants Alexa and Google Assistant, so if you have a compatible smart speaker, you can also operate by voice.

Not only can you turn the power on and off, but you can also make detailed settings from the smartphone app.

For example, you can set a schedule such as "on Monday morning at 8am", "turn off at 2pm on Sunday", "turn on Wednesday at 9am + turn off at 5pm", as well as adjust to the weather and sunrise/sunset times. You can also control power on/off and link with other Gosund products.

You can set it quite flexibly, so you can automatically turn on and off home appliances according to your own life rhythm.

In addition, since the power button is also placed on the smart plug body, it is also possible to physically turn on and off home appliances that do not have a power switch.

When you want to collectively manage the power supply around your desk, such as desk lights and displays, when you want to turn on and off circulators at the same time every day, when you want to run home appliances that do not have timer settings, and when you want to run lights and thermostats such as aquariums on timers. It's convenient for some occasions.

The price is 2990 yen. You don't see many smart plugs with two AC outlets, so if you need one, please check it out!
