smart outlet

App-controlled power point

A smart outlet is an electrical outlet that can be controlled remotely, typically through a smartphone app or voice assistant.

Smart outlets allow users to turn devices on or off, set schedules, and monitor energy usage without physically touching the outlet: I put the Christmas lights on a smart outlet so they turn on at sunset.

Most connect via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
