Ajax Smart Socket. What can you not know about sockets? This is something from the Smart Home and Automation sector. I would even say it’s an uninterruptible power supply, a smart home and automation device, an energy consumption saver, a remote switch, and… let’s get to review.
Ajax Socket
What you’re gonna find within the box is simply the exact socket and a little user’s manual. And regarding the design, Ajax declares it is kid-friendly due to a shutter on a foreground, it’s not the exact current conductor inside, as we know, the kids are attracted to things that glow. Because when we plug this one in, it glows
Why Do You Need It?
Let’s talk about the specs it has. Ajax Socket can turn on and off devices with the ease of a button push in the app. And on their website, they say it lets you remain on a couch. Convenience. And also switching the system to night mode turns the connected devices via the socket off too, meaning it has some scenarios integrated. And I always wanted to manage such scenarios on my own, and finally, Ajax Systems announces it is going to happen within an upcoming update.
Also, if we’re talking about Automation, when you leave your home and arm your system, every high-energy-consuming and dangerous appliance will be automatically switched off, which, in the end, decreases the energy bill at the end of the month. The LED indication. The LED, surrounding internal border, shows the load level by means of color. Here’s an approximate lightning scheme below, where the yellow is about five hundred and fifty watts, orange is twelve hundred fifty watts, and the rest, meaning you can always see what’s overloading your energy source.
And it won’t let it go over plus eighty-five Celsius or one hundred eighty-five Fahrenheit, cause this is where it’s locked, and the socket turns off automatically if the temperature is exceeded. Let’s sum up.
| Load level | Indication |
| No power on the Socket | Don’t have any indication |
| The socket turned off | Blue |
| Socket turned on, no load | Green |
| ~550 W | Yellow |
| ~1250 W | Orange |
| ~2000 W | Red |
| ~2500 W | Dark red |
| ~3000 W | Purple |
| One or more defenses triggered | Smoothly lights up and goes out red |
| Hardware failure | Quick red flashes |
Activation & Connection
Conclusion
The tiny device that lets you control your appliance’s energy consumption remotely lets you switch on and off any connected appliances via the socket, and displays which appliance overloads the power source and consumes too much energy. Automation, scenarios, and increased life comfort.
