Smart plugs are a great place to start. If we decide to buy a remote plug, we don’t need smart bulbs or smart appliances. With a smart plug, we will never have to worry again that we left something plugged in. It’s doesn’t matter if it’s an iron, a curling iron or a light fixture. If we have smart plugs in our home, we can turn them off remotely through an app. The app is also giving us measurements of electricity consumption.
