Product detailed description

Aeotec SmartThings Zigbee Outlet (Type F)

Turn any dumb appliance—whether it's a standing lamp, a fan, or a coffee machine—into a smart device in seconds. The Aeotec SmartThings Outlet represents the simplest upgrade for your smart home ecosystem. This specific model is Type F (Schuko), meaning it features side grounding clips rather than a central grounding pin, making it perfect for modern European Schuko plugs.

Energy Monitoring and App Control

Beyond the basic ability to turn devices on or off remotely using your smartphone, this plug gives you deep insight into your electricity consumption. It continuously monitors the wattage drawn by the plugged-in appliance and visualizes the energy usage directly within the SmartThings app. You can create schedules to automatically turn off power-hungry entertainment centers at night to save on standby electricity costs.

Zigbee 3.0 Signal Repeater

The plug communicates via the Zigbee 3.0 protocol. Because it is permanently plugged into mains power, it inherently functions as a Zigbee network repeater. This dramatically boosts the overall range and stability of your mesh network, helping battery-powered sensors (like motion or door sensors) communicate flawlessly even if they are located far away from the main hub.

Technical Specifications:

• Socket Standard: Type F (Schuko, no center pin).
• Core Functions: Remote ON/OFF switching and real-time energy monitoring.
• Wireless Protocol: Zigbee 3.0 (acts as a network range extender/repeater).
