Make Ordinary Appliances Smart with the frient Smart Cable

Turn off your appliances and save money—meet the frient Smart Cable. Imagine having a device that constantly monitors your electrical appliances and helps you control them remotely. A device that shows you exactly how much electricity you're paying for and paves the way for a 'greener' everyday life.

Energy Tracker and Remote Switch (16A) in One

This innovative smart cable combines two functions into one neat package: an extremely accurate energy consumption meter and a remote-controlled relay (switch). How does it work? Simply splice the frient Smart Cable into the power cord of an electric radiator, fan, boiler, or any other high-power electrical appliance.

The cable communicates via the Zigbee 3.0 protocol, allowing it to easily pair with your smart home gateway (such as Homey or the Aeotec SmartThings Hub). Through the app, you instantly get a clear picture of how many Watts your appliance is draining. Simultaneously, you gain the ability to turn the appliance on or off remotely or incorporate it into advanced timers and routines.
