ANTELA Smart Plug with Energy Monitoring, Alexa Voice Control, 2,4GHz WiFi Plug, Smart Life APP Wireless Remote Control and Timer Function, Work with Alexa and Google Home, 13A (4 Packs)

The ANTELA Smart Plug is a handy, affordable way to add both remote control and real-time power tracking to your appliances. Setup through the Smart Life app is straightforward, and integration with Alexa or Google Home works reliably. Once connected, you can turn devices on or off from anywhere, schedule them to run at certain times, and see how much electricity they’re using. Energy monitoring is surprisingly useful: you can spot “phantom loads” from devices left on standby and identify which gadgets are drawing the most power. For small to medium appliances (lamps, routers, TVs, chargers, coffee machines, etc.), the plug performs well and feels safe. There are a few trade-offs: it only supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (no 5 GHz), the consumption data isn’t laboratory-grade accurate, and very high-load or continuous-draw appliances may push its limits. But for normal household use, it’s solid. Bottom line: the ANTELA Smart Plug with Energy Monitor gives you reliable app and voice control plus helpful energy tracking at a very reasonable price. Great for anyone starting out with smart home gear or trying to cut down on electricity use.

I have now got eight of these fantastic little devices. Amazon is awash with 'smart plugs' however most of them are cheap and nasty, don't last, work intermittently etc. I've tried many of them however, finding these Antela plugs was a revelation. From the moment you take them out of the box, you can feel how solid and well made they are. Setup is super simple, download the Smart Home app, plug them in, and let them be discovered by the system. It’s that easy. Where these plugs really come into their own is the information they provide. Each one shows you the Current Consumption (mA), Power (W), Voltage (V) and total power usage (KWh) in real time. The total power consumption is stored by Month and by Day so you can go back and look at this historically as well. If you are running Home Assistant or any other home automation software, these plugs easily integrate straight into that, and all the data is available to the system. I run Home Assistant and everything in the house is controlled and monitored. These plugs make it simple and cheap to add in any piece of equipment that isn’t ‘connected’ to be controlled and monitored just if it’s mains powered. So, for instance, I have one of these connected to the Tumble Dryer so I can see just how much it’s costing to run. In summary, I can’t fault these amazing little plugs. They are worth every penny, superb quality, simple to use and do a brilliant job. I love them!

Cheap and very quick and easy to get connected. The only downside I find is the one I have in my kitchen doesn’t manage to pickup the Wi-Fi signal so it constantly drops out and for the past few weeks has not managed to update the energy usage. It is quite far from the router so I won’t actually dock points for this, most Wi-Fi devices don’t pickup the signal in there other than my phone and my RasPi. The app is great, fast and easy to use. The day by day energy monitoring is also superb. Only thing I really would like to see added is a safety lock feature in the advanced settings of the device. A little toggle switch to disable the main on off button from the main tile menu, and the dedicated device page. I have my computer plugged in to one of these so I can monitor the power usage, and I feel it’s only a matter of time before I accidentally turn off the wrong device. If they can fix that and also have the device store power usage data and update the app on next connection, then I would up this to 5/5 stars. For now though it gets a strong 4. Will likely buy more of these in the future if I find a need for them.

Works with Alexa and Home Assistant to manage and monitor power and energy consumption as well as turning devices on and off. Easy to install and much better value than the ones available in DIY stores.

These are excellent, really easy to set up, work well with google home. I have my straighteners on one so I can check when I've left the house that I've switched then off..I always panic so its a great comfort

These smart plugs are brilliant. Downloaded the app, plugged them in one by one and went through instructions and away I went. Not only can you set up on a time basis, you can remotely turn them on/off if you're out longer than planned. And you can check the power output.

Really pleased with these sockets. Easy link to the application and the energy monitoring is very useful.

Will buy some more at some stage , recommended

Work perfectly. Very happy
