EnglishThe general WiFi smart socket is composed of a physical button module, which is responsible for physically directly controlling the socket switch, reconfiguring the network, etc.; It can control the socket; the relay module is responsible for controlling the 220V high-voltage on-off part. The maximum current seen on the smart socket is 10A and 16A. This parameter generally refers to the maximum current allowed by the relay module.
Power consumption analysis of smart sockets
I believe that one of the starting points for many people to buy smart sockets is that smart sockets can turn off home appliances in time to save electricity and money. So how many people will notice the power consumption of the smart socket itself?
The power consumption of the smart socket itself is still very low. When the socket is closed, it is only a few tenths of watts. After the socket is turned on, the power consumption will be a little higher than when the socket is closed. It should be the power consumption of the relay and LED indicator at this time. When the socket is turned on and off, there will be instantaneous power consumption. In a higher case, it should be the extra power consumption of the WiFi module that needs to send status messages to the server.
At the same time, it can be seen from the power consumption performance of two smart sockets in different ecosystems: the power consumption of smart sockets of different brands is quite different. Although the power consumption is very low, one is 0.15W when the socket is turned off, and one is 0.278W, which is twice as high.
