8 Innovative Ways to Use a PhoneWatch Smart Plug Today

PhoneWatch offer smart plugs as an add-on to the smart home alarm system to make life more convenient and safer from burglary and fire.

Here are 8 ways to use a smart plug from PhoneWatch in your day to day life:

1. Control appliances remotely
   

   Turn devices on or off remotely using your smartphone. This is handy for managing appliances, lights, or other electronics when you're away from home.

2. Schedule automation routines
   

   Set up schedules for your devices to turn on or off at specific times. For example, you can schedule your coffee maker to start brewing in the morning or turn off lights when you're not at home to save energy.

3. Enhance home security

   Create the illusion that someone is at home by randomly turning on and off lights or other devices while you're away. This can enhance home security by deterring potential intruders. Burglaries occur most often when a burglar believes a house to be unoccupied.

4. Program regular morning routines
   

   Have your coffee maker or kettle turn on automatically in the morning, ensuring that your hot beverage is ready when you wake up. If you leave for work and are afraid you left the heater on, if it’s connected to the smart plug, you can switch it off without heading back home.

5. Temperature Control
   

   If you have a connected heater or fan, you can use the smart plug to remotely control the temperature in a room.

6. Enforce parental controls
   

   Manage the usage of electronic devices by scheduling when they can be used or remotely turning them off. This can be particularly useful for parents looking to enforce screen time limits.

7. Manage Christmas lighting
   

   Easily control and schedule your holiday lights, making it simple to decorate and celebrate without having to manually plug and unplug lights.

8. Integrate with the Smart Home Alarm System
   

   The PhoneWatch smart plug can integrate with the overall PhoneWatch smart home alarm system. This allows you to control everything from the app.
