Electrical timers have always been a great way to automate devices on a schedule. When compared to modern smart plugs, however, the newer devices are much more sophisticated and allow devices to be controlled remotely, with variability, and to coordinate with other sensors. For older adults who may have mobility limitations or who are at risk of falling, when used with voice control (e.g. Amazon's Alexa or Google Assistant) to operate lights or small appliances, smart plugs are a way to provide convenience and safety measures that can help sustain their independence.
TP-Link, a leading manufacturer of smart devices, offers a variety of feature-rich smart plugs that include flexible scheduling, power usage monitoring, home automation, and voice control. What sets TP-Link’s smart plugs apart from their competition is their ability to easily mesh with other home automation devices. This ensures that rooms are well-lit only when occupied, a room heater isn’t inadvertently left on, or when someone rings the doorbell a lamp may flash to alert them of someone’s presence.
TP-Link smart plugs are easy to set up, are compatible with most electrical devices in your home, and can be controlled with any smart device (by schedule, on-demand, or voice control). The smart plugs are also inexpensive, allowing you to start with a single plug and then build complexity as your needs expand. Most importantly though, for older adults, TP-Link smart plugs can make managing their home easier, safer, and more comfortable.
