Setup Brew coffee or boil the kettle on a wake-up schedule
A smart plug turns your kettle or coffee maker on at wake-up time, no appliance timer required. Here's the trigger, the safety check, and the setup steps.
Setup
Setup Get notified when the fridge door is left open
A door sensor and a timed automation can alert you the moment the fridge or freezer is left open too long, before food spoils or energy is wasted.
Setup
Setup Turn on the range hood automatically when you start cooking
A sensor or a stove-on signal can switch the range hood on the moment cooking starts, and off again once the air clears, without anyone reaching for a separate, often noisy control.
Setup
Start the slow cooker remotely before you get home
Load the slow cooker in the morning, then trigger it on a schedule or a geofence so dinner's ready when you walk in, without leaving a heating appliance running unattended all day.
