5. 1. Getting Started
About Smart The Smart Plug is a smart device which allows you to monitor the energy
usage and control the device remotely by making them a part of Home Area
Plug Network (HAN). It connects to the existing power line and allows other
devices to be connected to it which needs to be controlled remotely.
It does not require any extra cables to connect the other device. It provides
easy interface to connect with the eCommander for controlling and
monitoring the device energy usage.
Prior to installing Smart Plug, take the following precautions:
• Use it in indoor or in a insulated and weatherproof electrical box only
• Don't plug it into an outlet controlled by a switch because if the switch is
inadvertently turned off, it will not have the power
• Be sure the device you want to control is working and that the device's
built-in switch is in OFF position
• Do not use Smart Plug to control devices that is used for human or animal
safety or life support
Installing the Smart Plug presents you with an elegant and stylish way to remotely control
any plug-in device in your home. See Figure 1-1.
