Smart outlets in security systems

Intelligent outlets are increasingly being used as additional devices to security systems. Smart outlets increase the comfort of using electrical appliances and reduce energy consumption.

The principle of operation of a smart outlet

An effective way to save on electricity consumption is to install a smart outlet. The devices are inexpensive, equipped with unique electronic systems, which conventional sockets with a voltage of about 220 V can become more functional. With an intelligent socket for the safety system, the user can coordinate and control the flow of electricity, often with a mobile application from the manufacturer. After installing such a device, the user becomes able to control electronics and appliances remotely.Smart electrical outlets often monitor energy consumption and measure its amount. One of the advantages of devices of this type is the ease of installation and further use. An overlay must be installed on the contact located on the surface. In this way, intelligent electrical outlets control the power consumption and the leading devices in the room.

How to choose an intelligent outlet

There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a smart security outlet:

• In electrical outlets, it is essential to be able to set the device to turn on and off automatically at a selected time, such as a TV or lighting fixture after dark.
• It is worth paying attention to not the cheapest models because the possibilities of such species are much less, and hence variations in energy savings.
• The form of socket connection is another important criterion for choosing a smart socket. In more modern models, this connection is via the home Internet or Wi-Fi. A device that can be operated outside the home is the most convenient. Smartphone-controlled smart socket models on a smartphone, for example, allow you to track the current power consumption of specific devices, remotely turn them on and off.

 The use of intelligent sockets in the alarm system can increase the safety of electronics and household appliances on the premises. Most models of sockets are equipped with a temperature sensor that warns of overheating, which means — possible damage to the device connected to the mains. You should also buy a model that has the option to control each type of lighting fixture. This is a convenient option for using an intelligent outlet, especially in the absence of owners in a protected room.An intelligent outlet should show power consumption statistics. In the advanced versions, you can determine the frequency of reporting and data collection, for example, once a day, once a week, month or quarter.

Smart Ajax Socket (type F) in the security system

Ajax Socket is a radio-controlled smart socket with a built-in energy meter. Structurally, it is an adapter socket-plug of the European type (Schuko type F), which allows you to control the power supply of devices with a total load of up to 2.5 kW. It is provided with protection against the counter of power consumption, an overload and an indication of the level of loading. Ajax is connected to the security system using a secure Jeweler radio protocol, with a communication range of up to 1000 meters in the absence of interference to the control panel. The operation of an intelligent outlet does not depend on the Wi-Fi signal in the room. Ajax Socket continues to work without a stable Internet.According to automation scenarios or at the user's command, the smart Ajax Socket switches on and off the power supply via the Ajax mobile application. With the help of Socket, you can control the equipment remotely: turn on and off the lights, start air conditioning and appliances.Socket protects the equipment from damage that causes power problems. The smart socket automatically switches on the power supply if the voltage drops or rises to a critical level if the device exceeds the proper current parameters or overheats. Notifications of all events are sent to security users via SMS or push messages to the owner's mobile phone.The intelligent socket for the Ajax Socket security system is easy to use: the colour LED indicates the load level, while the device consumes less than 1 W⋅h in standby mode. The Socket case is compact and does not cover adjacent slots in sockets, which allows the use of all connectors of the splitter or line filter. The so-called protection against children is provided — notable curtains close the sockets with contacts, blocking the access of foreign objects, and protecting the device from splashes and dust.Socket only works with the Ajax Hub and connects to the security system in a few steps in the Ajax application. Joining uartBridge or ocBridge is not supported. The Ajax Socket (type F) smart socket is protected against forgery and sabotage.
