Smart sockets as part of a security system

Increasingly, household appliances are used to automate the space we are used to. A smart plug is one of such devices. Smart sockets differ from ordinary sockets in advanced functionality. Such a device can activate or turn off a connected, for example, floor lamp, remotely. Smart sockets are used to turn on household appliances, a light source, control heating and other things.

How smart plug works

The smart socket is installed in an existing electrical network, connected via various protocols to the control panel of a smart home or security system, and works in accordance with the scenario chosen by the user of the system. Some sockets collect information about energy consumption, and some calculate the cost of electricity spent. Many smart sockets also have short circuit protection - if the electricity goes out, they can save household appliances, and sometimes they can save the house from emergencies.

Smart socket from Ajax — Socket Plus (type G)

Socket Plus (type G) is a smart socket that counts energy consumption. It has protection against sparks and electric arcs. A smart socket controls the power of connected electrical appliances with a power of up to 3 kW. This happens with the help of the Ajax application, the ability to configure automation scenarios, a functional button on the device body, and the control of the Button button. Has a British standard (type G) connector and plug. The smart socket has four types of protection: voltage, current, temperature, and against sparks and electric arcs.

The protection works instantly if an arc or spark appears in the device connected to the outlet.

Features of a smart socket from Ajax

Smart socket Socket Plus (type G) is a device that is part of the Ajax security system. The device controls the power supply to the connected electrical appliances by opening the phase. Smart plug control is available through pressing a functional button, through Ajax applications, with a Button control button, or by scripts. The Socket Plus smart socket measures the value of current, voltage, active power and the amount of energy consumed by connected electrical appliances. With the Socket Plus (type G) smart socket, the user can set up automation scripts that help reduce routine actions, automate security and increase room comfort. Socket Plus (type G) supports the following types of scenarios: Reaction to a change in the security mode, for example, turning off the iron when the security is activated.

• Response to an alarm, for example, turning on the light on the alarm of the DoorProtect sensor.
• Scheduled actions, such as heating on at 19:00 and off at 21:00.
• By temperature, for example, turning on the air conditioner if the room temperature exceeds or falls below the comfort level.
• By pressing the control button.
• By humidity, for example, turning on the humidifier when the relative humidity drops below a comfortable level.
• By pressing the LightSwitch. For example, to turn off all electrical appliances when the lights are turned off.
• According to the CO2 concentration, the inclusion of supply ventilation with an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide.

Humidity and CO2 scenarios are available if the security system has a LifeQuality air control sensor. You can turn on and off electrical appliances that are connected to a Socket Plus (type G) smart socket using Ajax applications. Metrics about the network, power and consumption can be viewed there. This allows system users to view network performance at any time. The presence of a function button on a smart plug allows you to control the power supply to connected devices without an application, scripts and a control button. The Socket Plus (type G) smart socket works as part of the Ajax security system and communicates with the control panel via the Jeweller secure radio protocol. Thanks to the protocol, the communication range is up to 1100 meters in the absence of obstacles. The Jeweller radio protocol supports floating-key block encryption and device authentication during each communication session. This principle of operation helps to prevent sabotage or substitution of the device.

Installing a smart socket Socket Plus (type G) from Ajax

Before installing a smart socket, you need to make sure that the installation location is the best place and that it complies with the instructions. During installation and operation, it is important to adhere to the general safety rules for the use of electrical appliances, as well as the requirements of regulatory legal acts on electrical safety. In order to install a Socket Plus (type G) smart socket, you need to select the socket into which the Socket Plus (type G) will be installed and insert the Socket Plus (type G) into the socket.

Socket Plus (type G) is activated within 3 seconds after connection. The green illumination of the device will indicate the inclusion.

When choosing a location for installing Socket Plus (type G), you need to take into account the signal level of the Jeweller radio protocol. It is determined by the number of undelivered or corrupted data packets that are exchanged between the socket and the security control panel or signal repeater in a certain period of time. Where you do not need to install a smart outlet:

• Near metal objects or mirrors. They shield the radio signal and cause it to attenuate.
• Locations with poor or unstable signal strength. This can result in loss of communication between the control panel or signal repeater and the smart plug.
• An outdoor installation can lead to a breakdown of the device or its incorrect operation.
• In rooms with humidity and temperature that are out of range.
