When choosing a smart GPO or Wi-Fi power point, check the individual product specifications for current rating, number of outlets, USB charging capabilities, indoor or outdoor suitability, Wi-Fi requirements and smart-home compatibility.
Fixed mains electrical power points should be installed or replaced by a suitably licensed electrician in accordance with applicable Australian electrical requirements.
How to Choose a Smart Wi-Fi Power Point
When choosing a smart Wi-Fi power point, consider the type of outlet, current rating, number of sockets, USB requirements, smart-home compatibility and intended installation location.
1. Choose the outlet configuration
Decide whether you need a single, double or other outlet configuration. A double smart GPO can provide smart control for multiple connected appliances, depending on the individual product design.
2. Check the current rating
Check the product's rated current before connecting an appliance. If you require a 15A outlet, select a model specifically rated for 15A rather than assuming all smart power points have the same rating.
3. Consider USB charging
Some smart power points include USB charging ports, including models with USB-A or USB-C connections. Check the individual specifications for the available USB ports and charging output.
4. Check smart-home compatibility
If you use a smart-home platform, check that the power point is compatible with the required app or voice assistant. Selected models support platforms such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home.
5. Consider monitoring and automation
If you want more than basic ON/OFF control, look for products that support features such as appliance status monitoring, current monitoring, timers or scene automation.
6. Check indoor or outdoor suitability
For outdoor installations, choose a smart power point specifically designed and rated for outdoor use. Check the product's waterproof or weather-resistant specifications before installation.
7. Check installation requirements
Check the product dimensions, wiring requirements, electrical rating and mounting requirements before purchasing. Fixed mains electrical power points should be installed by a suitably licensed electrician in accordance with applicable Australian electrical requirements.
What Is a Smart Wi-Fi Power Point?
A smart Wi-Fi power point is a mains-powered electrical outlet with built-in smart connectivity, allowing compatible appliances to be controlled remotely through a smartphone, tablet or smart-home system. Unlike a standard power point, a smart Wi-Fi GPO can provide additional features such as remote ON/OFF control, scheduling, timers and automation.
Depending on the model, smart Wi-Fi power points may also support Amazon Alexa or Google Home voice control, appliance status monitoring and electrical current or power monitoring. Some models include additional USB charging ports, while others are available as single, double or higher-capacity outlets.
Smart power points connect to a compatible Wi-Fi network and can generally be controlled through the manufacturer's app. Product requirements vary, so check the individual specifications for Wi-Fi frequency, app compatibility, electrical rating, wiring requirements and supported smart-home platforms before purchasing.
Smart Wi-Fi power points are useful for applications such as controlling lamps, fans and other compatible appliances, setting automatic schedules, or checking whether an outlet is switched on or off. Selected models can also help monitor the electrical load of connected appliances.
A smart Wi-Fi power point is different from a smart plug. A smart power point is a fixed wall-mounted GPO, whereas a smart plug is a plug-in device that adds smart functionality to an existing conventional power outlet.
Fixed mains electrical power points should be installed or replaced by a suitably licensed electrician in accordance with applicable Australian electrical requirements.
