The aforementioned button has the role of physically turning the device On or OFF, but it also plays a key role in the installation process: when you’re pairing the plug to the app, the LED on top of the button will flash blue, when it’s connected, it will become solid red and, in case the LED doesn’t flash blue (before attempting to pair the device to the app), you can press and hold the button until it once again starts to flash blue. It’s also worth noting that the case is made of a flame-resistant material, so, in case things go seriously wrong, you do get an additional level of protection. The Gosund Smart Plug features a circular small form-factor case, measuring 2.1 x 1.9 x 1.1 inches, so there’s a high chance that it won’t cover adjacent outlets – Gosund has also released a separate version for the European market which functions in the same manner, but looks different: instead of the small circular shape, we got a rectangular device (with rounded corners) which is slightly bit larger than the US device, measuring 3.14 x 2.55 x 2.75 inches and, for this reason alone, it will most likely cover an additional outlet.įurthermore, both versions are covered by a white matte finish (which doesn’t retain fingerprints) and both feature a large circular button on the top or right side of the case (depending on the acquired version). So, while some devices that received the ‘smart’ treatment may not be that essential (such as a crockpot or a scale?), the smart plug has an important place within a smart home. The obvious application is to simply turn Off or On the electricity towards a specific device, be it a lamp or a kettle, but, because of its IoT integration, you can also use voice commands (and not only using the app) to enable or disable certain devices (smart or non-smart).
