Modest, but, perhaps, nothing more is required to supply such an outlet, except perhaps an adapter, the purchase of which should be taken care of in advance.

Xiaomi devices are designed for the domestic market only, so the plug may not match the standard of your socket. But, nevertheless, according to the characteristics of the built-in power supply, the socket is universal and can function in any country.

Appearance

Considering that the Xiaomi Mi Smart Power Plug is intended for stationary use, the dimensions do not play a big role. I can’t help but note the overall compactness of the device compared to other competing gadgets. The dimensions of the socket are 63 x 55 x 35 mm.

At the moment, the Xiaomi smart plug occupies the status of the most compact gadget with such functionality. The socket body is entirely made of high-quality, pleasant-to-touch glossy white plastic, which is difficult to see flaws in. The back surface is slightly darker and the plastic is rougher.

There are few functional elements on the body of the Xiaomi Mi Smart Power Plug - this is a universal connector for the plug of any powered device, as well as an on/off key at the end.

Below you can see USB port. On the front, in addition to the universal socket socket, there is a light indicator that notifies you of the presence of external power, the activity of the Wi-Fi module and the supply of electricity.

Applications and software

Having connected the Xiaomi Mi Smart Power Plug to the mains, it must be connected to the smartphone using the Mi Home application recommended by the manufacturer. The attached instructions contain a QR-Code for downloading this application. If, when connected, the blue LED on the socket lights up, this means that the connection was successful (there are no problems with the setup).

The main idea of ​​the Xiaomi Mi Smart Power Plug is the ability to remotely control the power of any device connected to the network. When your smartphone or tablet is connected to the Internet, you can remotely turn the outlet on and off, and it’s easy to see what mode the gadget is in. If your smartphone or tablet is outside the network coverage area, but you know exactly when you need to turn on the outlet, you can set a timer for convenience.

Thanks to customizable profiles, it is possible to set different modes for turning on and off the outlet. For example, when you come home, your smartphone connects to your router and at the same time the socket automatically turns on and supplies power to the USB output - this allows you to save extra time without additional costly gestures.
