Hi, everyone,

Recently I'm look for smart plugs that allow me to control my appliances via my smartphone. I find one as the following.

slideshare.net/H3Platform/application-s ... yasyst-app

It seems this smart plug adopt Wi-Fi for connection, and I can use their APP to remotely control, make on/off schedule, receive messages; it also provides the daily power cost report. I could even share the device with my family.

But, I'm worrying what's the disadvantage of Wi-Fi? Security issue or the reliability of connection? Also, though this one is good, I still want to compare with other product before purchasing.

Could anyone with experiences using similar product give me some suggestions? Or anybody have some suggestions about similar product?

I didn't test/ordered any products yet, but these are the ones I'm currently interested in (price wise).

Broadlink: SP1, SP2
Kankun SP3, mini-k, mini-pro
Crerco Mini-S
EDUP EP-3703
Orvibo S20
Xiaomi Smart Socket
Edimax SP-1101W, SP-2101W
Renkforce BS21 (bluetooth)
Gembird EG-PM1W-001

Main issue now is to get them with EU plug. The other question you might have to ask yourself is if you want a monitoring socket or just a switching one.
