We've had lots of requests for a UK variant of a LoRaWAN® Smart Plug. Up until now, these have been hard to come by... make way for the new NKE UK LoRaWAN® Smart Plug! Now it's here, we'd like to share some of the key features and benefits of this hotly anticipated LoRaWAN® sensor with you.

What is the NKE Smart Plug?

Typically speaking, a Smart Plug is a small adapter that is plugged into a regular electrical wall outlet. Smart Plugs enable you to remotely control connected devices or appliances.

The NKE Smart Plug connects to a public or private LoRaWAN® network to enable you to remotely control connected devices. It also monitors power consumption and power quality measurements such as average/min/max voltage (rms/peak) and frequency.

Uses of Remote Control Plugs

There are many uses for remote control plugs. The NKE Smart Plug is CE certified and is ideal for both domestic and commercial environments. Some example use cases include:

• Remotely manage the operation of common household electrical appliances
• Identify areas for improving energy efficiencies
• Reduce carbon footprints in large office environments by identifying and remotely controlling equipment which may be left running
• Save money on energy bills in empty premises where appliances may still be connected to power
• Remotely schedule the hours you want devices to be connected to power with remote power scheduling
