You can use it to conveniently turn on your appliances remotely before you get home or to conveniently time your on/off. You can also monitor the power consumption of connected devices to save energy and money.
The Zigbee smart connector can switch a total of up to 16A of current, so you can control higher-power loads (up to 3680W).
