Adding Alexa compatible smart plugs to your smart home system is one of the most efficient, cost-effective, and simple ways to upgrade a smart home system. If you have a Wiser smart heating network, integrating Alexa compatible smart plugs into it couldn’t be easier. What Can You Do With Alexa Smart Plugs?

When supplying power to the electrical appliance connected to it, the smart plug will illuminate it’s blue LED and when not supplying power, the LED will be off. The Wiser smart plugs offer the ultimate smart home convenience; when you are away from home, you can still control what goes on within your own four walls from a completely different location. They also work with your Alexa products.Powered by two AA batteries, the smart thermostat can be freestanding on a table or shelf, or mounted on a wall. It has three touch controls on the front. The plus and minus button allow you to adjust the desired temperature of the room, while the middle button boosts the heating in said room by two degrees. The screen automatically goes to sleep after 15 seconds to conserve the battery, but pressing any of the three touch controls will wake it up. When the plug is off, the on/off button will be light grey and the smart plug will not provide power to the electrical appliance connected to it. The final component, the smart radiator thermostat, is a white plastic cylinder, which fit to the radiator once the existing valve has been unscrewed. To manually override any schedules you may have set, simply swivel the top of the radiator thermostat right to start the radiator heating, or left to stop heating. An LED on the radiator thermostat glows red temporarily when the radiator is heating, and blue if it's been turned off. Turning and holding the radiator thermostat will also reset or put it into set-up mode, depending upon how long you hold it in that position. You can access your smart plugs on the home screen. They will appear in whichever rooms you assigned them to during set up. The Heat Hub is a rectangular box with two buttons. One button activates the set-up process, while the other starts the whole system heating. LEDs above the buttons glow green when these options are active. The Heat Hub should be screwed to the wall next to your boiler. The square smart thermostat has a two-inch screen that shows the current temperature of the room it’s in, as well as the desired temperature. It also displays the relative humidity and battery level, and features a flame icon to indicate if the heating is switched on.

We also found it was easy to create some basic automations in the app using the Moments feature - such as turning the radiators in the lounge on, while also dimming the map connected to the Wiser smart plug to create a cozy atmosphere of an evening. App The possibility of what you can do with Alexa compatible smart plugs is endless, and features are growing rapidly – no more having to wait until you’re home to boil the kettle or warm your house up. They might look like an ordinary adaptor or extension lead, but they can do so much more, connecting to your wifi and letting you manage your gadgets from an app on your phone. Thanks to a new update of the Wiser Smart App you can now get real-time updades on the wattage passing through the Smart Plug! Perfect for those looking to accurately monitor your home’s energy expenditure and save costs by maximising the use of energy efficient products and reducing stand-by energy wastage. These smart radiator thermostats replace the TRVs (thermostatic radiator valves) on your radiator, the type that let you adjust the temperature of the radiator manually. If you don’t have TRVs then you’ll need to bear the cost of changing your current valves to TRVs on top of the cost of the smart heating system. There’s no denying the radiator thermostats are bulkier than TRVs, but we found we didn’t notice them as much as we expected to.From the home screen, you can also view the weather for your location and sunrise and sunset times, too. The cog icon at the top of the home screen provides access to the main Settings menu, from where you can activate smart modes such as Eco and Comfort, and set a temperature for the Away mode. Drayton Wiser may be functional, but its plain all-white plastic design certainly isn’t stylish. If you prefer gadgets that make a design statement, this isn’t the smart thermostat for you. When the plug is ON, the on/off button will be displayed in green beside the plug and the smart plug will provide power to the electrical appliance connected to it. We did notice a slight delay of around 10 seconds to one minute between boosting the heating from both the radiator thermostat or the app and the boiler springing into action. The further away from the Heat Hub the thermostat is, the longer the delay. Initially, we also struggled to get the radiator thermostat in the room furthest from the Heat Hub to remain connected to the system at all times. It would often drop the signal, meaning we were unable to control it via the app. However, after installing an optional Wiser Smart Plug – which also doubles as a range extender for the system – in a room between the Heat Hub and the troublesome radiator thermostat, connection issues were no longer a problem. They also have the added benefit of a built-in signal range extender, automatically boosting the signal of all nearby Drayton Wiser devices. Our Verdict:
