Smart Plug adapters from Power Move - what do you use them for?

Anyone get any of the energy saving kits?

The smart sockets /plug adapters in particular.. do you use them?

What do you use them for .. or are they in a drawer somewhere?

    Interesting conversation starter @Buzby! 😊 

     

    Hi @Emmanuelle_OVO 

    I think they generally help to reduce overall energy usage, however their direct impact on power move is probably minimal. Some plugs do turn on from 15:30 to 16:00, so they act as a reminder to boil the kettle or toast the teacakes before 16:00. I can generally see a small spike in demand in the 15:30 slot, and then a drop-off. We now tend to leave the TV off until around 18:30 for the local news, and again I can see the load increasing from then onwards.

     

    BeePee suggests they can help to reduce overall energy usage. I imagine those with smart plug adapters are already quite energy conscious, so are probably already doing what they can to reduce usage. So it would be hard to gauge a reduction in consumption. This of course is only my opinion, would be interesting to see what others think.  

    Renewable Energy? Big Fan.
