Smart Plugs: A Simple Way to Save Electricity

In an era of rising energy bills, small devices can make a big difference. Smart plugs have become one of the most accessible and effective tools for managing household consumption. While they look like ordinary adapters, their Wi-Fi connectivity opens the door to total control over your appliances.

Maximize 'Off-Peak' Tariffs

The greatest potential for savings in Serbia lies in utilizing the night-time, 'cheap' tariff, which is up to four times more affordable than the daytime rate. Smart plugs allow you to precisely program devices such as water heaters, washing machines, or dishwashers to turn on exactly at midnight (or whenever the lower tariff starts in your region). In this way, without any effort, you cut the operating costs of your most demanding appliances in half.

Eliminate 'Vampire' Energy

Many devices like TVs, monitors, chargers, and consoles consume electricity even when they are in 'standby' mode. This 'vampire' energy can account for up to 10% of your monthly bill. With a smart plug, you can set these devices to power off completely during the night or while you are at work, and have them automatically turn back on just before you need them.

Remote Control and Safety

How many times have you wondered if you left the iron or hair curler on? With smart plugs and a mobile app, you can check the status of any device and turn it off with one click, no matter where you are. This brings not only savings but also peace of mind and added security for your home.

Plan with obavesti.rs

Timely information about the grid's status is key to an efficient household. The obavesti.rs portal helps you stay informed about all planned works and outages. If you know that power in your street will be off during the morning, you can use your smart plug to reschedule your washing machine for a period when the power is stable and the tariff is lower.
