Now that the GoSund App is designed to operate the GoSund Smart Plug, let’s get to know more about the Smart Plug.
About the product
- The smart plug only accommodates appliances and devices which consume power equal to or lesser than 1200 watts. Bigger appliances are not the right fit for the compact smart plug, well it is quite evident that the smaller version was developed only to cater to appliances that transfer lesser energy. Therefore, fridges, washing machines, microwaves, and similar bigger products are not the right match, otherwise, it is beautifully designed for the rest appliances, also the fact that most of living room appliances do not usually transfer the energy of more than 1200 watts.
- The smart plug is to be connected through the internet and is safe to use as a protection indicator that automatically switches on the moment usage voltage shoots up 470 volts.
- Coming to the developer specifications, this app is built in a way that can handle to cater more than 10k+ devices (including google assistance and Alexa) which allow the user to upgrade themselves with newer product ranges
- It is priced at merely $9 for this power-filled small packet which is a bang for the buck.
How to Use?
As the device is simple and handy, so is its packaging. It comes in a very simple handy packing which doesn’t leave us much space to talk about. The most appealing thing about the product itself is that it is very compact which can also be told as its unique selling point (USP).
Unlike its bulkier counterparts, it is pretty handy to work with. The biggest competitive advantage the smart plug features is it does not take up a lot of space which can be a blessing for smaller spaces. Installing the GoSund App is child’s play.
With its simple interface, it is already a blessing for all those non-techy souls (like me), which also makes it a great gifting option. The smart plug comes with a helpful user manual, which comes of very helpful to any age group who is willing to install it.
Did not take more than 5 minutes of my time to get the device installed single-handedly without any help.
Controls
Smart Plug is to be controlled by the GoSund App. The GoSund App comes with the most user-friendly interface, with simple instructions and simple display options it is a delight to use by any age group. Although simple, it has a bunch of advanced features to operate from.
As already mentioned above, installing the GoSund App is child’s play. Alarms can be created depending on the rules set up in the app, every change in the rule point buzzes an alarm to notify. It comes with an automation feature where you can use other devices like Google Assistant and Alexa through the GoSund App itself.
It is pretty much in sync with all other automation tools which help control and access all the smart devices at home with a single app. Integrating all the systems into one app is also not a very tedious act, it can be done pretty easily, just depends on the kind of ground rules you lay and adjust in the GoSund App which you can find a plethora of options to play around with.

Dislikes-
- Although the GoSund Smart Plug is a Smart Plug that lets you operate the power switches with a click on your phone, it still is to be manually switched on, which is a slight turn-off mainly when you enter a dark room. Also, note the point that the smart plug doesn’t come in a fancy lighted version, it comes in a plain blank old-school plug-in format. Nothing to complain about at this price point though.
- Something useful coming in such a small packet is still something that bothers most of us (including me), being made of a smaller build it doesn’t look very sturdy for the kind of features it provides. Also is claimed to make bombarding noises when shaken signifying the parts inside the smart plug might not be bolted right. Although it is claimed to be shockproof it comes as a boon.
With basic manual intervention, this smart plug can be operated from around the world with a single click of a button. With its amazing product and app, reviews and seamless performance for the price point is a killer deal.
