A while ago to my MacBook Pro 2021 equipped with an ORICO docking station TB3-S2, easy to use is really easy to use, that is, the built-in fan sound is a bit loud, and there is no separate power switch, every time you use it to unplug the power supply, when you use it, it is a bit troublesome, so I started a smart plug with a sub-control to solve this problem.
There are many brands that can meet the needs, considering that you can access the Mijia system, link with other smart homes in the home, and finally choose the electric small cool CP3-AM, with 3 sub-control switches, put in the study to use, in addition to using to control the docking station, you can also connect the desk lamp and heater, just right.
Pure white appearance looks very refreshing, the shell uses V0 fireproof material, 750 ° high temperature flame retardant, and passed the national 3C certification, built-in a three-bit three-control converter, each set of jacks can be controlled independently through the sub-control switch, the hole spacing is 19mm, basically there will be no plug fight.
Below the plug-in front electric cool logo, it is marked that the maximum power support is 2500W, the maximum current support can be found in the manual 10A, and the three jacks are filled with common household appliances, which is no problem at all.
Each sub-control switch has a status indicator on it, when the green light is on, it means that the corresponding socket has been energized and can work normally, and the green light is off to indicate that it is in a power-off state.
The jack is equipped with a safety door for children to prevent accidental touching, which can ensure the safety of children at home.
The plug is a straight-in structure, the general home wall plug will have a panel, will be higher than the wall surface, when the plug is inserted, there will be a low head situation, the manufacturer is very intimate in the back design of two leveling screws, according to the thickness of the wall plug panel, adjust the appropriate height, can make the plug row remain vertical, both safe and beautiful.
Plug-in is through the WIFI access to the Mijia system, long press the rightmost sub-control jian for 5 seconds, the red light alternately flashes, in the Mijia APP can be identified to the plug, after connecting to the hotspot, enter the home WIFI password can complete the hardware binding, here you need to pay attention to a little plug only support 2.4G signal band, do not choose the wrong.
After binding, you can control the insertion in the Mijia APP, and the three jacks have separate management modules, and you can also control the overall control in the bottom menu.
I put the plug under the table near the inside position, with the APP, no need to bend down to plug and unplug the plug or press the sub-control switch, you can control the accessed equipment, very convenient.
Mijia APP everyone should be very familiar with, here is not much to say, the bound insert can be directly displayed in the main page, click can enter the detailed management page.
In addition to the simple on/off of each jack, there are three more practical functions: countdown, timing, cycle tasks, the specific effect will not be repeated, what you see is what you get, there is no difficulty, according to the system prompts, set the parameters on it.
In the system settings, each switch can be assigned a different icon, which looks more intuitive. Moreover, if there are other smart devices in the home that access the Mi family, you can also carry out the linkage of smart scenes, such as my home has Xiaomi's smart door lock, and add the electric cool smart plug to the scene of "going home and turning on the lights", so that when you go home and open the door, turn on the switch, and the light in the study will automatically turn on, which is a very warm feeling.
The display of smart scenes is more cumbersome, the following is a simple look at the effect of manual console lights through the Mijia APP, some people may say that this is not as convenient as directly pressing the switch on the lamp, indeed, if there is only one lamp, there is no need to deliberately use a smart plug to control, but when your smart device is more, or like my docking station without an independent power switch, with this smart plug, you can experience the convenience.
summary
Overall, the electric cool this intelligent plug is still very satisfied, before starting to think that there is only a sub-control switch, did not expect that in the Mijia APP, there are countdown, timing, cycle tasks and other practical functions, coupled with the linkage of intelligent scenes, it is indeed very convenient, workmanship, materials and other aspects have also reached the first-line level, in a word: value for money.
