2018: SENSEIT GS4
On August 3, 2018 SENSEIT provided the smart SENSEIT GS4 socket. This budget 4G/LTE device for creation of the smart house which is ready to work at once "from a box" and does not require special abilities for setup or installation.
Why the smart socket is necessary?
Non-staff blackout, the electric heaters left without control, voltage surges, water supply system leakage, freezing of a heating system — such everyday situations can bring a set of problems. In order that to avoid them, there is a smart socket which monitors a situation in the house and helps to make necessary decisions for accident elimination in time.
By means of the smart socket you can manage far off electric devices from the screen of the smartphone, control consumption and tension of the power supply network and to configure the flexible scenarios of work based on indications of sensors. But the most important — the socket will warn you about power outage in the house.
How to contact the smart socket
The smart SENSEIT GS4 socket does not depend on existence of the stationary home Internet and works in all standards of the existing mobile networks: 2G, 3G and 4G/LTE. It gives the chance not only to obtain information and to manage the device in real time, but also increases quality and reliability of communication. And, above all – work through a mobile network allows to install the device where there is even a poor signal of cellular communication, it can be strengthened thanks to connection of the external antenna. In the absence of connection with the Internet control of the socket can be exercised by means of SMS commands.
Types of smart sockets
There are two types of smart SENSEIT GS4 sockets – the Master and the Slave. The Master of the socket is necessary the SIM card with the connected service of the mobile Internet for work. At the socket there is a LTE module at the expense of which it can communicate with the user and accept commands. The Master the socket can connect to everyone up to 10 Slave of sockets therefore for control of 11 devices you need only one SIM card.
Complete with everyone the Master and the Slave temperature sensors and leakages go the socket. On the basis of indications of sensors the socket makes the decision on inclusion or switching off of the device connected to it, or sends to the user of the notification.
Possibilities of the smart socket
Switching on and off in the manual mode
The main function of the socket — remote turning on and switching off of electric devices on command from your smartphone. The frequent scenario of use of this function — heating inclusion in the winter before a trip to a country house.
Informing the owner at blackout
The smart SENSEIT GS4 socket is equipped with the special super-condenser which allows to send the notification to the user at power outage. Timely informing helps to avoid a set of problems – for example, the frozen pipes in your country house because of a stop of the heating equipment (that can lead to very expensive repair) or the emergency stop of work of ventilation, servers, vending machines, refrigerators, pumps or even mining farms.
Climate control function
Complete with each socket the analog temperature sensor by means of which it is possible to configure scenarios of work of heating or conditioning is delivered. It is rather simple to set the necessary temperature range, and the socket it will support.
Control of electric devices on the timer
In the Smart Socket application it is possible to configure inclusion and shutdown of the socket on preset time. Such function is often used for management of street lighting or for simulation of presence of the user of the house.
Use of the sensor of a leakage
In case of detection of a leakage the socket will notify the user on the happened emergency situation and also will include or will switch off the necessary device — for example, the pump. The leakage sensor which goes complete with each socket can be used for automation of watering or control of water level in the reservoir.
Tracking of parameters of the power supply network
The socket always determines the current tension and consumption of current. Data retrieveds will remain on your smartphone in the form of informative diagrams. By means of this function it is possible to configure power off of electric devices at voltage surges.
Smartest Socket application
Control of the smart socket is exercised by means of the application available to downloading on platforms Android and iOS.
2015: SENSEIT GS2 M и S
The SENSEIT company provided in March, 2015 the SENSEIT GS2 socket for the organization of the "smart" house. Innovation will allow to manage far off the home and office equipment, lighting systems and conditioning: wherever there was an owner, he will always know what happens at his place, on the dacha or at office.
The set of SENSEIT GS2 consists of two sockets: SENSEIT GS2 M (Master-socket) and SENSEIT GS2 S (Slave-socket).
SENSEIT GS2 of M supports work in standards of GSM/GPRS and has the slot for the SIM cards installation. GS2 M is the main device which manages SENSEIT GS2 S sockets. It is possible to connect up to 10 SENSEIT GS2 S to one SENSEIT GS2 M device. Thus, using only one SIM card, the user can receive the system of the "smart" house from 11 sockets.
It is rather simple to manage sockets, the user can select the most convenient for it a method: using Android or iOS of the application, via the web interface or even by means of Sms. The last will be relevant for those who use the normal mobile phone.
Innovation does not require installation and is simple in connection. It is necessary to insert the SIM card into the SENSEIT GS2 M socket, then to connect it to the normal home electric socket. SENSEIT GS2 S does not require the SIM cards installation, it contacts the Master-socket on radio to the channel.
It is possible to connect any household appliances to SENSEIT GS2 sockets, including lamps, conditioners, heaters, computers, monitoring systems and security and many other things. If innovation is used in a country house, then it is possible to add to the list of the connected devices the system of watering, street illumination and automatic gate. Each socket is capable to maintain loading to 3500 W (16 A).
Using SENSEIT GS2 sockets it is possible to configure an operation mode of home appliances on the timer or according to the schedule, and the owner will be able to monitor functioning of devices far off using the smartphone. In case of power outage the "smart" socket will send to the user the notification in the form of the message to e-mail, notifications on the smartphone (when using the application) or in the form of the Sms.
The "climate control" mode at which the device will include and switch-off heaters and conditioners depending on indoor temperature is provided in innovation. The thermal sensor of the socket will determine the level of heating/cooling and will compare it to the value set by the user. This function will allow to maintain comfortable temperature in the house, to save the electric power and also to manage work of heating systems and conditioning at distance. For example, several hours prior to arrival to the dacha it is possible to include heating of the house far off: a system will notify the owner when temperature reaches a desirable point.
Mobile application for control of the smart SENSEIT GS2 socket is compatible to devices based on Android and iOS. Using the program it is possible to manage remotely a power supply of the connected electric device, to set the diagram of its work, to configure functioning of the cooling and heating devices depending on thermal sensor indicators, etc. Free of charge it is possible to download the application in Google Play Store and App Store.
SENSEIT GS2 sockets were already available for sale at the estimated price of 5,999 rub for the SENSEIT GS2 M model (Master-socket), 3,499 rub for the SENSEIT GS2 S model (Slave-socket), and also 8,999 rub for a set of M+S SENSEIT GS2 sockets (Master+Slave).
