Pyronix SMARTPLUG Wi‑Fi Smart Plug, 13 A (≈2,990 W), 2.4 GHz, ITM001273

Introduction: Meet the Pyronix SMARTPLUG (13 A)

Pyronix SMARTPLUG Wi‑Fi Smart Plug, 13 A (ITM001273)is a compact, 2.4 GHz smart outlet designed to extend the Pyronix HomeControlHUB and HomeControl2.0 ecosystem to ordinary plug‑in appliances. At a glance it offers remote on/off control, scheduling, scenes and automations through the Pyronix cloud/app environment, a 13 A (≈2,990 W) load rating suitable for many household devices, and a fire‑retardant PC+ABS casing. For anyone building a Pyronix smart home or integrating smart control into an existing security or automation installation, the SMARTPLUG is a straightforward, cost‑effective way to bring smart control to lamps, fans and other plug‑in equipment.

• Compatibility:Native integration with Pyronix HomeControlHUB and HomeControl2.0 cloud/app.
• Connectivity:2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi (802.11 b/g/n) for straightforward wireless control.
• Load capability:Rated to 13 A (≈2,990 W), offering higher-than-average capacity for many appliances.
• Resilient behaviour:Remembers Wi‑Fi credentials after power loss and re‑connects when power returns.
• Compact, safe design:Fire‑retardant PC+ABS (V0) casing with blue status LED; CE and RoHS certified.

Specifications and benefits explained

The SMARTPLUG is engineered to be simple to set up and reliable in everyday operation. Important technical details include:

• Model & category:SMARTPLUG / ITM001273 — a HomeControl accessory designed for smart home automation.
• Electrical:Operates on 100–240 V AC at 50/60 Hz with a maximum load of 13 A (≈2,990 W). This means it can safely handle many household items such as lamps, TVs, fans and small kitchen appliances, provided those devices don’t exceed the continuous current rating.
• Wireless:Uses 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi (802.11 b/g/n). Initial pairing requires that both the SMARTPLUG and the controller or setup device are temporarily on the same 2.4 GHz network.
• Environmental:Rated for operation from −20 °C to 50 °C and storage from −40 °C to 80 °C — suitable for typical indoor home environments.
• Mechanical:Compact footprint (58 × 58 × 39 mm without pins) and lightweight (85 g), making it easy to fit in tight wall sockets or power strips.
• Materials & indicators:PC+ABS fire‑retardant casing (V0) and a blue status LED that indicates pairing and connection states. The unit preserves Wi‑Fi credentials so it can auto‑reconnect after power loss.
• Certifications:CE and RoHS compliance for regulatory reassurance in many markets.

Benefits of these specifications include peace of mind from certified safety materials, reliable Wi‑Fi connectivity for remote operation, and a higher load rating than many basic smart plugs. The remembered credentials behaviour reduces maintenance: after a power cut the plug attempts to reconnect automatically rather than requiring manual re‑pairing.

Use cases and scenarios where the SMARTPLUG excels

The Pyronix SMARTPLUG is particularly useful where simple, reliable remote switching is needed within a Pyronix automation or security system. Typical scenarios include:

• Lighting control:Convert bedside lamps, floor lamps or accent lighting into app‑controlled devices. Use schedules or scenes to automate evening lighting or create presence simulation when you’re away.
• Fans and comfort devices:Control portable fans, air purifiers and small heaters (within the 13 A limit). Pairing smart plug schedules with occupancy sensors or the HomeControl automation can keep living spaces comfortable while saving energy.
• Holiday and decorative lights:Easily schedule and automate outdoor/indoor decorations to turn on at dusk and off at bedtime without running extension cords to smart bulbs.
• Integration with security scenes:Combine the SMARTPLUG with Pyronix alarm events — for example, trigger lights or radio to simulate occupancy when an alarm is armed or when a triggering event occurs.
• Commercial or temporary installations:For small offices, rented properties or staged environments where quick, non‑invasive automation is needed, the SMARTPLUG can be deployed without hardwiring, while installers can rely on Pyronix’s cloud for centralized management.

Note: the SMARTPLUG is not intended for high continuous loads beyond 13 A (such as some kettles, large heaters or heavy power tools). For permanent or hardwired installations consult a qualified electrician and consider appropriate industrial‑grade switches or contactors.

Comparisons with similar products on the market

There are many consumer smart plugs from brands like TP‑Link (Kasa), Amazon, and others. Where the Pyronix SMARTPLUG stands out is its native integration with the Pyronix HomeControl ecosystem and installer‑focused credentials such as remembered Wi‑Fi pairing and a compact, robust casing. Key comparison points:

• Integration:Many mainstream smart plugs focus on general consumer ecosystems (Alexa, Google Home). The SMARTPLUG is targeted at people using Pyronix HomeControlHUB/HomeControl2.0, so it integrates directly into alarm and security‑oriented automation flows rather than only general smart home scenes.
• Load rating:At 13 A (≈2,990 W) the SMARTPLUG offers a higher maximum load than several basic 10 A smart plugs, giving more flexibility for higher‑draw appliances within safe limits.
• Business/installer features:Installer communities and resellers will appreciate the remembered credentials and concise footprint; many consumer plugs may require re‑pairing after power loss or present bulkier designs that block adjacent outlets.
• Feature parity:Some competitor plugs offer extra consumer features like energy monitoring, home kit/Apple integration, or 5 GHz Wi‑Fi support; the Pyronix SMARTPLUG focuses on reliable 2.4 GHz operation and deep Pyronix cloud/app integration rather than those additional consumer features.

In short, if you need a plug that works seamlessly inside a Pyronix security or automation installation and can handle slightly higher loads, the SMARTPLUG is a competitive choice. If you require per‑outlet energy metering, Apple HomeKit compatibility, or 5 GHz Wi‑Fi, you may prefer other consumer models — but you’ll trade off the Pyronix integration advantages.

Customer feedback and installer impressions

While individual customer testimonials are not included with this product summary, early installer and user feedback tends to highlight a few recurring points:

• Reliable reconnection after power outages thanks to retained Wi‑Fi credentials — installers report fewer service calls after outages.
• Good fit for alarm/automation scenes — users appreciate being able to tie lighting and small appliances into security modes and schedules from the HomeControl app.
• Compact size and robust casing — installers find the unit simple to deploy without blocking neighbouring sockets and appreciate the fire‑retardant materials for safety compliance.
• Limitations are understood — users expect 2.4 GHz pairing steps and accept the requirement to remain within the 13 A rating for safe operation.

If you are evaluating the SMARTPLUG for a commercial installation, asking for installer references or pilot deployments can provide real‑world testimonials specific to your use case.
