What is a "smart outlet"?
A smart outlet is an electrical socket that can be controlled remotely using a smartphone, tablet, or voice assistant. It allows users to turn devices on or off, set schedules, and monitor energy usage without needing to physically interact with the outlet. Smart outlets are often used for lamps, fans, or other household appliances, making it easier to manage their use and improve energy efficiency. They can be controlled individually or grouped with other smart devices in a home automation system, offering added convenience and control over household electrical devices.
Example

You can control the lamp with your voice through the smart outlet.
I use the smart outlet to schedule the heater to turn on before I get home.
