Tata Power EZ Home Smart Wi-Fi Plug 16A with Energy Monitoring

16 A rating handles geysers and air conditioners, unlike 10 A plugs. The one thing to know before ordering: Schedules are stored in the cloud and stop firing during an outage. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.

Had this three months now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. Live wattage and cumulative kWh turn guesswork into a number. Still mildly irritated by one thing: Schedules are stored in the cloud and stop firing during an outage. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.

Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Anyone needing schedules that survive an internet outage — these are cloud-side, not on-device. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.

I compared four of these on paper before ordering, so the line I actually checked was "Works with". The page says Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and that is what turned up. 16 A rating handles geysers and air conditioners, unlike 10 A plugs.

Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: Schedules are stored in the cloud and stop firing during an outage. Physically bulky enough to block the adjacent socket on a twin board. Neither is hidden — both are listed on the page — but they matter more in daily use than they look on a spec sheet. I have kept it, for one reason: 16 A rating handles geysers and air conditioners, unlike 10 A plugs. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.
