1. Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of this EnerGenie WiFi smart home
socket. Your EG-PM1W-001 is an advanced power socket with smart
power management features. You can control the socket via your local WiFi network, the internet, or the PowerMan app.
Because you can control the smart socket via several different interfaces (power manager interface with secure data transfer, embedded webserver and energenie.com cloud service), it can be integrated into most smart home solutions.
With your free personal user account at our EnerGenie.com cloud server, you can manage your EG-PM1W-001 from all over the world with any internet browser. With your free user account, you also get access to our free PowerMan app for controlling the EG-PM1W-001 (available for iOS and Android smartphone or tablets).
The EG-PM1W-001 also has a WiFi repeater function, which enables it to extend the range of your home or office WiFi network.
The smart socket can be switched on/off manually, via a timer schedule, or by different programmable events. The timer schedule is stored inside the device itself (hardware schedule only), so the smart socket does not need any network connection to execute the timer schedule.
