A WiFi Smart 5-Pin Socket is a wall electrical outlet that looks like a normal socket but has built-in WiFi and smart features. It lets you control the power supply using your smartphone or voice assistant instead of just flipping a switch.

 Typical Smart Features

Here’s what these smart sockets usually offer:

WiFi remote control

• Connects to your home WiFi (usually 2.4 GHz).
• Turn devices on or off from the phone app anywhere.

App & voice assistant support

• Works with apps like Tuya Smart / Smart Life.
• Voice control via Alexa / Google Home.

Scheduling & automation

• Set timers for devices (e.g., lights, fan, kettle).
• Create routines for daily use.

Voice & physical control

• Control with app, voice, or built-in touch/physical button (varies by model).

Optional Extras (depending on model):

• USB charging ports or Type-C fast charging.
• Power/energy usage tracking.

A 5-pin socket is common for local home wiring — it supports both 3-pin and 2-pin plugs (with earthing). The smart version keeps the same compatibility but adds programmability and remote control.
