The new Samsung Smart Socket uses a special physical design. It includes a built-in plastic shield. This shield physically stops children from inserting foreign objects into the sockets. A child’s fingers or small toys cannot easily enter the slots. This offers a critical first layer of protection.
The socket also connects wirelessly to a smartphone app. Parents can control the power remotely through this app. They can turn individual sockets on or off from anywhere. This prevents appliances from being accidentally activated by a child. Parents gain extra peace of mind.
The app provides real-time power status updates. Users see instantly if a socket is active. The system sends alerts if unusual activity happens. This helps parents monitor home electrical use closely. Knowing the socket status is simple and fast.
Samsung stressed the socket’s ease of installation. It fits directly into existing standard wall outlets. No complex wiring changes are needed. Homeowners can set it up themselves quickly. The design maintains a clean, modern look.
