Tuya Smart Power Extension Powerstrip: 4 AC+4 USB Ports | Wi-Fi App/Voice Control, Schedules, Energy Monitor - Automate Home, Office, Plants

Four AC outlets and four USB ports, each one switchable on its own rather than the whole strip together, from the Tuya app or by voice through Alexa or Google Assistant. That individual control is the real point of a smart strip over a basic multi-plug, one outlet can stay on for a fridge while everything else switches off on a schedule.

Needs a 2.4GHz WiFi network specifically, it will not connect to a 5GHz-only one, worth checking a router's settings before assuming it'll pair. Rated up to 3200W across the strip, with a 1.8m cord for reaching an outlet from a reasonable distance.

Scenes and automation

• Group sockets into one-tap "scenes"
• "Away Mode" cuts everything except a chosen outlet, typically the fridge
• Schedule holiday lights, a humidifier or an aquarium filter independently

For a lighter alternative rated 2500W rather than 3200W, worth considering if the extra headroom genuinely isn't needed, the WiFi Power Strip elsewhere in this range is the smaller, slightly cheaper option.
