TRENDnet: Τα Wi-Fi routers (δρομολογητές) πλέον είναι πραγματικά πανίσχυρα, με ικανοποιητικό σήμα εκπομπής από και προς πολλές συσκευές ταυτόχρονα, ενώ μπορούν να διατηρούν και μια ισχυρή σύνδεση στο διαδίκτυο μέσω ενός επίσης ασύρματου σημείου πρόσβασης ή μέσω ενός 3G δρομολογητή, ή μέσω μίας physicsof cable connection.
However, walls and furniture always affect the strength of the signal and so some parts of a home or even a large part of it may be out of range of the router. That is, the signal strength is so weak that it can not connect properly to any PC.
That's why the digital device company TRENDnet just released a device that extends the wireless network to the places you want, and at the same time integrates an intelligent remote-controlled socket.
It's called THA-101, and should be placed in a region where the Wi-Fi signal is not satisfactory, i.e. at least 2 lines. Then you'll need to install an app and you'll instantly see your wireless signal in all corners of your home.
The built-in plug allows you to plug in a light or fan (located on the front of the THA-101) and after installing a free app for Apple or Android, you will be able to access them via the internet. That is, the THA-101-specific application will let you turn the power on or off from any mobile device that has an Internet connection. The application also allows you to remotely operate the socket by a timer or randomly.
The application also displays real-time energy consumption information, such as current consumption (in mA), voltage, power (in watts), and total power usage (in kW).
Unfortunately, the TRENDnet outlet does not yet have a corresponding device for the Greek electrical network. The American version, however, that is released costs 63,99 dollars (about 52 euros). We hope to see it on the shelves of Greek stores as the remote controlled sockets up to now have their own control, do not connect to the internet, do not record consumption and the wi-fi repeaters are simple devices without any other mode. Εκτός φυσικά αν έχετε τα χρήματα να στήσετε στο σπίτι σας ένα ολοκληρωμένο αλλά πανάκριβο system energy management based on BEMS (Building Energy Management Systems) or in the newer KNX protocol.
