 hello everybody and welcome back to my video log channel again so here we are here we are here we are this is a little bit excited about actually see what these are like more than the other day of eBay and this is here it doesn't it doesn't have the current rating and it has the rated voltage 100 to 240 volts working temperature 20 60c Wi-Fi 2.4 gigs and AC frequency 50 60 so there's four pieces there but I don't think there's four pieces in here now it does say four pieces doesn't this is strange I'm going to presume it works well I don't know what it's gonna work with but this will work with Amazon or with Alexa and I look for pieces but there's a little bit different I've already got some of these yeah this is green so and I've already got some of these but the difference with these ones is you have an app or you can use Alexa you know to turn them off or Google turn them off but the thing that makes these a bit different to the other ones that I have because I use them because I the behind my speakers is where they suck it connects a cable thing is for my amplifier and so I just tell Alexa to she didn't respond to turn on and off the preamp and the power amp and that's great that is absolutely great but these are slightly different these do the same thing but they've got built-in power meters as you get to see the amount of power that you're using which is great right and so what we're gonna do is I'm gonna get the get my phone onto this oh I'm using the phone so I'll have to do a bit of a jump-cut on that get my phone onto this and get the app in here so we can see then because I want one of these on my bench so because it's supposed to be 16 amps I'm pretty sure I mean it says here 16 amps but we have a look always has a rated current on the back here as well also says that that's gonna be 16 amps that's good yeah and so I can then just be lazy and just say you know that magic word and turn the bench off I'll just call it the bench Alexa Alexa which is lit up now but it's alright turn the bench off then she'll say okay and all the power will go off on the bench meaning I mean I do even things on a course but like all the power going through their things will go off on the bench so let's just do a little jump cut then and let me get this thing no in actual fact that's not gonna work like that is it how am I gonna show you it if I do it like that so I don't need to do that let's just grab all of my tablet and I do it from there okay is it on goodness so we'll do a jump cut to it being powered on yeah that's the tablet I got it's an old one but I love it it still does everything I needed to so let's have a look let's say we can do this thing so I've got a speedy B thing on here I don't know if I know how to do this I think there might be something in here saying scan QR code here we go it's gonna tell me in actual fact straight away that it's no good because there we go and I think that's because I need to have no Wi-Fi on I can turn my location off I suppose we've got the Wi-Fi on and probably have to do that again now okay so we're gonna open the link Google play lovely oh 4.7 and you get to see on here look straight away about this smart home dietary management weight management what nerves going on in it's supposed to be powerful yeah let's just install that I'll sign in to continue V sync right let's just get rid of this we'll just go through the app sometimes it's just the easier to go like this V ES Y N K V E sync V E sync there we go let's go on to the app oh oh here we are 4.4 I was looking at that thing then I wish you wouldn't do that but no mind suppose it's one thing to keep you keep you on your toes isn't it it's a 119 megabyte this might be quite slow so I'm just gonna skip forward hey it's installing okay don't key so let's do it now let's see what we got upgrade your home by transforming it into a fully connected smart home with V sync now of course I want to be able to use this with Google as well so I'm hoping it's gonna do that sign up or log in don't you just hate doing all this signing up and logging into stuff right let me quick do that then okay so we're done our little sign-up thing there and we're gonna add a device so we're gonna do a electricity Wi-Fi outlet smart plug nearby devices go to settings I presume this is gonna be a Bluetooth thing maybe position nearby devices why not enable the access to click click enable access turn on Bluetooth we're gonna turn on the Bluetooth then allow turn on some Bluetooth now allow location turn on location services clicks location data to scan nearby Wi-Fi networks and connect to your device bag one and why not while using the app turn on local services location services I presume that's not already is it I'll go over your location yep okay so that would be nice we just get rid of that get rid of that get rid of that and go back to that we can get rid of that as well sorry you're watching me do my cleaning up right no devices found so let's see if I can just stick that like that I'm gonna plug in a device and get this and as far as I know he's supposed to just hold this in the side or it might just come up straight away but we'll soon see yeah it's flashing straight away so it should be looked like sorry found it I just plugged it in connecting your device now because this is gonna go through the Wi-Fi yeah this is something that I need to I need to get this permissions now with this Mac address and stuff through my router so I'm gonna do a jump cut for that I'm just gonna do the one now I'm gonna do a jump cut now to give the permissions good I'll log into my router okay guys so it's what you need to bear in mind when you do this is one you need to set up through your router of course and you also need to have the device and your router and whatever you're setting up with pretty pretty close to each other so that so that will work so now I've done that it says your device is all set to go ahead and try it out so I'm gonna say okay there we got a third-party app so I'm gonna use Alexa and what's it say here connect the various sync devices to Alexa for hands-free control sync your data to Alexa for quick search yep maybe add this with Alexa what's this thing here how much do I weigh today how much I wasn't even doing anything so that what they're trying to say oh connect maybe that's where we go to right now I need to sign in with my Amazon thing let me just move out the way for that okay so now we got a I've got a message come through my phone now to tell me that someone's just tried to sign into my account v-sync would like to access Alexa we're gonna say hello allow no Alexa no alarm no alarm cancel the alarm no alarm has been said no alarm has been said just going off her rocker all right so we can we can see now what we get here so we got voltage energy in kilowatts and power in watts that's pretty cool down the bottom here we can schedule we got a timer inching don't know what that means and away inching what is this inching mean all right so inching mode means each time the device is turned on it will automatically turn off after a period of operation that's pretty cool isn't it what else we got timer what's this away thing so all right so you can turn things on and off while you're away that's pretty cool and because you can access this through data as well you know the whole Alexa thing and everything you can access it you can switch it on and off while you're out all right so let's plug something in now what can I plug in I've I've got it plugged in to a phone charger but it's on one of those C charger things and I don't what's this gone this is eighty-four percent plug this in the bottom here let's see what happens I plugged it on and we're gonna turn on okay and we can see the voltage I try and do this in such a way now that the light isn't completely there we go so we got our voltage I'm not sure if we're charging or not all power 2.1 watts up there and then we'll have the energy every time so now I should be able to say Alexa turn off the bench okay I had the darkened cloak let's have a look at the side yep the little blue lights gonna out there we go so it takes a little bit of time before it comes on here so Alexa turn on the bench okay by the way I'm still learning about your plug is it connected to a light no it's just connected to a phone charger at the moment okay if you decide to connect this plug to a light you can change its settings in the Alexa app okie-dokie thank you it's weird isn't it talking to Alexa power 7.6 watts now going into this and yeah so that's the little bit of difference here with that so what we got here device name the bench the icon is that voice commands Alexa turn off Alexa turn on device info power monitoring settings so energy saving mode power protection mode always take that out of euros and we're going to put this into great British pounds now to be something that can show you what it's going to be costing you which is what I believe this can do cost per kilowatt here we go so now I can put in my cost per kilowatt and if I remember rightly now because I've just moved from British gas for my electricity and gas to Scottish power I'm now saving myself four per unit and six per day just on the electricity so I'm going to go for 31 pence so that should be a 0.31 a unit so we can say okay with that and now this should not only be just telling me it should be giving me my costs or what it's going to be actually costing me to be running this so I'll be able to keep it on what my bench cost me visit I will the main bench cable comes in and starts connecting up to it all spurs off this one big four-way eight-way adapter switchable and then it comes on to some other adapters which plug-in this section this section of stuff on one and then I got my heating stuff you know the soldier lines and that on another and lighting on another and for doing the charging that's up there it's actually up there on the bench that's another one but from the main plug going into the wall that's where I'm going to put this the bench unit and I should hopefully be able to yes keep an arm while it's actually costing as well so share device what else we share but not shared with the users yet invite users no thank you we go back to the power monitoring settings what else we got energy saving mode power protection mode energy saving mode turns off your device when your maximum power consumption is reached all right power protection mode turns off your device when it falls below or exceeds your chosen power setting so can I put that all right okay exceed power setting so I can get this then let's say what we got here one to 350,000 300 300 3500 watts 3.5 kilowatts I can say then if it goes above let's say 300 watts then that would show you an issue on the bench possibly and for it to switch off which wouldn't be very handy really especially if all the lights are connected to it but hey that's a feature there energy saving mode maximum power consumption so yes if I get up to a certain amount of power I've used let's say I only want to use maximum one kilowatt a day then it can turn it off but I'm not gonna put that into play now we can just have a little bit of a peek at the power I had to do a little bit of a junk cut for a day or two just because we don't know you know what the actual power is doing on there so at the minute it's saying it's using 72 watts which is the entire bench because it's now plugged in to the bench and that's what we're using I've got the video editor on the go and stuff so that's why it's got so much power there being used but now we get to see where our power is being used so you can see Friday which was the day I started the video you had to use anything 0.0009 kilowatts that's nothing really is it and then yesterday 0.1605 kilowatts and then today we're using a bit more today which is a 0.208 kilowatts so say you find that and down the bottom of there get your weekly total so far how much it's cost me which is 11 pence the daily average but we can't we don't we can't work out the daily average so we got like a week there at least come on and at the top you've got that month you know year even so yeah that's that's pretty good that's for all right that just puts us back into that mode I'm just gonna say okay to all that and then I'm just going backwards to go back out I've not used anything else yet the schedule or timer or the inching just don't seem to be needing that at the moment so there we go this is a new type or at least to me and maybe to you guys I've been able to watch the power if you want to switch on and off obviously from you know using Alexa or using the actual tablet here on your phone and then connected to a network by your data on your phone or the Wi-Fi on the tablet depends how you've got yours connected up but you still can do it like that and I think that's pretty good I think that's pretty good I don't think now I'm gonna bother buying any more of the because this is the same price I think that probably about an extra 15 or 20 pence I can't remember but what do I pay for these I think I paid about 17 pounds for two so what's that work out to be 8.50 each 8.50 each to just be able to switch them on and off I mean I know that seems a bit silly really why would you want to pay 8.50 for an adapter but look you can switch them on and off and you can also see exactly what's drawing what current so let's say I put this one for my TV my bedroom at least that night I can just tell my echo thing in there like turn the tally off yeah and it just switches off just as I'm falling asleep you fall in asleep I echo turn the tally off and it all goes off brilliant anyway that's that for that guys and I'll catch you in the next one bye for now
