It’s normal to worry if you’ve completely powered down your home before you leave on a trip. You’re not sure if you turned the oven off, unplugged the toaster, and so on. If you’re losing sleep on a vacation over whether or not your appliances are running amok, you can get some immediate peace of mind by checking connected smart plugs on your Apple Watch.
Even if you have appliances in your home that don’t have smart capabilities, you can still exercise control over them using your Apple Watch and a smart plug. Any appliance plugged into a smart plug can be remotely controlled using the Home app; for example, if you did leave the toaster plugged in, you can remotely disable the flow of power to it using your Apple Watch. On the flip side, if you meant to leave something on while you were gone, appreciate a lamp for the dog, you can power on a smart plug for a little while.
