D-Link’s new DSP-W115 Smart Plug and DSP-W245 Power Strip let you inconspicuously build a connected home, enabling effortless monitoring and control of electrical appliances wherever you are.

Integration with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant add the convenience of hands-free voice control over your home appliances with popular smart speakers such as Amazon Echo and Google Home. At the same time, IFTTT integration and automation with compatible mydlink cameras further extends your options to make your home more comfortable, convenient and efficient.

With its updated user interface, the mydlink app is now easier than ever to use. Shortcuts on the main screen allow users to access devices quickly whilst the new “One-Tap” function allows multiple devices, alerts and automations to be enabled or disabled with a simple tap.

Kevin Wen, President of D-Link Europe said, “Over the past year we’ve seen consumers grow more comfortable with utilising smart home devices via Amazon Alexa and Google Home, and we anticipate this mainstream acceptance to accelerate. The new mydlink app opens up access to these services, ensuring that our customers can make full use of their capabilities, while remaining in control of their mydlink devices, through one simple interface.”

DSP-W245 enables you to monitor and manage the power usage of connected devices as well as provide additional surge and overheating protection. Not only does the mydlink app provide detailed statistical information about how much power each appliance is using, it will send customised notifications to your mobile device informing you when it switches a device on or off, when you go over your chosen power consumption limit, or if a device has been automatically deactivated due to overheating.

Key functions include:

• Turn an appliance on and off from your smartphone or tablet, at home or away
• Schedule appliances such as a lamp or heater to automatically turn on and off based on time and date
• Set up smart home automation with compatible mydlink devices and IFTTT
• Can be controlled by voice through Amazon Echo and Google Assistant smart speakers
• Push notification alerts when products are turned on or off
• Connects to your home’s existing Wi-Fi network
