Chowmain - D-Link Smart Plug Driver

Control4 supplies the wireless outlet switch that makes any household plug-in device, like lamps, appliances and electronics part of the Control4 system by turning a standard outlet into a smart outlet. 

Unfortunately this device is not available to the majority of the world as it only supports 120VAC voltage for US plug type devices. 

Introducing the D-Link Smart Plug. It has plug types for different regions and is extremely affordable. This WiFi based power outlet supports up to 10amps (100-240VAC) and can be easily integrated into the Control4 home automation system using the Chowmain D-Link Smart Plug driver. 

Features

• Auto discovery of D-Link Smart Plug device on the network

• Abilty to connect driver to outlet light or relay device drivers which in turn allows you to view the correct icon on navigator interface or even eliminate standby power on AV based devices. 
• Ability to connect driver to keypad buttons (with LED feedback) to allow for quick on/off/toggle programming 
• On/Off feedback from the device.
