A plug you control remotely
The Anker SOLIX Smart Plug Gen 2 sits between the wall socket and the appliance you want to control. Instead of unplugging by hand, you act on the supply through the brand’s ecosystem. This kind of accessory appeals especially to people who manage home solar production and want to spread consumption intelligently.
The supplied data is precise on the essentials: rated current, protection rating, dimensions and weight. It does not, however, describe the wireless link, the app or any metering functions. We do not claim them; consult the manual for the detailed list of functions.
Everyday uses
At home
Think of a supplementary water heater, an indoor pond pump, a dehumidifier or a small heater: loads you can switch on when the available energy is most favourable. Each device must stay within the plug’s 16 A limit, and the manufacturer’s label takes precedence.
In a professional context
In an office or a shop, it can switch off equipment at a set time when it does not need to stay powered, such as a coffee machine or an indoor sign.
Build and footprint
The plug measures 50 × 50 × 83 mm and weighs 90 g. Its depth of 83 mm sticks out of the wall socket: check that a piece of furniture or a skirting board does not hinder insertion. The IP 20 rating means it is not designed against water; place it in a dry room, never outdoors or in a bathroom exposed to splashes.
Getting started
- Choose a wall socket in good condition without play.
- Push the smart plug in fully, then the appliance into its socket.
- Download the app named in the manual and follow the pairing steps.
- Set up scenarios one by one, watching how the appliance behaves first.
Never modify the fixed installation yourself: only a qualified installer works on the household network.
Strengths drawn from the data
- Rated current of 16 A, suited to common household loads as long as they remain below that value.
- Light weight of 90 g, which avoids pulling on the wall socket.
- A relatively compact footprint of 50 × 50 × 83 mm.

Safety
Do not plug in a loaded power strip or any device drawing more than 16 A. Do not use it outdoors, in a damp place or near a heat source. Unplug it if it heats abnormally, gives off a smell or shows a crack. Avoid chaining it onto another smart plug.
Care and storage
Wipe it dry while unplugged. For long-term keeping, leave it in its packaging or a dry drawer. If you change its use, reread the manual to reset its configuration before handing it to someone else.
