Device overview
HomeWizard Energy Socket is a plug-in smart socket for appliance-level energy monitoring and switching. It is designed for users who want to understand the consumption of individual loads such as TVs, kitchen appliances, office equipment, chargers, small heaters within rating limits, and standby loads without installing a DIN-rail meter or opening an electrical panel.
The device sits between the wall outlet and the appliance. HomeWizard positions it as a way to measure and switch every device, with app history, timer-based control, overheat protection, and integration options through HomeWizard's Energy platform.
Core metering fields
For EnergyMeterHub comparisons this record is scoped as an energy-meter because the product directly measures appliance power and energy through a plug-in inline socket format. It is not a solar inverter, battery-storage device, EV charger, or gateway/data-logger-only product.
The official HomeWizard store lists a measuring range from 1 W to 3680 W, maximum load of 3680 W / 16 A, continuous load of 2760 W / 12 A, and individually calibrated 99.5% accuracy. That makes it useful for appliance-level monitoring, but it should not be treated as a revenue-grade meter or a whole-home panel monitor.
Installation and electrical fit
Installation is plug-in rather than panel-mounted: place the Energy Socket in a compatible wall outlet, then plug the appliance into the socket. The current official model uses a combined edge/pin-earth plug for Netherlands/Belgium style grounded sockets, so region and socket compatibility matter before purchase.
Because it is a plug-in inline device, there are no external CT clamps, current transformers, DIN-rail wiring steps, or installer-only current-sensor configuration. The practical limits are the socket type, appliance load, and HomeWizard's published maximum and continuous load ratings.
Connectivity and integrations
The official HomeWizard store lists Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz b/g/n with WPA2/WPA3 encryption and Open API JSON. HomeWizard's API documentation says the Energy Socket supports the local API when connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and HomeWizard's help center describes official Home Assistant integration for the Energy Socket.
The cloud and app are useful for normal onboarding, app dashboards, timers, and cloud-backed history. The local API and Home Assistant support make the device stronger for users who want local home-automation access to real-time device data.
Use cases
HomeWizard Energy Socket is best for appliance-level monitoring, standby-load hunting, simple automation, and switching loads inside the published ratings. It can help answer practical questions such as how much a kitchen boiler, entertainment setup, workstation, or charger uses over time.
It is not a replacement for a whole-home meter, circuit-level CT monitor, inverter export meter, or EV charger energy meter. For solar, heat-pump, EV, and main-connection monitoring, HomeWizard's kWh Meter products or other panel-installed meters are a better fit.
Buyer notes
The official HomeWizard store showed the Energy Socket at EUR 27.95 and in stock during the 2026-06-25 review. Availability is primarily European and socket-style dependent; buyers outside supported HomeWizard markets should confirm plug type, regional store shipping, and app/service availability before purchase.
