Turning off household appliances in long-term standby mode will save electricity consumption. The timer function not only reduces energy consumption, which has a positive effect on the environment, but also makes the use of household appliances even more convenient, while extending their service life. For example, you can set a timer for your heater to automatically turn off after you leave for work and turn on half an hour before you return home, ensuring a comfortable temperature while you're at home.
Reliability and durability
The Xiaomi Mi Smart Socket Plug 2 Wi-Fi case is made of fire-resistant material that can withstand temperatures up to 750°C, and is manufactured using wave soldering technology. The build quality of the Xiaomi smart socket is approved by the national CQC quality standard. The socket has a built-in temperature sensor that monitors the operation of high-power appliances and controls the internal temperature of the socket, and if the temperature rises significantly, it sends a corresponding notification to the user. If the outlet overheats, it will automatically stop supplying current to prevent fire and damage. The internal part is made of high quality carbon bronze 0.6 mm, the fork is made of 1.5 mm brass.
What is a socket? This is a wall-mounted device for connecting electrical appliances to the network. I guess that's all. What is a smart plug? This is a smart device that supports remote control, is equipped with a timer, child protection and much, much more. We'll tell you how to connect the Xiaomi Smart Socket Basic Edition smart socket to your smartphone to experience all its delights.
The Xiaomi Smart Socket Basic Edition smart socket is made of high-quality fireproof materials, equipped with an automatic fire and overvoltage protection system, and synchronizes with other smart home devices.
In order to synchronize your gadget with your smartphone:

✔ PACKAGING AND APPEARANCE Xiaomi Mi Smart WiFi Socket
At first I didn’t understand what was in the bag, it was very small and square.
And inside there was a box that more closely resembles a package of feminine cream or a box for storing rings than the packaging of a smart device. 
In a no-frills box, instructions and the socket itself. 
Like most Xiaomi devices, the socket was additionally packaged in shipping film. 
The socket itself has been made universal; you can insert a European plug into it, as well as a Chinese or American one. There is protection from playful hands, or rather nails and wires of children. 
But the “native” plug is purely Chinese, I will classify this as a disadvantage; you need to purchase an adapter. Grounding available.
There is a physical outlet control button, which, if you don’t have a smartphone at hand, allows you to turn the outlet off or on. Information about the status (on/off) of the socket is transmitted to the smartphone. 
I have a universal adapter, but it's the same size as another outlet. 
I decided to check it with a regular adapter, which often comes with Chinese gadgets. The grounding “leg” sticks out, but it fits into the deep socket as if it were original, it sits quite firmly and does not wobble. 
There are two LEDs in the socket, but they are almost invisible. Orange blinks when the socket is in standby mode, blue blinks when there is no connection to WiFi, in normal operation the blue LED is constantly on.

✔ WHAT'S INSIDE Xiaomi Mi Smart WiFi Socket
I couldn’t easily disassemble it without damaging the socket, I broke two picks, the card simply wouldn’t pry it open, so I had to use a knife. As a result, the plastic was ruined.

✔ Xiaomi Mi Smart WiFi Socket software
I don’t recommend downloading software using a QR code; I got the Chinese version.
Downloaded from here - w3bsit3-dns.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=661250 (there is a version for iOS)
The first step is to create and log into an account, then scan the device and/or select it from the list manually.
My automatic scanner didn’t find anything, so I had to reset the socket. To do this, turn it on, wait until the blue LED starts to light or blink and hold the power button for 5-7 seconds. The socket will reboot and the LED will start blinking orange, after which the software will automatically detect a new device. Next, you need to select the WiFi network in which the socket will work and a password for connecting. 
After these steps, the outlet will save the settings in the “cloud” and download the required plugin - apk - for control. 
A shortcut for controlling the outlet is created on the desktop; you can quickly turn it on or off without starting MiHome. The main disadvantage is the completely Chinese interface, where apart from the socket icon you can’t really understand anything... 
But this will not be an obstacle if the phone has root, and if it doesn’t, then try setting it up using screenshots or a video review, the main thing is to remember and understand the principle, and practice a little.
And if you have root, then download the Russified plugin - drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BzFWe26yNg9DeXhKRWJDUkttQVk&usp=sharing&tid=0BzFWe26yNg9DTEVsV3RvbTZjUGc
And in the folder /data/data/com.xiaomi.smarthome/files/plugin/install/mpk/262 we replace the file 2252.apk with the downloaded one.
As a result, we get a normal control interface - the blue socket is active, the black socket is turned off. 
Probably the main feature is setting work timers. 
Timers are valid for every taste and day of the week; you can turn on the outlet on Monday and turn it off, for example, on Wednesday, etc. 
Another feature of the outlet is a quick timer for turning it on or off. from 1 minute to 24 hours. 
In the menu you can rename the outlet and set scenarios. 
It is not yet possible to Russify the scripts, since they are directly downloaded from Chinese servers. As far as I understand, this is an example of working conditions with other smart gadgets: the temperature rises - turn on the air conditioner, drops - turn on the stove, etc.
✔ VIDEO REVIEW Xiaomi Mi Smart WiFi Socket
The socket REMEMBERS its state; if it was turned on and the voltage in the network was lost, it will turn on when voltage appears. If it was turned off, then nothing will happen, it will be turned off.✔ IMPORTANT ABOUT Xiaomi Mi Smart WiFi Socket
Second important point. If the Internet suddenly goes out, then the timers and countdown WILL WORK, making this outlet truly autonomous. Without the Internet, there will be no way to remotely control it or change timings!
Stay up to date with new products - - videos always come out faster!
The most excellent feature that I liked is that all settings, scenarios and banal on/off switching can be controlled without being on the same network as an outlet, and timers can also be added or changed even when located several kilometers from home. The idea with scripts is also very interesting, but this requires translation and the presence of other smart devices from Xiaomi. Like almost all products from Xiaomi, it is made with high quality, there are no complaints about the internals. The disadvantages include the Chinese plug, Chinese software, which you either need to get used to, or install a Russified plugin with the help of a little knowledge and root in your phone.
Good afternoon
There are a lot of reviews on xiaomi products. Some products have been reviewed multiple times. Today we will add another device from a famous Chinese brand to this list:
Smart Wi-Fi socket with additional USB output. Let's find out what this outlet can do, why it was called smart and find out what disadvantages are inherent in this outlet.
Often visiting a country house, I thought about how great it would be to turn on the heating of the boiler in advance. And in winter, also run a heater in the bedroom... But progress does not stand still and every year the elements of a smart home become more accessible. So 2 months ago I received it, which I installed on the boiler. I was very pleased with her work. But recently they provided us with permanent Internet and therefore it was decided to also take a wi-fi socket for testing. I chose this particular outlet only out of interest in Xiaomi products. Moreover, winter is still far away and I will be able to buy something else if necessary.
So, the socket came packaged in a white box stylized with the inscription Mi, exactly the size of the socket itself. The box itself is sealed in film. Almost all the specifications are on the back. 
In principle, everything is clear:
Dimensions 62x55x33mm
Operating voltage 180-250V
Output voltage USB 5V, 1A
Wi-Fi 2.4GHz b/g/n
Open the box. The outlet at the outlet turned out to be quite universal. Only the grounding of the European plug will remain unconnected. 
Inside we find the socket itself and instructions that are useless for our person. True, it has a QR code for downloading the SmartHome application, but only the official Chinese version. 
We immediately notice the Chinese 3C plug. For now, this socket is only available with this type of plug, and to use it in other countries you will need a high-quality adapter. The thickness of the plastic is also striking. It doesn't bend or squeak in any way. According to the manufacturer, this is a special fireproof plastic that can withstand temperatures up to 750 degrees.
There are inscriptions on the side of the protective film that say that for this device to work, you need to download the “SmartHome” application from the instructions. 
At the top there is a USB connector and an on/off button. By default, this button controls the USB connector and the outlet itself simultaneously. However, the actions of this button can be changed through the application. Also, holding it down for 5 seconds will reset all settings to factory settings. 
Well, let's try it at work. When you connect for the first time, the yellow status light starts blinking, indicating that the outlet has not yet been configured and is in discovery mode. After completing the registration procedure, the indicator will change its color to blue and will remain continuously lit during operation 
To connect and configure, download the SmartHome application. Basically, I connected the outlet using the original Chinese version of the application. However, then I discovered that on 4pda. Therefore, I will show the whole process in the Russian version.
connection to socket
Naturally, like any other Xiaomi device, you also need a mi account. On first launch we will be asked to log in, after which we can proceed to select the device we want to connect 
Then we need to select the network and its password. You can also connect to a hidden network. 
That's all. Our device can be controlled from anywhere via the Internet.
After successfully registering the device, according to the good xiaomi tradition, the application offered to download an updated version of the firmware for the socket. After a quick update, our device appears in the application list and becomes available for management.
You can control both the outlet itself and the USB output separately. Blue icon - output is on. Gray - disabled. If desired, you can connect a 5V intermediate relay to USB and control some other load.
And now we come to the part because of which the manufacturer called this outlet smart.
For each of the ports, we can connect different time intervals to turn on/off the outlet and tie them to specific days. The number of created rules is not limited. It turns out something like a timer that can work differently on different days. However, it should be noted that the time in the program is used according to the Chinese time zone and they will actually work 5 hours earlier than Moscow. This parameter cannot yet be changed in the program, and you need to take this into account before setting intervals 
Also, in addition to this, there is a separate scenario menu in which you can configure the behavior of the socket if movement was detected in the Xiaomi Ants camera, or if our phone connects/disconnects from the home network. 
Let's try it at work. USB output is stated as 5V1A. Without load we have almost standard 5V output 
Connect a 1A load 
The device does not support a 2A load and falls into the protection.
During testing, a very unpleasant point was revealed: the socket does not remember its state after a power outage, and after power is restored, both outputs remain in the off state. And no notifications about this are displayed in the application. Until you check it yourself, you won’t know that the outlet is disconnected.
I sent them feedback on this matter. Perhaps this point will be corrected in future firmware, but at the moment I consider this a big minus. On a stupid GSM socket this parameter can even be changed.
And finally, let's look at the intestines. It was not very easy to open, because... There are no gaps at all, and the hard plastic did not want to bend at all. The build quality is, of course, excellent. In principle, I didn’t expect anything else.
Xiaomi sockets are the latest devices included in Smart Home. They have proven themselves to be excellent devices for home protection. Smart sockets are capable of determining the power of currently used gadgets even in the absence of apartment owners. The materials used to create smart devices have fireproof protection, which makes it possible to negate the possibility of an emergency. Regardless of where you are, control is carried out using an application installed on your smartphone.
This is very convenient, because even if you forgot to turn off the iron or not, just turn off the power supply and calmly continue doing your work without rushing home. Also, if you turn on the coffee maker before your arrival, you will be greeted by the aromatic smell of coffee. The minimalistic design of the sockets captivates with its simplicity and discreetness. This device will look great in any home. Buying a Xiaomi socket means protecting your home from fires associated with power surges and forever forgetting about most daily household chores. Affordable prices and convenient addresses for pickup in Moscow will please you.
