Switchable IP socket that allows for the control, monitoring, and measurement of current power consumption through a protective contact socket. Thanks to the integrated micro-switch, no additional network cable is needed, as the SecureSocketSwitch features two built-in network ports. The high-performance and safety relay with silver tin oxide contacts (AgSnO2) offers high switching capacity, a long lifespan, and reliable, trouble-free operation. The network connection is secured by default with 1024-bit SSL encryption and can be further secured or enhanced with server and client certificates. Consumption data is recorded for up to 30 days and can be displayed via the web monitor. Many additional programmable software features allow for targeted and efficient control, reduction, or optimization of power consumption. The SecureSocketSwitch is lightweight, easy to use, and accessible via the internet at any time, without the need for apps or tools.
