The World's First 3G Smart Plug For Power Cut And Temperature Monitoring via EE, O2, Three And Vodafone

LONDON - March 15, 2016 - PRLog -- iSocket gadgets have been widely accepted by boat owners to monitor shore power, customers with remote cottages to monitor power and temperature to fridges, fish tank owners for controlling the temperature in their aquariums as well as the power supply.

The new iSocket 3G UK operates regardless of Wi-Fi or cloud and sends an alert directly to the mobile phone when the the power fails or temperature changes occur. The customer inserts a SIM card from his favourite provider, texts a simple message - MAKEMEBOSS - and the device is ready for action. A prompt alert about a power failure or temperature changes allows customers to take immediate steps to fix the problem - either themselves or through a maintenance company.

iSocket Systems promotes the idea of simple management of the device via text messages - admittedly not high-tech, but simple and reliable. Doug Lumley, a spokesperson at iSocket Systems comments on this: "The main concern of our customers with this device is to solve a power loss notification problem - simply, and without frustrating configuration. Most of our customers are not tech savvy people - and are often elderly. Taking these factors into consideration, simply texting to the device is the perfect solution for our customers to get them ready to go with PAYG SIM cards without needing to install any apps or perform any complicated configuration."

Visitors to the iSocket stand at London ExCel had an oppurtunity to test the new gadget and see for themselves how quickly and simply they can get a power cut or temperature rise alert to their phone.

However, in addition to providing a texting option to operate the device, the company provides apps for both Android and iPhone. The new plug also has Open API to enable third parties to write different applications and build services around iSocket 3G. The plug also supports such features as Smart Thermostat, Reboot by Call and Scheduler.

So far, the company do not plan to charge for the service and will allow customers in the UK to buy a SIM card from their favourite provider. The list price for the product is set to £169 inc. tax. iSocket 3G UK is now available for customers to pre-order from https://www.isocket3g.com/ with 20% discount and estimated despatch in May 2016.
