Kan ik de Ajax Socket gebruiken om een boiler op afstand uit te schakelen?

Ja, dit is één van de meest gekozen toepassingen. Je kunt de boiler via de Ajax-app aan- of uitzetten en eventueel automatiseren met scenario’s, zodat hij alleen draait wanneer dat nodig is. Let daarbij wel op het maximale vermogen (2,5 kW) en of de boiler geschikt is om via een slimme stekker te schakelen.

Kan ik met de Ajax Socket het stroomverbruik van een apparaat meten?

Ja, de Socket kan energiegegevens weergeven, waaronder spanning, stroom en verbruik. Hierdoor krijg je inzicht in kosten en kun je apparaten vergelijken, bijvoorbeeld om sluipverbruik te ontdekken. Dit is ook handig bij verhuurwoningen of locaties waar je beter grip wilt op verbruik.

Werkt de Ajax Socket ook als ik niet thuis ben?

Ja, je bedient de Socket via de Ajax-app. Zolang je Ajax-systeem online is via de hub (bijvoorbeeld via internet), kun je op afstand schakelen en statusinformatie bekijken. Dit maakt het praktisch voor vakantiewoningen, bijgebouwen of situaties waarin je tussentijds wilt controleren of apparaten uit staan.

Kan ik de Ajax Socket automatiseren met scenario’s in het alarmsysteem?

Ja, je kunt scenario’s instellen zoals het uitschakelen van bepaalde apparaten wanneer het alarmsysteem wordt ingeschakeld, of het inschakelen van verlichting op een bepaald tijdstip. Daarmee wordt de Socket niet alleen een slimme stekker, maar ook een handige automatiseringsmodule binnen je Ajax ecosysteem.

Is de Ajax Socket geschikt voor buitengebruik?

Nee, de Ajax Socket heeft IP20 en is bedoeld voor binnengebruik. Wil je buiten schakelen, dan is het belangrijk een oplossing te kiezen die geschikt is voor buitenomgevingen en voldoende beschermd is tegen vocht en stof. Plaats de Socket daarom altijd in een droge binnenruimte of in een geschikte beschermde behuizing volgens de juiste toepassing.

Ajax Socket Black SMART

SKU	7142

The black Ajax Socket is a smart plug (Type F) that allows you to switch connected devices on and off remotely, automate them, and monitor energy consumption. The Socket is often chosen to save energy, automatically switch devices on at set times or in specific scenarios, and to gain insight into unnecessary power consumption (such as standby power).

You simply insert the Socket between the existing plug and the outlet. Then, you can control appliances, set up scenarios, and view consumption data via the Ajax app. This is useful for water heaters, lighting, electric heaters, or appliances in a vacation home, for example, because you can keep track of consumption and avoid leaving appliances running unnecessarily.

What is the Ajax Socket most commonly used for?

The Ajax Socket is ideal for managing appliances remotely and gaining insight into power consumption. In practice, this smart plug is often used to run a boiler or heating system only when needed, to automate lighting when you're not home, or to control appliances in a rental property.

Energy metering is also useful for businesses or home offices: you can quickly see which devices are quietly consuming a lot and where you can save by using smart scenarios.

Automate with scenarios in the Ajax app

Scenarios let you automate tasks, reducing manual switching. Think of switching off selected appliances when the alarm system is armed, or automatically turning on lights at set times. This makes the Socket not only a smart plug but also a practical extension of your Ajax system.

Because everything runs through the Ajax app, you can adjust settings when your situation changes, for example, during seasonal use (chalet, mobile home) or during changing rental periods.

Measure energy consumption and gain insight into costs

A major advantage of the Ajax Socket is its ability to monitor energy data. You can read voltage, current, and consumption, giving you insight into an appliance's actual cost. This is useful when you want to save money, but also, for example, if you're renting out a property and want to better understand energy consumption.

The Socket also features overload and voltage spike protection. This helps better protect connected equipment, provided you adhere to the maximum power and application (indoor use).

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the Ajax Socket to switch off a boiler remotely?

Yes, this is one of the most popular applications. You can switch the boiler on or off via the Ajax app and automate it with scenarios, so it only runs when needed. However, be sure to check the maximum power (2.5 kW) and whether the boiler is compatible with a smart plug.

Can I measure a device's power consumption with the Ajax Socket?

Yes, the Socket can display energy data, including voltage, current, and consumption. This gives you insight into costs and allows you to compare appliances, for example, to identify standby power consumption. This is also useful for rental properties or locations where you want to better manage energy consumption.

Does the Ajax Socket also work when I'm not at home?

Yes, you control the Socket via the Ajax app. As long as your Ajax system is online via the hub (for example, via the internet), you can switch remotely and view status information. This makes it practical for vacation homes, outbuildings, or situations where you want to check whether appliances are switched off.

Can I automate the Ajax Socket with scenarios in the alarm system?

Yes, you can set up scenarios like turning off certain devices when the alarm system is armed, or turning on lights at a specific time. This makes the Socket not only a smart plug, but also a useful automation module within your Ajax ecosystem.

Is the Ajax Socket suitable for outdoor use?

No, the Ajax Socket is rated at IP20 and is intended for indoor use. If you want to switch outdoors, it's important to choose a solution that is suitable for outdoor environments and adequately protected against moisture and dust. Therefore, always place the Socket in a dry indoor location or in a suitable, protected enclosure for its intended use.
