Control appliances from afar

You’re 5 minutes into your journey and you get that nagging feeling you may have left the iron on! At the click of a button you can turn it off using your smartphone. Introducing mydlink Home automation products, you can take control from afar! You can easily trigger certain actions to take place within your home after a particular motion is detected by the camera. i.e. when the door opens, the hallway lamp comes on.

Monitor power usage
You can also use it to monitor the power usage of all your electrical appliances, turning them on and off manually or automatically, whenever, wherever, with just a few swipes and taps on the customisable, free mydlink Home app.

Play music from your phone to your speakers
Over your WiFi connection, you can bring those home speakers back to life, streaming music from your smartphone through the ‘Music Everywhere’ extender that plugs into the wall and connects to your speakers via the audio jack. More about this below…

Since both devices are connected to smart plugs, it’s not a problem at all. Just reach for your smartphone, tap into the mydlink Home app and select each light in turn to schedule on/off times for every day you’re away.

Wi-Fi Motion Sensor
Big things come from this small sensor. Use it in conjunction with the mydlink smart plugs and cameras to switch devices on or off, or to start recording footage and send you an alert. Have better control of your home.
SCENARIO: You’re delayed home and the kids will be letting themselves in in the dark. You’ve got a DCH-S150 Wi-Fi motion sensor set up on the doorway and the hallway lamp is rigged up to the DSP-W215 smart plug. You can just log in to the mydlink Home app via your tablet and set a policy so that as soon as the kids walk in, the hall is flooded with light. At the same time, you can get a notification on your phone that they’re home and safe.

Music Everywhere

This magical Wi-Fi audio extender enables you to wirelessly stream music from a smartphone, tablet or computer, to a set of connected speakers anywhere in your Wi-Fi network.

The plug-in device can also be used to extend your Wi-Fi in hard to reach areas of your home.
