Google 우선 소스Published2016.07.19 11:13
The STORYLiNK Smart Plug S1 is ushering in the popularization of the Internet of Things (IoT).

SEMA Electronics Co., Ltd., a spin-off from Samsung and a global manufacturing company with manufacturing competitiveness in the network and storage devices sector, has launched the STORYLiNK Smart Plug S1, the first domestic distribution product in its IoT lineup, exclusively online through Auction.

Smart plugs are devices used in homes, offices, stores, and workplaces. They can be easily connected to power strips or outlets, allowing convenient remote control and management via a smartphone app. They are a fundamental component of the IoT , where WiFi connectivity is a core platform. Therefore, the launch of the STORYLiNK Smart Plug S1 from Sema Electronics, a company with extensive experience in manufacturing wireless networks, is generating significant anticipation.

STORYLiNK Smart Plug S1 provides not only electricity cost savings through remote standby power cutoff using a smartphone app, but also hourly and daily On/Off reservation schedule functions, allowing consumers to conveniently and precisely control the remote power of IoT- connected power devices they have configured themselves. It is a true IoT product that can be controlled via a smartphone app from anywhere in the world through WiFi connection.


Even in outdoor installation areas without WiFi connectivity, Offline mode allows IoT power control via an app. The authorization feature, which allows simultaneous control from multiple smart devices, is particularly noteworthy. Furthermore, the mood lighting built into the product can be turned on and off via a smartphone app. It is noteworthy that attention was paid to adopting small but essential features.

Currently, IoT services provided by domestic telecommunications companies such as SK Telecom, KT, and LG Uplus are based on subscription and monthly payment plans, which require users to pay a fixed monthly fee. In addition, there are significant restrictions on using multiple devices, which is hindering the popularization of IoT.

The Smart Plug S1 can be purchased individually, and is expected to be a product that opens up the popularization of IoT as it is released at a reasonable price through in-house manufacturing and production and direct online sales.

Sema Electronics said that the Smart Plug S1 is expected to become an essential item in the smart era that allows users to build their own IoT environment by connecting various types of electronic devices, such as strengthening home security by setting On/Off schedules for lights connected to a multi-tap or plug, or setting a night power timer for auxiliary signs in small stores, and that it will strive to establish itself as a premium IoT brand by providing continuous S/W upgrades and realizing customer satisfaction services.

The Smart Plug S1 will be available for a limited quantity launch special price for two weeks starting on the 18th as an exclusive online auction partnership promotion.
