Trendnet Home Smart Switch with Wireless Extender

A networking device, with a little something extra

The Trendnet Home Smart Switch is designed to bridge the gap between a network wireless extender HomePlug and a smart electrical outlet.

It’s designed for use with a number of home automation projects or simply just one remotely operated and automated item of houseware. For example, you can be sitting there enjoying the extra stretch of your home wireless coverage, when you decide to switch on the radio in the kitchen. Provided the Home Smart Switch is configured as correctly, a single tap on the accompanying app will power up the radio.
