Standardized testing protocols show the Amazon Basics Smart In-Wall Outlet utilizes the ESP32-WROOM-32 chipset, which supports Bluetooth-assisted provisioning for simplified network onboarding. The mechanical relay is rated for a 15A resistive load. Technical specifications indicate the housing depth is approximately 1.5 inches, requiring a junction box with a minimum depth of 2.5 inches to maintain antenna integrity and accommodate conductor management.
Material analysis identifies the internal components as originating from an Ilintek ODM chassis, though the firmware is restricted to the Alexa ecosystem. Performance metrics indicate that the device functions as a standard outlet during network or cloud service interruptions. Manual override is provided via individual tactile buttons for both AC sockets.
Functional feature highlights:
- Control states: Independent top and bottom outlet switching.
- Setup protocols: Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
- Ecosystem compatibility: Dedicated Alexa integration.
For installations where depth constraints are a factor, the Amazon Basics In-Wall Outlet provides a flush-mount alternative to external plug-in modules.
This hardware represents a permanent installation within the in-wall USB smart outlets classification, prioritizing aesthetic integration over portability.
