Performance metrics for the Geeni Smart Surge Protector indicate a total load capacity of 1875W (125V / 15A). Material analysis of the internal mechanical relays suggests they are susceptible to heat generation when sustained loads exceed 12A. The surge protection rating is listed at approximately 460 Joules, which provides a minimal buffer against electrical transients and utilizes sacrificial Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs). USB output is limited to a shared 2.1A, which is inefficient for modern high-speed charging requirements.
Technical data confirms the device utilizes a Tuya-based ESP8266 or ESP32 chipset operating on the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi band. The architecture is cloud-dependent, meaning command latency is subject to remote server response times ranging from 200ms to 1500ms. Forensic analysis of community reports indicates that the firmware may experience memory leaks during extended uptime, which can lead to "ghost disconnections" and necessitate a physical power cycle.
Compliance standards indicate a high sensitivity to 2.4GHz network congestion, particularly in environments with multiple active IoT nodes.
Summary: This unit provides remote software control over individual outlets but is constrained by legacy USB throughput and a low surge protection ceiling.
