The GHome Smart Power Strip utilizes a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi architecture based on the Tuya/Gosund firmware lineage. Technical analysis confirms the presence of three independently controllable AC outlets and a bank of three USB ports that are switched as a single logical zone. Material specifications include standard flame-retardant ABS for the housing; however, internal bus bars are of a thin-gauge design, which limits the unit's suitability for simultaneous high-wattage loads like laser printers and space heaters.
Performance metrics indicate typical cloud-dependent latency ranging from 200ms to 500ms. The device lacks integrated shunt resistors, meaning real-time wattage tracking is not supported. Signal fidelity reports suggest the 2.4GHz radio module may experience interference when high-draw appliances are active on the adjacent outlets, potentially leading to intermittent network disconnection. Compliance with Alexa and Google Assistant protocols is provided via the Smart Life application layer.
System integration requires a dedicated 2.4GHz SSID to ensure reliable handshakes on modern mesh networks utilizing band steering.
Summary: An entry-level 3-outlet smart strip with group-controlled USB ports, optimized for basic automation where energy monitoring is not a requirement.
