Technical specifications for the Tongou Smart Wifi Switch indicate a peak current rating of 63A, though performance metrics suggest a recommended sustained load limit of 50A (80% capacity) for optimal thermal management. The hardware utilizes a magnetic latching relay to minimize parasitic power consumption, paired with a manganese copper measurement shunt for energy tracking. Material analysis identifies the core chipset as the Tuya CB2S, providing 2.4GHz connectivity for historical energy logging via the Smart Life ecosystem.
Performance metrics show that the mechanical contact points are susceptible to wear under high inductive loads, such as large motors or compressors. The physical design is optimized for 35mm DIN-rail mounting, featuring a manual override toggle and visual status indicators. Due to the reliance on cloud-based protocols, data synchronization and remote "kill-switch" functionality may be impacted by local network instability or cloud server latency.
Aggregated specification data lists the following:
- Modes of operation: Remote Manual Toggle, Energy Telemetry, Scheduled Load Shedding
The TONGOU Smart Wifi Switch with Power Monitoring is an affordable tool for managing non-critical sub-panels. For users who require a breaker that integrates natively with North American panel busbars and offers revenue-grade accuracy, the Leviton 2nd Gen Smart Circuit Breaker with Remote provides a more robust hardware foundation.
This device is classified as a modular component within the smart circuit breakers and automated switchgear category.
