Two smart plugs with power consumption monitoring discounted to 499 CZK. They have phenomenal ratings

Smart plugs with power consumption monitoring are one of the most practical elements of a smart home – and now they are more accessible than ever. You can get a pack of two SONOFF iPlug S60 plugs for 499 CZK instead of the original 689 CZK, which comes out to just 250 CZK per piece. For this price, you get power consumption monitoring, timed switching, remote control via an app, and voice commands via Google Assistant or Alexa.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you want to measure appliance consumption, automate switching, or control plugs remotely.
⚠️ Consider if you require Apple HomeKit or have older appliances without a Schuko plug.
💡 At 250 CZK per piece, this is one of the cheapest ways to get a smart plug with a wattmeter on the Czech market.

Why this plug is interesting

The SONOFF iPlug S60 is the successor to the popular S26 series, but in a smaller design and with added power consumption monitoring. The wattmeter is the main added value – in the app, you can see the current consumption in watts, consumption history by day and month, and you can set up notifications when a limit is exceeded. This is useful for tracking how much a refrigerator, freezer, space heater, or aquarium actually consumes.

The plug can handle a load of up to 16 A / 4000 W peak; for long-term operation, the manufacturer recommends 2500 W for resistive loads (heating, electric kettle) and 350 W for inductive loads (motors, compressors). This is more than sufficient for most household appliances.

App and automation

The plug is controlled via the eWeLink app, available for both Android and iOS. Pairing takes place over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi – simply scan the QR code and enter the network password. The app offers timed switching with a variety of options: one-time timer, daily/weekly schedule, switching according to sunrise and sunset, or even integration with IFTTT for advanced scenarios.

For home automation enthusiasts, it’s important that the plug works with Home Assistant – either via cloud integration or locally after flashing alternative Tasmota firmware (requires technical knowledge and disassembly). Voice control via Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa works seamlessly directly from the app.

Practical aspects: dimensions, safety, compatibility

Rozměry 50 × 50 × 61,5 mm a kulatý tvar znamenají, že zásuvka nezabírá místo sousední pozice ve dvojzásuvce – což byl častý problém u starších modelů. Hmotnost pouhých 79 gramů nijak nezatěžuje zásuvku ve zdi. Materiál je nehořlavý ABS V0 a zásuvka má dětskou pojistku.

An important note on compatibility: the plug uses a hybrid EU/Schuko format with side grounding contacts (so-called “packy”), but does not have a grounding pin. This means that older appliances with a round plug without side contacts will not physically fit. However, the vast majority of modern appliances have a Schuko-type plug (CEE 7/7) with side contacts, so this is usually not a problem in practice.

What users say

On Alza, the SONOFF iPlug S60 has a rating of 4.9 out of 5 (244 ratings) and 98% of customers recommend it. This is an exceptionally high score. Users most often praise easy pairing, compact dimensions, power consumption measurement with clear graphs, and reliable operation. Satisfaction with Home Assistant integration and the option of timing according to sunrise/sunset is also frequently mentioned.

Critical voices primarily concern the absence of Apple HomeKit – if you are in the Apple ecosystem, this plug will not work with the Home app or Siri. Several users report occasional disconnections from Wi-Fi, which can complicate automations – the problem is more common with Wi-Fi 6 routers. Some also mention that the indicator LEDs are very dim and almost invisible in light (it’s necessary to shade them during pairing). And note: the plug only works on 2.4 GHz; it does not support 5GHz networks.

When it doesn’t make sense

If you are an Apple HomeKit user and want to control the plug via Siri or the Home app, look elsewhere – the Sonoff S60 does not support this platform. Plugs from Eve or Meross are more suitable for the Apple ecosystem. Similarly, if you have older appliances with a round plug without side contacts, you will not be able to physically insert them into this plug.

The plug is also not intended as a safety disconnector – after switching off, voltage remains in one contact (depending on how the house installation is wired). For any manipulation with the appliance, always physically unplug it. And if you have a problematic Wi-Fi network with frequent outages, expect that the plug may occasionally go offline.

Verdict: who it’s worth it for

The SONOFF iPlug S60 is the choice for those who want to measure appliance consumption, automate switching, or control plugs remotely – and do not require Apple HomeKit. At 499 CZK for two plugs (250 CZK per piece), it is one of the best offers on the market. A rating of 4.9 out of 5 from almost 250 customers speaks for itself. If you are building a smart home based on Google Home, Alexa, or Home Assistant, this is a sure bet.

Do you measure the power consumption of electrical appliances at home, or is the figure on your bill sufficient?
