▲Let’s take a look at the outer packaging first. Its packaging box adopts a very simple design style. There is only a sunflower brand logo on the pure black packaging box. Then, below the logo, you can also see that this smart plug-in board supports WiFi connection and counts the power.
▲ Let’s take a look at the appearance of this plug-in board. It still adopts a particularly simple styling design. The pure black body design looks particularly atmospheric in terms of vision. If the hole position is arranged, 4 five-head hole positions that support independent split control are reserved, just like having 4 smart sockets and , which is usually enough to handle the plug-in and use of multiple devices.
▲In the right area of the plug-in board, a circular solid power button is reserved. On the periphery of the button is an power indicator , which can display the power-on status and networking status of this plug-in board. For example, when I first power-on, I saw this indicator flashing all the time.
▲It is worth mentioning that the four jacks equipped with are equipped with protective doors inside. The single hole requires more than 75N (about 15 catties) to be opened. I think this is a very good design. It can effectively avoid accidental contact between children at home and greatly improve safety performance.
▲On the back of this plug-in board, a small round anti-slip pad is reserved on the four corners, which allows the plug-in board to be placed smoothly on the desktop. A hole for hanging walls is also reserved on the left and right sides, so that the wiring board can be hung on the bottom of the wall or desktop, which is particularly practical.
▲Look at the three-wire plug , from the text above, you can see that its specification is 10A 240V, which is completely sufficient for powering computers, fans, desk lamps, TVs and other products, or charging mobile phones, tablets and other devices.
2. User experience
▲As a smart plug-in board, it is natural that you must first install the app - Sunflower Remote Control on your phone. After the installation is completed, you can bind this plug-in board to the phone in the app. The whole process is quite simple. According to the guidelines in the app, you can complete it in a few simple steps. If you need to control the computer, you can also add the computer host here. It should be noted when binding that this device currently only supports wireless networks in the 2.4G frequency band. If you only have a 5G frequency band at home, remember to switch the wireless network first.
It is worth mentioning that this plug-in board also supports Bluetooth binding. If you encounter difficulties in network binding, you might as well try the Bluetooth binding method.
▲If you want to remotely turn on and off with this smart plug-in board, there is an operation that is necessary, that is, you need to install the PC version of Sunflower on your computer, and then log in to the same account as the mobile app to complete the binding. Finally, you need to enable the AC recovery function in the BIOS page of the host, so that you can successfully realize the remote boot operation.
▲After successfully binding this smart plug-in board to the mobile app, you can see the relevant control page when you enter the plug-in board page. There are four socket holes that can be controlled separately. Each of them supports binding to the computer host separately, and then implements separate power switch control, timing switch, countdown shutdown and other different controls. This way, multiple devices in the same area can jointly realize remote control without interfering with each other. It is particularly practical in the company.
Judging from my actual experience during this period, among the many functions of this plug-in board, I use a lot of time/countdown to turn on and off. For example, when working remotely or from home, I can set the boot time to a specified time point in the mobile app, and when working at the end of work, I can set the shutdown time to a countdown, so that I don’t have to worry about forgetting to turn on and off the power when remotely.
▲In addition, because the Sunflower smart plug-in board P1Pro I bought is the power metering version, it also has a very practical function, that is, the power statistics function. If you want to check the daily power consumption, we only need to view today's power consumption, current current, current power consumption, today's power consumption, today's power consumption, today's switching times and other data in the mobile APP. You can also view the power consumption in one cycle such as weekly and month, so that you can understand your power consumption data in the corresponding time period very intuitively.
▲With this smart plug-in board, in addition to helping me remotely turn on and off the computer, I can also use the host control page in the app to perform remote desktop control, remote viewing of files in the computer, remote transfer of files, etc. The overall experience can greatly improve the office efficiency when I am at home, and it is really practical when I can't go to the company.
3. Simple experience
As mentioned above, I bought Sunflower Smart Plug Board P1Pro to improve the office efficiency when working from home. So after buying it, I placed it in the office. Then I actually used it during this period. I deeply experienced various functions such as remote access to the company's computer, remote switching on and off, and transferring files when I was not in the company. It can be said that it perfectly met my related needs. Overall, I am still very satisfied. If it is not enough, I think it would be more perfect if you can have several USB charging ports, so that you can directly charge your phone or plug it into small-power appliances and other devices for use.
