This also counts towards child protection, however in my experience a child can easily pick inside with a pen or something, so it’s wise to leave the relay off and lock the button when not in use. There is a spring loaded protective cover over the L & N holes, preventing dust or other objects going inside easily. This brings the antenna closer to the glass panel instead of laying in the back, improving range and connectivity. The communication module is placed perpendicular in relation to the main PCB instead of laying flat. Removing the top cap reveals an interesting layout of things. It’s all one, unanimous, square-shaped case with nothing dangling on the outside. The specs of this smart outlet are printed on the back, as a reminder to whoever is installing this smart outlet. The back has the three terminals ( L, N, G) labelled and conveniently separated, with the ground being at the top. You can turn of the LED completely, as well as lock the button so the device is not toggleable from it, this is the so-called child-lock mode. Moving onto the plug, the pairing button is unnoticeably placed on the front next to an indicator LED. The matte look is given off by the back plastic bracket and a pale color layer on top. The glass appears matte when looked at directly, but in reality it’s completely transparent. You can remove it with a flathead screwdriver, inserting it between the plastic frame of the glass and the metal mounting bracket. The glass panel snaps in place by pushing it on to the metal mounting bracket. Looking at the socket from the sides gives off a faint 3D appearance, which I expect to be differently pronounced in the color variants this devices is sold (white, black, gold and gray). It’s much heavier than I expected, certainly better than standard wall sockets mounting brackets. The mounting backplate is made out of some metal alloy with various mounting holes drilled for different wall boxes. It’s thick, heavy and smooth around the edges. Unpacking the glass panel frame, I immediately got a sense of good quality. Contents are neatly and orderly packed, with the glass panel being in a separate box to avoid scratches and damage. The BSEED 16A Smart Socket came packaged in a cardboard box, containing the socket itself, the glass panel that you assemble yourself, a user manual and some screws for installation. Ultimately, they are going in your wall so you want something durable and dependable.
