I have a few questions about smart plugs in my head. How do they basically work? Do they connect via Wi-Fi or are other protocols used as well? Do they plug into regular outlets and control the flow of electricity? I wonder if they're really useful or just a 'cool' feature. Do you think they're practical?
How do smart plugs work and what are they used for?

Smart plugs that plug into regular outlets can connect via Wi-Fi, Zigbee, or Bluetooth to control the flow of electricity, turning devices on and off. Programming household appliances to operate on a schedule makes things easier and helps save electricity—it's not just 'cool,' but actually quite functional in my opinion.
After doing some research, I found out that smart plugs connect via protocols like Wi-Fi or Zigbee and can cut or restore power when plugged into a regular outlet. They’re really useful for charging batteries and scheduling tasks, like automatically turning off an iron. In what situations do you think they’re most helpful?
