The Anker Smart Plug gives you full control over your solar battery

At Robinsun, we want you to take control of your energy. That’s why we introduce the Anker Smart Plug, a smart device that lets you monitor and manage your electricity use with ease, and helps you stay prepared for power outages.

Benefits of the Smart Plug

The Anker Smart Plug connects directly to your home network, allowing you to monitor real-time energy consumption and control devices remotely through the Anker app.

Just plug it into a standard outlet, connect your appliance, and you’ll instantly start seeing its energy usage. Thanks to its precise current monitoring, you can identify which devices consume the most and reduce energy waste.

The Smart Plug lets you:

  • Monitor real-time energy usage
  • Control devices remotely
  • Track consumption and avoid wasting power
  • Schedule device operation times
  • Set countdown timers

Get ready for power outages by knowing exactly how much energy you need

By monitoring your appliances’ actual consumption, you can make smart decisions about which devices to connect directly to your Solarbank 2 during an outage.

This information becomes especially valuable in emergencies, when the energy stored in your battery can make the difference between staying powered or going dark.

With the Smart Plug, you can know exactly how much energy your fridge consumes. So if the power goes out, you'll know how much of your Solarbank 2’s capacity is needed to keep your food from spoiling.

Likewise, by monitoring devices like your Wi-Fi router, lamps, or phone chargers, you can plan how to prioritize your stored energy to maintain communication and essential lighting without relying on the grid.

This allows you to anticipate outages, avoid waste, and use every stored watt wisely, making sure your solar system not only generates power it also protects you when it matters most.

Why the Smart Plug is the perfect companion for your Solarbank 2

This smart plug is designed to work specifically with the Solarbank 2 series. It is not compatible with earlier models such as the Solarbank E1600.

Through the Anker app, you can sync plug usage with peak solar hours (when the Solarbank 2 is full or actively charging), allowing you to use free solar energy and reduce your dependence on the grid.

Use it to:

  • Automate usage during sunny hours: run selected devices only when solar power is available
  • Avoid draining the battery at night: schedule devices to turn on only when it makes sense
  • Maximize self-consumption: use what you produce, when and where you need it
  • Track high-consumption devices: get detailed usage data in the app

Install the Smart Plug in 5 easy steps

Setup is as simple as plug and play. Just insert it into an outlet and pair it with your Anker app, no tools or technicians required.

To pair:

  1. Plug in the Smart Plug and press the on/off button for 2 seconds
  2. The LED will blink green slowly to indicate pairing mode
  3. Once connected, the LED will show solid green
  4. If the LED blinks red slowly, the outlet may be faulty
  5. To reset, press and hold the button for 7 seconds

Conclusion

Whether you're looking to make the most of your solar system or simply want to monitor and manage your energy use while preparing for outages, the Anker Smart Plug is the perfect solution.

With Robinsun’s ongoing commitment to user-friendly technology, this small device is another step toward a more efficient, energy-aware, and future-ready home.
