Skipping over the need for an electrician to install the things, good luck building a wifi-controlled wall outlet in small quantity for $20. A cheap solid-state relay is already going to run you at least $5 in 1ku quantity. Then add the radio and its power circuit and the control logic and do at least a tiny bit of safety testing.
Here's another one that was really suspicious, mainly because of listed specs vs. package vs. power. They also didn't have a prototype or any detailed info to support the feasibility of their renders.

- sliverstorm 15y agoHeck, good luck making an effective wall-socket with a cheap solid-state relay at all! Waste power will add up fast, and may even heat up fast!
- glimcat 15y agoUsually need a 2 or 3 cm square heatsink. But fat lot of good that will do once you enclose it in a metal box and stick it in a wall.
- 0x12 15y agoThink 'dimmer+wifi radio' for the parts pricing. So whatever it is that you come up with it is never going to be cheaper than a dimmer + the price of a wifi radio plus some mark-up.
