D-Link releases compact smart outlet with Alexa and Assistant support

D-Link releases the Mini Wi-Fi Smart Plug DSP-W118, a smart socket with compact dimensions so that two can be used side by side. The smart socket has support for Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and ifttt.

The Smart Plug DSP-W118 connects via WiFi and can be controlled via the mydlink app or the voice assistants from Amazon and Google. The smart socket can also be connected to other smart home systems via ifttt.

D-Links DSP-W118 is the successor to the DSP-W115 introduced last year. The new model is a bit more compact, so that two can be used side by side. Consumption is also lower according to the specifications; D-Link states that the smart plug consumes less than 3W. With the previous model, that was a maximum of 5W.

There is support for 802.11n/g WiFi with wpa and wpa2 security. The smart plug has an on/off button and a status LED. The weight is 122 grams and the dimensions are 60x60x65mm. D-Link offers the smart socket for a suggested retail price of EUR 32.90.
