Milesight WS523 LoRaWAN Smart Portable Socket

Efficient energy management starts with insight and control. The Milesight WS523 Smart Portable Socket enables remote control and monitoring of electrical devices, making it easy to optimize energy consumption and improve operational efficiency.

The WS523 allows users to switch connected devices on or off locally or remotely, while also offering time-based scheduling for automated operation. This makes it ideal for reducing unnecessary energy usage and managing equipment more efficiently.

In addition to control, the WS523 provides detailed energy monitoring, including voltage, current, power, power factor and total energy consumption. These insights support data-driven decisions to reduce energy costs and improve system performance.

With LoRaWAN® connectivity, the device ensures long-range, low-power communication and seamless integration into IoT platforms. Combined with the Milesight IoT Cloud or third-party systems, it enables centralized monitoring, automation and real-time alerts.

Designed as a plug-and-play solution, the WS523 supports multiple international socket types and can be easily deployed in both new installations and retrofit projects.
