This communication type uses an in-built SIM card and works just like data on your smart phone. Plugzio devices with cellular capabilities will automatically connect and communicate with Plugzio Cloud servers as soon as they are installed and powered on.

Note: No internet setup steps are required to get the device connected making Plugzio cellular devices the easiest type to setup.

This type communicates with Plugzio Cloud via a local WiFi internet connection. This unit type requires a one-time setup for Plugzio units to save and connect to the local WiFi credentials. WiFi router and network must be purchased separately. Plugzio WiFi units are noticeably more affordable than other types - in quantity, the price savings will exceed the cost of an additional router and network (if an existing reliable network is not already available).

NOTE: It is recommended that Plugzio units be connected to reliable WiFi connections to allow for real-time control and monitoring.
