IQ Smart Socket

Upgrade any room with a clean, in-wall duplex outlet you can control from your IQ Panel and mobile app. The IQ Smart Socket gives you two controllable receptacles in a single faceplate—perfect for lamps, space heaters (within rating), dehumidifiers, holiday lights, and more. Available in the latest PowerG model for long-range, encrypted reliability; a legacy Z-Wave model is also supported for older IQ systems.

  • Hands-on training so everyone knows how to control and automate each outlet

  • 24/7 support & monitoring through your IQ system and app

  • Future-proof options: PowerG for new IQ panels, Z-Wave for compatible legacy setups.


Key Features


  • Two independently controlled outlets in a single, tamper-resistant wall receptacle. Local buttons and status LEDs for each outlet.

  • PowerG model (IQSKT-PG): Long-range, encrypted wireless designed for IQ Panel 4 / IQ Pro / IQ4 Hub/NS (PowerG versions).

  • Z-Wave model (QS-2100-P01): Dual Z-Wave outlet with real-time energy usage on the device and on the IQ Panel, plus historical energy reporting.

  • Smart rules & scenes: Automate schedules (e.g., turn on a lamp at sunset, shut off a space heater when you arm “Away”).

  • Safety-minded design: Indoor use, total 15A / 1800W maximum for both outlets combined.

Frequently Asked Questions


Can I control the two outlets separately?


Yes. Each receptacle has its own on/off control and LED—locally on the faceplate and via your IQ Panel/app.


What is the maximum load?


The total combined load is 15 Amps (1800W @ 120VAC resistive) for both outlets together. Do not exceed this limit.


Does the PowerG version report energy usage?


The Z-Wave model (QS-2100-P01) supports real-time and historical energy reporting. The PowerG model documentation does not list energy metering. If energy analytics matter, we can use the Z-Wave version or a dedicated metering plug.


Is it safe for bathrooms, garages, or outdoors?


It’s indoor, dry-location only. For damp or outdoor locations, ask us about appropriate, listed alternatives.


Do I need a neutral wire?


Yes. As a hard-wired in-wall outlet, the PowerG model requires line, neutral, and ground connections. Our licensed technicians will handle the wiring and code compliance.


Which IQ panels are compatible?


PowerG model: IQ Panel 4, IQ Pro, IQ4 Hub/NS (PowerG).Z-Wave model: Works with compatible Z-Wave-equipped IQ panels; we’ll confirm your exact setup.
