QUBO 10A Smart Plug from Hero Group Review
The QUBO 10A from Hero Group is the only smart plug under Rs 1,000 offering both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth dual connectivity, ensuring you can still toggle appliances during internet outages through Bluetooth fallback. Its compact design is specifically engineered to avoid blocking adjacent sockets on Indian power strips.
Our Verdict
At Rs 849 with energy monitoring, dual connectivity, and compact design from the Hero Group, this is the best budget smart plug for standard appliances in India. The 10A limit means you cannot use it with geysers or ACs, and occasional connectivity drops have been reported by some users.
Best For
Budget-conscious buyers automating TVs, fans, and lamps who want reliable control even during internet outages in their 1-2 BHK apartment.
Consider Alternatives If
Users needing to automate heavy appliances like geysers, ACs, or microwave ovens that require 16A rating.
