Usage & Final Thoughts
I’ve had the ES03-WiFi installed in my computer for a couple of weeks. It works as any “smart” switch would work, except this one is made for your PC. Obviously you have the ability to turn your system on using the app on your phone or tablet, but you can also use voice commands as the ES03-WiFi is compatible with both Alexa and Google home. So you could have a room or scene setup that turns on the lights in your office, turns on the AC, and with the ES03-WiFi turns your computer on as well.
I think one of the best benefits of the ES03-WiFi is that if your network is connected to the internet you can power on / off your system from anywhere. This is really helpful if you forget to turn your PC off. Going out for the night or on a vacation and realize your left your PC on? Open the app and simply turn it off, its that easy.
The installation of the ES03-WiFi can be a little tedious, but the instructions are easy enough to follow to get everything setup correctly. It would have been nice if the button on the device was a bit larger so it was easier to press.
Right now you can pick up the ES03-WiFi at our favorite online retailer for $41.05. Overall ThinkComputers gives the SilverStone ES03-WiFi PC Remote Switch a 9 out of 10 score.
Pros:
– Turn on / off your PC from anywhere
– Works with Alexa and Google Home
– Easy to follow instructions
– Pass-through cables so you can still power on your system normally
Cons:
– Button on the side is hard to press
