Ci Sockets
the world’s safest and smartest sockets
These are no ordinary sockets. This is a revolution in electrical fire safety that could save countless lives and prevent billions in property damage worldwide.
Built around our groundbreaking ThermalVision™ technology, Ci Global’s sockets proactively protect people and property by detecting electrical hazards long before they become a fire risk.
Ci One
How does it protect against electrical fires?
Ci ThermalVision™ technology embedded within the socket detects overheating, current overloads, arcing and loose connections within the ring main.
It continuously monitors electrical behaviour and cuts power instantly if it senses a potential hazard – stopping ignition before heat, smoke or damage can develop.
Ci One sockets feature
ThermalVision™ heat detection
Arcing and ring main fault detection
Overcurrent / overload protection
Integrated alarm sounder
Secure & Reliable Connectivity
Our sockets harness the power of Matter to create a robust, automated solution that allows internet-connected devices from different manufacturers to communicate simply and securely.
This gives the homeowner the opportunity to connect Ci One to any devices such as air-conditioning units, washing machines and automated curtain devices, which are compatible with Google Home, Samsung SmartThings and Apple Homekit.
Compatible with:
Ci Max
Ci Max goes even further, protecting residential, commercial and industrial environments from a wider range of risks.

Pay-as-you-go Power
with NFC
Ci Sockets prevent electrical fires while generating income.
Cafés, airports, and other public spaces can offer pay-as-you-go electricity and Wi-Fi – creating a recurring revenue stream and giving owners secure, on-demand control over who can access power and when.
Tap and Go
Customers pick their minutes, tap their smartphone on the Ci Socket’s built-in NFC chip readable by Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Pay only for what you use
Charges are based on consumption, with rates set by the facility owner – the more power, Wi-Fi, or devices, the higher the cost.
Seamless app integration
An open API allows the Ci app to be embedded into third-party customer apps for smooth, branded experiences.
Consumer pre-paid token cards
These can be issued as an alternative to smartphone payment and loaded on-line to allow access without using an app.
Business token cards
Issue staff such as cleaners and maintenance teams with token cards that grant access to Ci Sockets – track appliances and monitor usage.
Free quick charge to pay
If a phone battery is flat, the Ci Socket gives just enough power to switch it back on so the customer can complete payment and continue charging.
