If you’re not sure where to begin with turning your home into a smart home, you might want to consider this deal on the Amazon Smart Plug. Smart plugs are an excellent beginner smart home device. Because they really don’t take a whole lot of effort to set up and they have one main purpose – automated power cycling of devices that would otherwise have to be turned on manually all the time.
Normally the Amazon Smart Plug would cost you $25. However, right now Amazon has it on sale for just $13. This is a limited time deal which means it won’t stick around at this price for too long. So if you wanted to see what all the fuss was about, it’s a good idea to snap these up at the lower price while you can.
In terms of features, the Amazon Smart Plug is quite functional. It has Alexa built-in, so you can voice control whatever’s plugged into it if you want. This is super useful if you have lamps that aren’t using smart bulbs. Because you can just tell Alexa to turn the lights on or off. You can also set these things up on schedules if you want to be mostly hands-free. Of course, you can plug more than just lamps into these smart plugs.
For example, I’ve used some with my coffee machines before. And this is great if you like the coffee to start brewing at a certain time. Set the brewer to go off just as you’re getting up in the morning and the coffee will be ready by the time you’ve started your day. You can set up routines with the plug as well.
