Amazon’s Smart Plug is currently on sale for just \$13 as part of the latest Prime Day event. That’s a 48% discount from its usual price of $25, making it the lowest it’s ever been. If you’ve been thinking about trying smart home gadgets, this is a simple and affordable place to start, or a great time to grab a few extras if you’re already using them.
This plug is super easy to use. You just plug it into any regular wall outlet and connect it to the Alexa app. From there, you can control things like lamps, fans, or coffee makers with your voice or your phone. No additional equipment is required, and it works especially well for those who already use Alexa at home.
One of the best features is the ability to create routines. For example, you can say “Alexa, goodnight,” and it’ll turn off all your connected devices at once. It also automatically reconnects if the power or Wi-Fi goes out, and its small size means it won’t block the second outlet on a standard wall fixture.
The only downside is that the Alexa app doesn’t allow multiple users to control routines or settings. So while others in your home can still turn devices on or off with voice commands, they won’t be able to customise anything unless they’re using the same app account.
Even though it’s not always the cheapest smart plug on the market, this sale makes it an excellent value. It’s a great way to make your home a little smarter with almost no effort, and at a price that’s hard to beat.
