I was initially guilty of writing it off as an unnecessary modern convenience, where the easy act of flipping a switch was merely replaced by the even more effortless \u201cAlexa, turn on the outlet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, when I started to tinker with the Alexa app, I realized the potential of this relatively basic smart home concept.<\/p>\n<div class=\"review-card-body-inline fullwidth\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3>Here&#8217;s What We Like<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy to connect and setup<\/li>\n<li>Can be scheduled to follow your daily routine<\/li>\n<li>Compact and takes up only one outlet<\/li>\n<li>No separate smart hub required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3>And What We Don&#8217;t<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A two-outlet version would be nice<\/li>\n<li>Seems pricey for such a basic device<\/li>\n<li>Having to use Alexa can feel invasive<\/li>\n<li>No Bluetooth option<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"reviews-blurb\">\n<p>Review Geek&#8217;s expert reviewers go hands-on with each product we review.

It\u2019s all white, features a three-prong receptacle, sports a small LED indicator, and has a recessed button on one side. The magic of it is all on the inside, where a seemingly complex series of printed circuit boards (PCBs), capacitors, and other components work together to make this plug smart.<\/p>\n<p>When connected to an outlet, the Smart Plug will only power an object when requested. Unless you want to turn the plug on and off manually, you\u2019ll need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/729114\/how-to-connect-a-smart-plug-to-alexa\/\">connect it to an Amazon Alexa<\/a>-compatible device, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/All-New-release-Smart-speaker-Charcoal\/dp\/B09B8V1LZ3\/?tag=lsmedia-13467-20\">Echo Dot<\/a>, or the Amazon Alexa app (available for <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.amazon.dee.app&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US&amp;tag=lsmedia-13467-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Android<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/amazon-alexa\/id944011620?at=1010l392g&amp;ct=rg139605&amp;tag=lsmedia-13467-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iPhone<\/a>). Once connected, the plug only needs a voice command in range of an Alexa device to be activated.<\/p>\n<p>Therein lies the most complicated part of using the Smart Plug\u2014connecting it to a compatible device and learning how to use its features. The device uses a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection, and it\u2019s surprisingly easier to connect than other smart devices I\u2019ve used, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Sengled-Changing-Bluetooth-Multicolor-Brightness\/dp\/B08TG5X172\/?tag=lsmedia-13467-20\">Sengled\u2019s Bluetooth bulb<\/a>, which kept dropping my Wi-Fi signal.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"admonishment_note\"><p><strong>Note:<\/strong> The Amazon Smart Plug is not compatible with 5GHz Wi-Fi networks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the weeks I\u2019ve spent using the plug, it never once lost its connection, but getting it linked up to Alexa may prove difficult if you\u2019re new to smart home integration or aren\u2019t too savvy on modern tech.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><a name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\"\/>Control and Routines: A Simple Connection With a Big Impact<\/h2>\n<p>Having already connected several devices to my Alexa, I found setting up the Smart Plug a breeze. If it\u2019s your first time using Alexa, you may stumble a bit, but the directions are clear enough to keep you from veering too far off the path. Once the plug and Alexa are linked, you have a few options to tinker with. For instance, you can make it part of a Group of devices. If the plug is in your living room along with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/735213\/best-smart-light-bulbs\/#autotoc_anchor_6:~:text=%2429.99-,Best%20Smart%20Bulb%20For%20Amazon%20Alexa%3A%20Sengled%20Smart%20Bulb,-Sengled\">Alexa-compatible lightbulb<\/a>, you can group them together to control both simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>The Smart Plug works with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/408438\/improve-your-mornings-with-alexa-routines\/\">Alexa\u2019s Routines<\/a>, so if you want to say \u201cAlexa, good morning\u201d and have a plugged-in lamp turn on, you can. I currently have Christmas lights plugged in and the Smart Plug in a \u201cLiving Room\u201d Group with two third-party bulbs and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/137252\/govee-envisual-tv-backlight-t2-review\/\">Govee\u2019s TV light T2<\/a>. When I say, \u201cAlexa, turn the living room on,\u201d all devices light up. The plug can also be part of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/736637\/how-to-schedule-lights-with-amazon-alexa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scheduled Routine<\/a> (programmable in the Alexa app) to toggle at specific times throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve enjoyed the convenience, but I feel the most significant benefit of the Smart Plug is the sense of security it can provide. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/731793\/how-to-schedule-a-smart-plug-with-alexa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">plug can be scheduled<\/a> to maximize your comfort if you don\u2019t like leaving a light on all day just so the house doesn\u2019t look empty come dusk. Set a time for nightfall and the plug will automatically turn on any lights plugged into it.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><a name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\"\/>Limited Connectivity Options<\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-139611\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/12\/0d8c8b46.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Amazon Smart Plug with strand of Christmas lights plugged in\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" loading=\"lazy\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Mark LoProto \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As versatile as the Smart Plug may be when it comes to functions, it\u2019s a little limiting in who can use it. Unless you have an Alexa-powered device, the plug is relatively useless. Sure, you can manually toggle the switch via the small button, but that\u2019s not convenient and defeats the device\u2019s purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon\u2019s Smart Plug is not compatible with <a href=\"https:\/\/assistant.google.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Assist<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/home-app\/\">Apple HomeKit<\/a>. You also won\u2019t be able to use it with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notion.so\/integrations\/ifttt-0ae8761c-6138-4c49-976c-276623ffbf46?utm_source=adwords&amp;utm_campaign=13041862537&amp;utm_medium=144244568776&amp;utm_content=637037756860&amp;utm_term=&amp;targetid=dsa-1912536052931&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAqOucBhDrARIsAPCQL1YTXeRsqrMFLaNLiMAdb3L-St97p5Uo-aSBJuXA35XZlRpmDkqKV4saAshkEALw_wcB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IFTTT profile<\/a> to create custom scenes. Unfortunately, this can limit how connected your home is if you\u2019re using other smart devices that aren\u2019t supported by Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the plug also lacks support for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/748634\/what-is-bluetooth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bluetooth<\/a>. So, if you happen to have a Wi-Fi outage or your router stops working, you\u2019ll lose access to your Smart Plug. It\u2019s the biggest drawback of any smart device, and the Amazon Smart Plug doesn\u2019t step outside of the box to try to solve it.<\/p>\n<p>I do wish there was more than one port or that Amazon sold one device that serviced an entire outlet. Having to buy two at $24.99 each just to fill one wall outlet is a considerable hit to the wallet. And then each has to be paired as its own device, which isn\u2019t a huge deal, but an option with two plugs would have been nice to have for more complex lighting arrangements. On the other hand, the plug is compact enough that it does leave your second outlet free.<\/p>\n<div style=\"box-shadow: 0 0 4px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.2); padding: 1em; padding-bottom: 0; margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<h4 style=\"margin: 0;\"><a class=\"moka-black-link\" style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/739326\/best-smart-plugs\/\">The Best Smart Plugs of 2022 <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"16px\" height=\"16px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,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\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\"\/><\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"moka-buying-guides-product-wrap\">\n<div>\n<small style=\"color: #555;\"\/><br \/>\n<span style=\"display: block;

If you don\u2019t care to automate your lighting or any small appliance in your home, like a table lamp, then you won\u2019t find any use in the Smart Plug. If you are interested in home automation, then the plug is a great place to start, especially if you\u2019re just testing the waters.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re familiar with Alexa or any smart home devices, setup is very easy, and learning how to use it will come naturally. Device Groups are created with ease through the Alexa app and simplify automating entire rooms. The plug\u2019s compatibility with Alexa\u2019s Routines is the shining star for convenience. Whether it\u2019s setting a coffee machine to run each morning at 8:00 AM or turning lights on with a customized phrase, setting up a routine really maximizes the plug\u2019s convenience.<\/p>\n<p>Routines can get a little too invasive and highlight a primary issue with smart devices. You could set the plug to activate when your Echo device hears a baby crying, meaning the device will actively listen when it believes it hears a baby. Of course, this is entirely avoidable by simply not running such a Routine, but it\u2019s worth noting since the Amazon Smart Plug sinks you into the plights of smart home automation.<\/p>\n<p>I do feel the price is a little high for one outlet, but you don\u2019t need to buy a hub or anything else to make it work. It is as \u201cplug \u2018n play\u201d as smart home automation gets. It\u2019s also possible you may <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/424558\/will-a-smart-plug-pay-for-itself\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reduce the cost of your electric bill<\/a>, especially if you set a scheduled Routine.<\/p>\n<p>If you use Google Assistant rather than Alexa (or both), you may want to look into the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/120775\/shelly-plug-us-review\/\">Shelly Plug US<\/a> instead. It\u2019s a few dollars cheaper, offers support for both Google and Amazon smart assistants, and achieves many, if not all, of the same functionalities.<\/p>\n<p>You can also check out our picks for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/739326\/best-smart-plugs\/\">best smart plugs<\/a>, which offer suggestions like the under $12\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/BroadLink-Version-Required-Control-Anywhere\/dp\/B08732M6TG?tag=lsmedia-13467-20\">BroadLink Smart Plug<\/a> (perfect if you\u2019re shopping on a budget and want to make more than one appliance smart).<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-review-card border\">\n<div class=\"review-card-body\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3>Here\u2019s What We Like<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy to connect and setup<\/li>\n<li>Can be scheduled to follow your daily routine<\/li>\n<li>Compact and takes up only one outlet<\/li>\n<li>No separate smart hub required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3>And What We Don&#8217;t<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A two-outlet version would be nice<\/li>\n<li>Seems pricey for such a basic device<\/li>\n<li>Having to use Alexa can feel invasive<\/li>\n<li>No Bluetooth option<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<iframe data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fiverr.com\/gig_widgets?id=U2FsdGVkX18x7XQvttUTrv1oEqmGNGTgvvCUiUoJ\/AP4z\/UyMz8lXGOLpu15jIMxBbTR0gmD5uBoFvhC4KWeALQRp3h\/X\/AwcVD0K8Wj9H\/ZzYKzcCNHosB9oS4SCJJFWiN85P9ICAc4OgCoE\/wHKIY7CDkf2\/DQ1vqGvk4smVe5cRDEmrLPCWi4FC8p40VUhSmWQ5udCm0zoJtorgWv3vbDQw0kKYkwn39ozAnQXDe+YvWMxkLFWA+O3TFwkJvdkIK+\/AUSnRssPKt5WHY0FhNOxnSPcLslEL4G4\/RfP95ve99U+kRnDy3X+KtzdQLY+u935ghON\/o3UE4IMv9oN6JX9RnxzL\/LRcOgnHigxStSGPKsZYtnz8RWNVT\/rOLAibqiWJadC5MYHRbekF3eg6FOGrQGkXYbsn0+a5aovnlLCbLwIqY9fcS17UX8J235iQ6cdmHNbrPeS84CMm34RA==&affiliate_id=1052423&strip_google_tagmanager=true\" loading=\"lazy\" data-with-title=\"true\" class=\"fiverr_nga_frame\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"350\" width=\"100%\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-mode=\"random_gigs\" onload=\" var frame = this; var script = document.createElement('script'); script.addEventListener('load', function() { window.FW_SDK.register(frame); }); script.setAttribute('src', 'https:\/\/www.fiverr.com\/gig_widgets\/sdk'); document.body.appendChild(script); \" ><\/iframe>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/139605\/amazon-smart-plug-review\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rating: 8\/10 ? 1 &#8211; Absolute Hot Garbage 2 &#8211; Sorta Lukewarm Garbage 3 &#8211; Strongly Flawed Design 4 &#8211; Some Pros, Lots Of Cons&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26475,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26474","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-universe"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Brilliant, as Long as You Use Alexa \u2013 Review Geek - mailinvest.blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Technology is forever changing, and there are always new pieces of technology to replace obsolete ones.
