Why you should buy the Amazon Smart Plug this Black Friday

The Amazon Smart Plug works with Alexa to let you add voice controls to pretty much any device with an analog on-off switch, from lamps and fans to major appliances. This way, you don’t need to buy expensive smart devices: the $15 smart plug can add voice controls (through an Echo speaker or the Alexa app) and automation options to hardware you already have.

The Alexa integration lets you set up routines to automatically turn the appliances on and off based on specific times or motion sensors. For example, you can set it up to turn on a lamp near your front door when your Ring camera detects you entering the house.

The best part? You don’t have to fuddle around with complex installation. Just plug it in, and in a few taps on your phone, it’s ready for use. It takes mere minutes and anyone can do it. Also note the Amazon Smart Plug’s compact size, which means the smart plug doesn’t hog too much space and leaves neighboring outlets available for simultaneous use. The plug doesn’t work with the Google Assistant or Apple HomeKit, of course, but if you’re already in the Amazon ecosystem, this $15 smart plug is a great investment that will yield convenient returns for years to come.
