Maybe you like the idea of a smarter home but you’re intimidated by the potential costs. I get it. Not everyone has the budget to replace all their appliances or buy a million smart bulbs.
But you can get started for cheap right now with these super-discounted Amazon Smart Plugs that let you control your outlets with your phone. Available for $13 each in this Prime deal—down from their normal $25 price tag—now’s the perfect time to grab a few Amazon smart plugs.
What can you do with a smart plug? Turn off your lamp. Turn on a fan. Schedule holiday lights. Cut off power to non-essential appliances. Disable an entire power strip if you want.
All without getting from your couch or bed! Just tap on your phone. That’s the beauty of a smart plug—and with the Amazon Smart Plug, you can even control each outlet using Alexa.
Setting it up is a breeze: simply plug it into any outlet, open the Alexa app, and you’re ready to go in just minutes.
One of my favorite things is the ability to create Routines, which are basically bundled Alexa instructions that happen in response to a trigger. Triggers can be when you leave or arrive home, when it’s a certain time of day, when you say a phrase, when motion is detected, etc.
So, you could have Alexa kickstart your night routine by saying “It’s bedtime,” at which point Alexa could turn off your lamps, cut power to your TVs, and start playing rain sounds on your Echo device. Or, when you’re on vacation, you can schedule Alexa to turn your home lights on at night so it looks like somebody’s home.
Unlike many smart home gadgets, you don’t need a central hub device for Amazon Smart Plugs. You just manage them through the Alexa app.
So, if you’ve been curious about smart home tech and want to level up your home life, snag these Amazon Smart Plugs while you can. At just $13 each, you won’t regret it.
Note that you’ll need Amazon Prime because this is a Prime deal. Start a free 30-day trial of Prime and you can benefit from this deal, along with the numerous other deals coming up for Prime Day.
