Amazon Basics Smart Plug Power Strip, Surge Protector with 3 Individually Controlled Outlets and 2 USB Ports, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, Works with Alexa

The product works well once you get it setup. Instructions could be more detailed however eventually linked with Alexa and has been very helpful for seniors in the home.

We have tried other smart plugs and were completely frustrated with the connection to our Echo Show. But this one finally worked perfectly! I don’t normally write reviews but this was such a breath of fresh air! Thank you for such a wonderful product that actually did exactly what is what it is supposed to do! I highly recommend it! I’m actually returning a different brand and buying another one of these power strips again! Thank you!!!

I haven’t had a chance to use this but I am turning my home into a smart energy home

I purchased this unshare of how a large plug would work with Alexa. To my surprise it is perfect. Each plug works with Alexa so I can easily plug in more than one thing and it works. I use my app to adjust times. Its perfect and Id recommend buying if you need a lot of plugs in one place.

I’ve only had it a few weeks but it was really easy to set up with Alexa. Each plug can be controlled independently. The 2USB ports are a bonus.

The set up was so easy, it paired itself. We have multiple echo devices in the house on 2 different accounts. I wanted this smart strip to pair with the specific account in one of the rooms that is also near echo device on another account. I plugged this unit near the desired echo device and while I was opening the included instruction page, the Alexa that I wanted to pair with started saying something about setting up the smart device. I didn’t exactly hear what she said but when I opened my Alexa app, the power strip was already set up. It had three individual sections labeled “First plug,” “Second plug” and “Third plug.” From the app I was able to rename each plug and set up a schedule. Easy! When I say “Alexa, turn on the lamp” she says “OK” and does what she is told. I really like this unit. I can also use the physical round on/off buttons next to each plug to turn each plug if needed, but where is the fun in that… “Space saving angle plug” is a welcome feature, it fits well with my other not so space saving plug (see attached picture). I highly recommend this unit.

Sturdy

My wife loves it! We have three table lamps in our living room separated by 8-foot distances. It was a pain to turn on or off all three because the switches were on the cord. Now all she has to do is say Alexa, turn on(off) Living Room. It also helps to be able to selectively control each lamp by its separate name. Lastly, its easy to set up, except for the separate names; the menu option is not immediately obvious.

This feels well built. The Alexa integration needs work however. Despite having no trouble at all with other amazonBasics smart switches and outlets, the outlets on this power strip repeatedly get forgotten by Alexa. Even worse, when I assign an outlet to a room, the outlet seems to flip flop between two different rooms. Sometimes its in my office, sometimes its in my workshop, even though I told it its in my workshop. I havent seen this issue with any other devices in the Alexa app.

Was so nice to just plug this in and have it detected! Works great with my echo.
