Amazon Smart Plug, for home automation, Works with Alexa - A Certified for Humans Device

I have bigger exercise equipment (treadmill, stepper ...) I put on these so that my great nieces and nephews cannot turn them on (get power to them) without asking my echo or alexa devices. Safety first! I also use them for lights.

works great with Alexa, no problem joining in my home network

I was able to get this with an Amazon code for a very reasonable price and bought it just to try it out. It was easy to install and worked perfectly. It wound up being great. I have a TV that will not come on if left plugged in overnight (an old Panasonic Plasma, a known problem as they age). I was unplugging the TV every night and plugging it in the next day. I plugged the TV into the smart plug and now I just tell Alexa to turn it on or off. I rated it four stars because the price is so high. If the plugs were in the $10 range I would probably have them all over the house.

Simple to pair, works great!

Title says it all. Didnt even have to run any setup, it literally autoconnected to alexa as soon as I opened the app. Easiest smart device Ive ever set up and pretty much my whole home is a smart home. It works perfectly. Look no further for your smart plug.

Installation and setup with Alexa app was not exactly as instructed but once we got the device connected, weve had zero issues. Its easy to see on app or in person if the plug is active. Love the ability to program when it turns on/off or to do on command. Since this purchase weve bought more to use for devices to be plugged in at hard to reach outlets (extension cords would be too much cable and hassle) Sad observations: we have a few extension cords these dont work with based on orientation of plug connection. We have a few devices (fan, other) with larger, box-ish plugs that wont fit into outlet next to the smart plug (like a few millimeters needed). Not a critical issue us but something to be aware of.

Easy to use with Alexa, and even easier to set up!

I received this smart plug in on a promotional period so I thought “what the heck, I’ll give it a whirl”. I love this thing! My basement only has light switches on one end so I have to walk all the way back over in the dark if I turn the lights off to leave. Now…I have a lamp attached to the smart outlet and Alexa turns the lights on and off for me so I don’t fall in the dark!! I definitely need a few more of these!!

So I’m kind of new to the amazon device family. We just got our echo a few months ago. I’ve been a prime member for over 10 years so I’m familiar with how amazon has changed life as we knew it (for me anyway). I saw the amazon smart plug when I was searching for any brand smart plug that had Alexa control with it. It’s been in my cart saved for later for at least a month! I finally decided to just pre order it so that I could review it and hopefully help other people that are like me and have fallen way behind in the tech field. For reference I’m an almost 34 year old mom of 2. This means that my 8 year old stole my iPad, iMac, and I haven’t had a computer of my own in about 4 years! So I do everything from my iPhone. I’ve had some weird issues with our echo and my Alexa app that it will just randomly pause a song so I’m not sure what that is about. ANYWAY! I received my new amazon smart plug the day it was released (so glad it’s not like a new iPhone or PlayStation where people camp out ahead of time or do people still do this??). It was easier than I expected but harder than was described in the listing because my Alexa didn’t just recognize it. Setup: Since my Alexa didn’t recognize it on its own, I had to unplug the smart plug and quickly scan the code on the back of the plug, then plug it back in fast so that when it scanned for it it would see it plugged in. After that it was very simple. I was able to plug in my baby monitor and then tell Alexa to “turn off plug one” and it turned off! It is so cool! Future: I think homes will end up being built with these right into the electrical system. Maybe they already are. Comparing: With so many different brands offering smart plugs with Alexa integration I can’t see myself buying any more than 1 for $25. Too many are 2 for $20. While it’s nice to have the amazon support backing this up, I just can’t afford to fill my home with them at such a high cost comparative to other brands that do the same exact thing. Overall: If you can afford to fill your plugs with these then do! This smart plug is easy and awesome! But if you’re on a tight budget like I am, I would try a different brand first and see if those will work just as well. Every time I purchase something online, I always check the reviews. I count on others to help me choose the best option. My reviews are always my honest opinion and I try to include photos if possible.
