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

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.

Didnt have a use for this when I bought it, it came for free with the Echo Dot. I ended up using it for the Christmas tree, and it was so nice being able to turn it off and on with my voice, given that the power chord was in the corner behind the tree.

I have only had a few occurrences of this not responding as expected. It has worked fine 95% of the time.

Just finished a complete master bathroom rebuild and added my fun little lamp, Fergie to it. I wake up in the middle of the night and say Alexa Fergie On and I have complete light to the bathroom. Back to bed and say Alexa Fergie Off and its back to sleep for me! This smart plug synced automatically with my Echo Dot as soon as I plugged it in. So easy! Location is several walls away from my router and I have had no trouble with it staying connected to my Wifi. I am totally sold on the Amazon Smart Plug!

Initial installation was easy. Paired with Alexa quickly and was easy to turn on and off a light using Alexa voice commands or Alexa phone app. Adding a routine to turn on and off a light at a preset time was much more difficult. Plug came with no instructions. You must access online instruction on Amazons website. They were incomplete and confusing. I finally found a You Tube site that was step by illustrated step that helped me get the routine up and running. It now works perfectly but it was a long road.

This works great, with this I can use my echo dot to turn my lamp on and off, no need for any smart lightbulbs

No problem setting it up

This is super handy especially when you think you might’ve left your hair iron on. You can always connect to Alexa and have her turn off the switch.

I use this to turn on and off the daylight lamp on my daughters snake tank. I had it linked to my Amazon account and Alexa when I added it to my cart and purchased it. When I plugged it in, my Echo Show 5 immediately recognized it and added it. It also automatically showed up in the Alexa app on my iphone 13. I literally had no setup steps to perform except renaming it to Snake Light. I can control it from the app, Echo Show and the firestick remote. I simply have to say Alexa turn on the Snake Light :)

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!!
