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

This was so easy to install and it only took a couple of minutes to set up the routine so I only have to say Alexa lights on or Alexa lights off to turn the lamps on and off. I can also use the Alexa app on my phone and turn the lights on before I go in the house. I feel much safer this way. I love it!

I love my smart-plugs. It was easy to set-up and super convenient. All it takes is a verbal command to Alexa to turn on and off my lights in the morning and at bedtime. I can also use my mobile Alexa app on my cellphone to turn on or off from anywhere.

I have 4 of these plugs and so far they have worked extremely well. Biggest problem is coordinating the connection to Alexa but it is a learning process I have with electronics.

Love it! Dont have to through when I forget to turn light off. Also get up to turn it on. It is very convenient!

As someone who is always looking to improve and simplify my home automation, I was excited to try out the Amazon Smart Plug. I can confidently say that this device has exceeded my expectations and made my life much easier. The Amazon Smart Plug is incredibly easy to set up. It connects effortlessly to my existing Amazon Echo devices, and the integration with Alexa is seamless. The Amazon Alexa app guides you through the process, which only takes a few minutes. Once connected, controlling my lights, fans, and other appliances has become a breeze. The Certified for Humans label is well-deserved, as this smart plug is truly user-friendly. The compact design ensures it doesnt obstruct adjacent outlets, and the build quality feels solid and durable. The ability to schedule on and off times for my devices has been a game-changer, allowing me to conserve energy and automate my daily routines. One minor downside Ive encountered is that the plug can sometimes lose connection to my Wi-Fi network. However, this issue is easily resolved by power cycling the smart plug or resetting the Wi-Fi router. Overall, the Amazon Smart Plug has greatly simplified my home automation experience. The ease of setup, seamless Alexa integration, and scheduling capabilities make it an excellent investment for those looking to enhance their smart home ecosystem. I highly recommend the Amazon Smart Plug to anyone interested in home automation or seeking a convenient way to control their devices.

This is great to be able to turn a light on after dark.

I had a few WeMo smart plugs before ordering these. First of all, I HATED the app because adding a plug was so cumbersome. Plus, one of the plugs never did show up on the app so I couldnt really control it. It was in a room upstairs and I thought it must have been out of range of my WiFi router. I do not have a WiFi extender and almost bought one due to this issue. Had to send those plugs back. I was excited to see Amazon was coming out with their own smart plugs and pre-ordered them right away. Controlling everything through one app is way preferable. As a huge bonus, my upstairs plug that I previously could not control with the WeMo plug and app now works flawlessly with the Amazon plug and Alexa app. I guess it wasnt out of range after all. Pros: 1. if youre already tied into the Amazon Alexa ecosystem this just makes sense, and you keep things under control with a single app. And easily controlled with your Echo device if you wish. 2. Really easy to add a plug via the Alexa app. Alexa will recognize it right away and you just scan the back of the plug to add it. 3. Shorter and less bulky than the WeMo plug. 4. Smart plugs that may have been non-responsive on my network before are working flawlessly now with the Amazon plug in use instead. Cons: 1. A bit pricey. I wish they offered multi-packs for a lower price per unit. This will probably happen later. 2. Adding a plug to operate on an on/off schedule was NOT as easy as with WeMo. It took too many steps, was not straightforward, and should be more streamlined. Basically, youre creating what they call a routine. You have to add a start time. Then go back and do it all over again to add an end time. So I had to create two routines to get my coffee maker to start on weekdays at 6:45am and turn off on weekdays at 7:45am. That was silly. I did eventually figure it out, but they should really work on making it involve less steps and be more intuitive. I will buy more but will wait until the price comes down or theyre on sale.

This purchase was an impulse buy, actually. It was on sale, and I thought - why not? I have several uplights that are under and behind furniture and its a literal pain to hand plug-in and un-plug several times a day. Im really tired of crawling around trying to reach the plugs, and wow - with a simple command I can light up my living room, or with a tap on my Alexa app I can turn on or off specific lights depending on the time of day. I had no idea how much of a difference it would make not having to deal with all the plugging/unplugging. I cant believe I never thought to buy these before. Im getting older and its just not that easy (or fun) to climb on or under the furniture anymore. :-D Setup was very simple and I control mine via Alexa through my Bose 700 soundbar. I plan on purchasing a few more for the upstairs so I can turn on the lights on and off when i get up to go to work at 5:30 in the morning - no more tripping over stuff in the dark. Never had an issue and my only regret was not buying them sooner - could have saved a few scraped hands and bumped heads for sure! Very happy with this very simple purchase.

Can control from away when on vacation love it

Plan to order more of these. I checked off the box when ordering that our other devices were connected to Wi-Fi. The plug recognized the Wi-Fi right after plugging it in and it was ready to use! Very easy to use just the Alexa app and not have to use another app for other brands of plugs. Highly recommended!
