In the world of home automation there are two essential products: light bulbs and plugs. The first may not finish convincing you, but the plugs are basically the first stone that a user must establish in her smart home. So if you still don’t have one, now is the chance to get one (or two).
Amazon’s smart plug
Considering that Amazon’s Echo speakers with Alexa have become the control centers of many homes, if you have one at home, getting a smart plug from Amazon is a great option due to its perfect compatibility. These models are very easy to set up and just plug them in and find them in the Alexa app to get going.
What is a smart plug for?
With these plugs you will be able to remotely control the ignition of devices and household appliances that were originally not intelligent, although you will simply be able to turn them on and off, since what you will do is turn off the electrical current from the plug when you order it.
You can, for example, control a lamp with your voice (always leaving the power button active), or control the usage times of an electric heater, for example. Another fun feature is to control the Christmas tree lights to turn on and off when you say. The devices you connect must have the possibility of placing the power switch in the permanent ON position, since otherwise they will not turn on when the smart plug offers electrical current.
The lowest price
With this Prime Day discount, the Amazon Smart Plug equals its best historical offer, placing itself at a more than interesting 13.99 euros, an amount with which you may possibly consider the possibility of buying two units, since the possibilities that you are going to have in your hand today are going to multiply.
Is the best?
The functions of a smart plug do not give many comparisons. They are quite simple products, so most models on the market are practically the same. The Amazon model is quite large in size, and there are models on the market that have a much more compact size.
In any case, the Amazon Smart Plug dissipates the heat generated very well, and its perfect compatibility with Alexa make it the most suitable model for those who do not want too many problems with home automation.
