AMAZON SMART PLUG

Amazon has pioneered a Smart Plug that enables users to turn on or off connected appliances through their voice.

The Smart Plug is easy to set up where users just have to plug it into an electrical socket and set it up using the Alexa app. The Smart Plug also works well when Alexa-compatible devices, and once connected, customers can ask Alexa on any Echo, Fire TV or other Alexa-support devices to control the Smart Plug. With a 3-pin socket design and a 6A power rating, the Smart Plug also has a built-in state retention feature that ensures the appliances go back to their last state in case of a power outage and resumption. Through the Alexa app, users can also create customised routines like scheduling the device to turn on or off at a particular time of the day. Additionally, users can control their devices while they are away too. It should be noted that the Smart Plug does not support heavy appliances such as AC, geysers, water pumps, or heaters.

T3 SAYS: Smart Plugs are a nifty way to make conventional home appliances smart.
