Amazon Smart Plug

Thinking of purchasing this Amazon Smart Plug? It’s a terrific idea. Just take note of a few prerequisites to ensure optimum performance. The first condition is that it’s designed to work only with Alexa-enabled devices or the Alexa app. But not just any version, you’ll need to download the latest upgrade.

For maximum functionality, the unit must be connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. And also note that the device is strictly designed for indoor use only.

Moving on to the actual performance, the plug allows you to control your electronic units via voice commands—from anywhere. These units can be anything; from your lights, coffee machine to fans.  By purchasing multiple plugs, you can control many sockets for added convenience.

This smart plug can also serve as a useful assistant for your daily routine. By using the Alexa app, you can create set schedules such as a morning routine where you programme the unit to switch on your lights.

You’ll be happy to know that setting up this plug is very easy and using it is even simpler. Our only major concern with this plug is that a few users have reported that it tripped their electrical system. We suggest you just make sure your infrastructure is up to standard before plugging in your first smart plug.
