Amazon Basics Smart Plug Power Strip, Surge Protector with 3 Individually Controlled Outlets and 2 USB Ports, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, Works with Alexa

I haven’t had a chance to use this but I am turning my home into a smart energy home

I may have selected that the device was integrated to my account at purchase, I can’t remember. But it connected to my acct right away when I plugged it in & I was able to access it on my Alexa app on my phone. Easy to use by just turning the plugs on/off in the mobile app. I haven’t figured out to connect it by verbal commands, I hope that’s possible because that was my initial plan.

I have a number of Amazon smart plugs and they all work really well with Alexa. I wanted to put smart plugs on two lamps and a dehumidifier. I wanted to be able, in particular, to control the dehumidifier when away from home. I did not have enough outlets in that location. So this worked great - each plug functions independently of the others, but as they are in the power strip I did not have to struggle with not enough outlets.

While I couldn’t get the QR code on the user’s guide for this Amazon Basics Power Strip to work, this still took only a couple of minutes to set up. The QR code on the power strip did work, which made setting this up from within the Alexa app very easy. This is really handy for a room that I have with minimal outlets. I can now run extra lights and actually see what I’m doing in there. Even nicer, I can turn them on and off with a simple spoken command. Very pleased with the design, function, and flexibility of this Amazon Basics power strip. As the parent of kiddos with autism, there are causes near and dear to my heart.

I like this power strip because each plug is addressable from Alexa. The USB ports are _not_ addressable however. Also there really aren’t enough outlets. It would be better to have 5 or 6 outlets than 3. This works like the Amazon Plug and it’s easy to setup. If I need another solution like this I’ll buy again for sure.

The product works well once you get it setup. Instructions could be more detailed however eventually linked with Alexa and has been very helpful for seniors in the home.

Purchased this to replace a traditional timer plugged into an outlet that was being used for our lizard cage. Someone, or a pet, would inevitably press the timer settings and cause the lights not to go on when needed (or the device would just fail on its own). This was the first smart strip I purchased. Super happy with it. The Alexa integration to setup the routines was super easy to configure. This has worked perfectly to turn on and off the outlets (lights) exactly when needed. Highly recommend for similar applications.

I love this smart surge protector. Very easy to set up

I couldnt write this review fast enough!! This power strip ended all my frustrations and woes of buying smart plugs (of the same brand) that sometimes will and other times wont, connect to my wifi! This device was immediately recognized by Alexa the minute I plugged it in. Set up is quick and easy. The power cord is very thick and sturdy and a good length as well. Each plug (3 total) operates individually so you can assign different names to each one, inside the app, to correlate with whatever device you plug in. Im using it for my Christmas lights. So, I assigned the 3 plugs to a group, set a routine, and all lights turn on and off at the times I set. Definitely worth buying for the quality, functionality, and price!!

Unlike my old Kasa power strip, which this has replaced, it works seamlessly with Alexa.
