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

So I’m kind of new to the amazon device family. We just got our echo a few months ago. I’ve been a prime member for over 10 years so I’m familiar with how amazon has changed life as we knew it (for me anyway). I saw the amazon smart plug when I was searching for any brand smart plug that had Alexa control with it. It’s been in my cart saved for later for at least a month! I finally decided to just pre order it so that I could review it and hopefully help other people that are like me and have fallen way behind in the tech field. For reference I’m an almost 34 year old mom of 2. This means that my 8 year old stole my iPad, iMac, and I haven’t had a computer of my own in about 4 years! So I do everything from my iPhone. I’ve had some weird issues with our echo and my Alexa app that it will just randomly pause a song so I’m not sure what that is about. ANYWAY! I received my new amazon smart plug the day it was released (so glad it’s not like a new iPhone or PlayStation where people camp out ahead of time or do people still do this??). It was easier than I expected but harder than was described in the listing because my Alexa didn’t just recognize it. Setup: Since my Alexa didn’t recognize it on its own, I had to unplug the smart plug and quickly scan the code on the back of the plug, then plug it back in fast so that when it scanned for it it would see it plugged in. After that it was very simple. I was able to plug in my baby monitor and then tell Alexa to “turn off plug one” and it turned off! It is so cool! Future: I think homes will end up being built with these right into the electrical system. Maybe they already are. Comparing: With so many different brands offering smart plugs with Alexa integration I can’t see myself buying any more than 1 for $25. Too many are 2 for $20. While it’s nice to have the amazon support backing this up, I just can’t afford to fill my home with them at such a high cost comparative to other brands that do the same exact thing. Overall: If you can afford to fill your plugs with these then do! This smart plug is easy and awesome! But if you’re on a tight budget like I am, I would try a different brand first and see if those will work just as well. Every time I purchase something online, I always check the reviews. I count on others to help me choose the best option. My reviews are always my honest opinion and I try to include photos if possible.

Got this on some Amazon deal when I bought my very first product on here. It was $1 more for it so I said what the heck and did it. Works like you’d expect it to.

goodd product

This is a great product, I just didn’t work with one of those lamps that you have to turn on every time you disconnect it, but I don’t complain, I just plugged my LED lights in it and it works perfectly! If I could give it more than 5 starts I would! Lol

Efficient and effective!

I have no complaints. Its reliable and works well.

I recently purchased the Amazon Smart Plug to automate my older, non-IoT coffee maker, and it has made my mornings so much more enjoyable. As a Certified for Humans Device, the smart plug is remarkably user-friendly, offering seamless integration with Alexa. Setting up the smart plug was a breeze using the intuitive Amazon Alexa app. I easily created a schedule, and now, like clockwork, the plug turns on my coffee maker every morning. By the time I get out of bed at 6 am, Im greeted with freshly brewed, piping hot coffee, eliminating any waiting time. The compact design of the Amazon Smart Plug ensures it doesnt obstruct adjacent outlets, making it a practical choice for any home. Its sturdy construction also instills confidence in its durability, even with daily use. In conclusion, the Amazon Smart Plug has transformed my morning routine, providing a hassle-free, automated coffee-making experience. If youre seeking a simple yet effective solution for home automation, I highly recommend the Amazon Smart Plug.
