Amazon Smart Plug, works with Alexa

Be careful because these things are addictive. I started with one and now have 4 plus I’ve started my daughter and parents in on them. When I come into a dark house now, I can just tell Alexa to turn on a specific light or I can say “wax on” which is my wax burner. I even had one attached to my Christmas tree so I didn’t have to make sure I could reach the switch. I absolutely recommend these Smart Plugs but I would caution that you make sure it’s an Amazon Smart Plug so you have no issues connecting to Alexa. You won’t be sorry.

This is the completely upgraded version of “The Clapper” for old folks. If your elderly family members do not have these, they along with a Echo device would make a great gift for them. I can turn on a light from a completely different location in the house so I do not have to walk into a dark room. I can also go into bedroom and turn off the lights in a different area of the house. Makes it much safer and easier.

I have two Amazon smart plugs. They are great. I use one on my coffee maker, lie in bed and just say, “Alexa, turn on the coffee maker.” One on my bedroom light, so at night when I am going to bed I can turn the other lights in the house off and not stumble my way to a dark bedroom.

This product is awesome and SO easy to set up if you have an Amazon Echo. I’m not saying other brands are not good and I have 2 myself but I just gave up on plug-in’s that weren’t Amazon since I have an Echo. With other brands, it gets into the weeds trying to find out how to link the plug with the Amazon Echo. You have to start new web apps on most and then linking the website to the Alexa App is difficult and it all gets crazy so even though there are cheaper plug-ins out there for Echo, I will gladly pay a few dollars more for an Amazon Plug than another brand because of the ease of operation both in locating the plug on the Alexa App and the simplicity of having to use just one app (Alexa) to control my Echo devices. Now, some of you out there may just think I’m stupid because I have trouble with other brands, but I don’t care. The Alexa plug is best for the Echo and Alexa app.

Acceptable but not as good as many other sockets. It does work and does all of the things listed BUT in order to get it to work with Amazon Alexa you must download and install two (2) different apps and interface them to get this device to work with Alexa and any Amazon devices. This increased the installation time and procedures to very long and time-consuming length. (loss of one star) The width of the unit makes it unusable with a double ganged plug if you need to use the plug next to it. It actually overlaps the next plug. (loss of one star). The blue led is always on. A minor power drain.
