Amazon Smart Plug Now $12.99, Down From $24.99

The Amazon Smart Plug is available for $12.99, down from its usual $24.99 — a $12 discount and 48% off.

It turns any outlet into one you can control with Alexa: plug the Smart Plug into an outlet, plug your device into it, then control by voice, set schedules, or use the phone app when you’re away. Getting it running takes a few minutes — plug it in, open the Alexa app, and it just pops up. There’s no second app to mess with and no hub to buy.

The plug works with an Echo, a Fire TV, a Fire tablet, or the Alexa app on your phone. It’s small and won’t hog the adjacent outlet, so you can double them up if you want. You’ll need Alexa to set it up and it won’t play nice with Google Home or Apple devices.

At $12.99 this is a low-cost way to add voice control, remote access, and scheduling. If you’re new to smart home gear, it’s a good place to start; if you already use Alexa, it’s an easy add for another room.
