Using a smart plug is the cheapest, easiest way to smarten up any electrical device. Just plug one into any standard electrical outlet, and add a lamp, fan, or other on/off device. Then set it up with an app, and—boom—you’re making magic. Smart plugs can make your life a bit easier, not to mention more fun. They can also be a crucial aid for those who have difficulty reaching light switches or turning inline rotary light switches. We recommend the TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug Mini (EP10) for inside the home and the TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Outdoor Plug (EP40) for outdoor use, since they both work really well on their own, as well as when paired with other devices through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. And even though they’re both inexpensive, neither one sacrifices any features. Whether you’re home or away, you can turn outlets on and off, have them trigger at set or random times, or have plugs turn other smart devices on and off (or vice versa). We also recommend the Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip (HS300), if space isn’t an issue and you want to be able to plug in and independently control and automate multiple devices.
