Suppose the socket you’d like to make smarter needs to be outside, for garden lights, a sprinkler or seasonal decorations, for instance? Open the Alexa app and have it detect new devices, then follow the instructions to use Alexa for voice control. Each smart plug is rated for a limited amount of power, usually stated in either amps or watts, which also limits the kinds of devices you can plug into it. A. Smart plugs can work for almost any electrical device as long as they have the right power capacity. Sensors in the casing detect temperature and humidity and allow you to set a schedule based on those readings.

Plug it into a smart plug with a scheduling feature, set the cooker’s temperature controls, and set the plug’s start time or activate it remotely. Instead, compatible devices work together as a mesh network (the more Thread devices, the stronger the network). However, if you want the ultimate in hands-free control of your Christmas lights, there are smart plugs made for use outdoors.Some even include a way to calculate a cost analysis to get an idea of how your power usage affects your electricity bill. And if you love the ease of voice control that comes with Alexa, you’re in luck because there are some excellent compatible plugs available.

And some smart plugs have two or three outlets, allowing you to control several devices at once from the same smart plug. Some have a horizontal design that extends beyond the electrical outlet while others aren’t much bigger than a regular plug. Multi-outlet smart plugs come in vertical and horizontal designs and give you more options for controlling your lights or other devices. In general, the more compact the shape, the better the access you’ll have to the rest of the outlet. Note that a smart plug is adding an extra layer over the regular socket, and the bulk of some means they overlap two sockets on a multi-gang socket, for instance, or may not be suitable where space is cramped.

Inexpensive models tend to come with inexpensive apps, which aren’t always the easiest or most efficient to set up or use. If you own other Philips Hue devices, you’ll likely have the Hue Bridge – that is, the hub that’s needed to control the bulbs in most circumstances. If you want maximum access, look for compact or horizontal smart plugs that take up as little space as possible. Some kettles still need you to press a button before they start working – so getting your morning brew going from the comfort of your bed may not apply.
