As AI integrations at home improve, the prospect of adopting the smart home becomes more and more appealing. If you want to have more control of your home than ever before, Amazon's Smart Plug is a must-have pairing with the Alexa. This Prime Day, you can grab the Smart Plug for just $13. That's nearly 50% off the normal retail price. Now is the time to nab this peripheral for your smart home -- or to lock in an easy gift for a friend who has a smart home before the holiday season.
The Amazon Smart Plug is simple to set up: As long as you have a Wi-Fi connection, you can have it slotted into an outlet and set up on your Alexa app within minutes. The compact design means you can keep the other outlet open for a different device, charger or another Smart Plug. By adding these Smart Plugs to your home, Alexa will be able to perform tasks like turning on your fans and lamps or brewing your morning coffee.
You can automate these tasks by setting routines in-app, which can be useful for turning the lights on and off while you're on vacation or having your brew ready before you even get out of bed. If your Smart Plug gets disconnected, it'll also reliably reconnect to the Wi-Fi network and readopt the routines you have set as soon as possible.
