Great smart plug to go with echo!
So I’m kind of new to the amazon device family. We just got our echo a few months ago. I’ve been a prime member for over 10 years so I’m familiar with how amazon has changed life as we knew it (for me anyway). I saw the amazon smart plug when I was searching for any brand smart plug that had Alexa control with it. It’s been in my cart saved for later for at least a month! I finally decided to just pre order it so that I could review it and hopefully help other people that are like me and have fallen way behind in the tech field. For reference I’m an almost 34 year old mom of 2. This means that my 8 year old stole my iPad, iMac, and I haven’t had a computer of my own in about 4 years! So I do everything from my iPhone. I’ve had some weird issues with our echo and my Alexa app that it will just randomly pause a song so I’m not sure what that is about.ANYWAY! I received my new amazon smart plug the day it was released (so glad it’s not like a new iPhone or PlayStation where people camp out ahead of time or do people still do this??). It was easier than I expected but harder than was described in the listing because my Alexa didn’t just recognize it.Setup:Since my Alexa didn’t recognize it on its own, I had to unplug the smart plug and quickly scan the code on the back of the plug, then plug it back in fast so that when it scanned for it it would see it plugged in. After that it was very simple. I was able to plug in my baby monitor and then tell Alexa to “turn off plug one” and it turned off! It is so cool!Future:I think homes will end up being built with these right into the electrical system. Maybe they already are.Comparing:With so many different brands offering smart plugs with Alexa integration I can’t see myself buying any more than 1 for $25. Too many are 2 for $20. While it’s nice to have the amazon support backing this up, I just can’t afford to fill my home with them at such a high cost comparative to other brands that do the same exact thing.Overall:If you can afford to fill your plugs with these then do! This smart plug is easy and awesome! But if you’re on a tight budget like I am, I would try a different brand first and see if those will work just as well.Every time I purchase something online, I always check the reviews. I count on others to help me choose the best option. My reviews are always my honest opinion and I try to include photos if possible.If my review has helped you in any way, please click the “helpful” button below so that I know!

Straightforward Easy To Setup
Bought these Amazon Smart Plugs to be able to use voice command to turn on my lights. They came in a packet of two plugs. So easy to set up. I already had the Alexa App on my phone. Plugged it in my outlet. Little blue light started blinking. Opened my Alexa App and went to my Devises and it was already recognized. So, so easy. It gives you the option to rename it. Making it simple to turn on each plug individually. I was pleasantly surprised that I could set a schedule for my lights to turn on and off right in the App. So happy with these great additions to my Echo and Dot. I originally just got them for the voice command, but the ability to turn them on and off remotely totally escalates them to security level for me.

Best Way I have Found to Implement My Needs
In the past I have used a variety to products. Some of which required a hub and most of which required using their own app.As time passed some of the companies have discontinued the products I used and others found their software was not highly secured.I then decided to try the Alexa solution and found it to be easy to set up using the Alexa Smart Plug. These plugs are fairly expensive so I thought I would try another brand that was less expensive, but advertised to work with Alexa.It did not take me long to find that you had to use their app along with Alexa. With internet security continuing to be an issue I returned to the Alexa solution which I trust, and continue to find that it satisfies my needs with minimum effort.

Wonderfully convenient!
I am so happy with these. I only bought 1, just in case they didn’t work properly. After using this, I have bought 2 more. I received an email suggesting I set up my device before I receive it. I went through the instructions in that email. When the plug arrived, all I had to do was plug the lamp into it. The device already had a name & Alexa understood what to do with it. Now the hard part is going to be remembering I have that plug & actually talking to turn on the lights. =)

Broke after a week
This was easy to install and it worked well, for about a week. Alexa could no longer find it and I did the 12 second factory reset (press the button on the side) but that would not fix it. I only used it to turn on a bedroom lamp. I requested a replacement and hope that one works better.

Lights, toaster, action
Love this product. I’m not gonna rant and rave all of the things it can do because that it is in the advertisements. But this thing came in very handy to turn small kitchen appliances off automatically. Lamps, alarm clocks. It’s really nifty. I also got it on sale for $4 which is super affordable. I’ve tried other brands and none of them are as seamless and easy to use as the amazon one is. I’ll tell you a secret I like telling my Alexa to turn on and off my lights for fun.

Love it
Works great. I just wish it had two plugs now. I do like that it doesn’t take up too much room. I have mine plugged under my plug in. If they could add another plug and maybe a phone charging port, it would be genius. I love that I can turn the light off from my bedroom using the app, and that the light turns on automatically from my location when I pull into my garage.

Very Useful
I plugged this into an outlet and opened the Alexa app on my phone and it connected in seconds (I have a couple of other smart plugs, maybe that facilitated the connection of this one). The only things I had to do was to rename it (for my benefit) and to set it as a “light” (as opposed to a plug), that way Alexa applies the same routine to it that I have set up for my other smart plugs that control lights.
