Add The New York Post on Google Whether or not you own a smart device, a smart plug can help turn your mundane everyday gadgets into something that can be voice-controlled and operated without ever leaving the comfort of your couch or bed.
Imagine telling your Keurig to start brewing your French Roast before even opening your eyes. Or, imagine turning on your lights without flipping a switch.
The Amazon Smart Plug can do just that, and now it’s on sale for 48% off, for a limited time only.
The Amazon Smart Plug is compatible with coffee machines, lights and basically anything with an on/off switch.
The best part is that you don’t require a smart hub to use this device — just the Alexa app on your phone. The brand says you can get it set up within minutes, too, making it very user-friendly.
From there, you can automate schedules, use your voice to start and stop devices and even set up daily routines.
The plug itself has a small form factor and will blend easily into your home without sticking out. Plus, over 500,000 Amazon shoppers have rated it on Amazon, with many loving the ease of setup.
“The Amazon Smart Plug is one of those rare tech purchases that actually delivers on the promise of being simple. No headaches, no complicated setup — just plug it in and you’re basically halfway done,” says one shopper.
If you want to automate more devices in your home without having to blow your budget on new smart appliances, the Amazon Smart Plug is a simple solution, and it’s on sale for Prime Big Deal Days.
If you need a lengthy extension cord for your home office, this pick is it.
