Smart plugs can enhance your existing lamps and gadgets, being compatible with major smart home systems. Currently, you can purchase two Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug Slim plugs for $21.99, reduced by $8, from Amazon and B&H Photo. These plugs offer a cost-effective method to modernize your home appliances without opting for more expensive smart devices.
Installing them is easy: insert the smart plug into an outlet, connect it to your Wi-Fi, and manage your devices through the Kasa app on your smartphone. With Matter support, they also integrate with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, enabling voice control. This setup allows for remote operation, like turning lights on or off when you’re away, or setting a fan to start before you return home.
Moreover, these plugs come with energy monitoring features, providing insights into your devices’ power usage and helping to potentially lower your electricity costs. Their compact design prevents blocking adjacent outlets, allowing two to fit into one standard wall outlet.
