The Amazon Basics Smart Plug is simple, reliable, and easy to use. Setup through the Alexa app takes just a couple of minutes, and it connects seamlessly to control lights, fans, or other small devices with voice commands or schedules. The compact design doesn't block nearby outlets, and it responds quickly when turning devices on or off. For a budget-friendly option, it delivers excellent performance and convenience. I love it so much I bought 4 of them Read more
Love these smart plugs. I’m using them for my Christmas lights. They set up quickly and once you set up a routine in the Alexa app you don’t have to do anything else. I have my lights set to turn on/off at a certain time every day. The plug is small but works perfectly for my needs. They’re compatible with Alexa app or speakers. Set a routine or a timer and that’s all there is to it. Read more
I bought the basic Amazon Smart Plug to automate a few lamps around my house, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to set up and use. From the moment I plugged it in, the Alexa app detected it instantly and walked me through a quick setup that took less than a minute. The plug responds immediately to voice commands, routines, and schedules. I love being able to say, “Alexa, turn on the lamp,” especially when my hands are full or I’m walking into a dark room. It also works great for automating holiday lights and my coffee maker in the mornings. The design is compact enough that it doesn’t crowd the second outlet, and it’s been totally reliable—no random disconnects or glitches. If you already have Alexa devices, this plug integrates seamlessly. Overall, this is a simple but incredibly useful smart home upgrade. Highly recommended for anyone looking to dip their toes into smart home devices without spending a lot or dealing with complicated setups. Read more
Needed a smart plug to connect to Alexa. I personally feel the regular Amazon smart plug is over priced when selling at the $25 normal price so opted for this Amazon Basics as a first time buyer. Well the first one I received was totally dead. No lights on at all when plugged in and could not even get the manual switch on the side to work. Completed the return process and the second one arrived and connected very easily. It seems to be fully compatable with Alexa. It is working well so far and connected and has stayed connected for over a week. Added the plug to a routine and works just as well as the more expensive plug with one slight annoyance. You can see it across the room when that basics plug is active and on with a huge green LED lit up on the front of it. I prefer the less in your face small blue light of the standard Amazon plug. I guess if the outlet was out of site it wouldn't be an issue but it is in full view where I needed to plug it in. Read more
Wow. An affordable, quality smart plug that is HomeKit compatible! It was very easy to set up and works seamlessly with my HomeKit network Read more
This is a fantastic product. We use HomeKit as our main smart home platform and setting these up was a breeze. Just scan the code, plug them in and follow the instructions – you’re done in under a minute. These were our first choice because the four-pack is surprisingly affordable and works brilliantly. We’ve also tried using them with other platforms and they work perfectly with Google Home and the Matter-compatible IKEA Smart Hub. Read more
Great customer service !! First plug had issues so they replaced it very quickly . Thank you Read more
These are the best smart outlets. Installation is basically plug and play and no other app is required. As long as you've got the Alexa app it is easy peasy and you'll have your outlets controlling your device's power in a few minutes. I have a couple of these from when they first came out and they still work perfectly. Other brands have stopped working or their 3rd party app has been discontinued. I will only buy Amazon branded outlets from now on so I can be sure they won't become obsolete in 6 or 7 years. Read more
