The plug connects automatically to your 2.4GHz WiFi network. You then name the device based on what you're controlling, such as "bedroom lamp" or "coffee maker." It takes less than five minutes from box to working smart device."

It directly connects your Smart Plug to your WiFi and communicates with Alexa over the cloud. You avoid buying expensive hubs like SmartThings or dedicated Zigbee coordinators.
