"There's one plugged into a pedestal fan in the bedroom, since I'm one of those stubborn folks who can't sleep without a fan. I set up routines on the Alexa app so that it automatically switches on the lamp's smart plug each day at dusk and then switches it off, turning on the fan when I say, "Alexa, good night."\"
"Also: My 8 favorite smart home devices of the year (and which ones are on sale for Black Friday) I've used Amazon Smart Plugs to control grow lights for my houseplants, so I never have to worry about turning them on in the morning or forgetting to switch them off at night. Additionally, I've used them to connect my trusty Christmas lights, allowing my tree to switch on automatically at sunset."
Amazon Smart Plug two-pack costs $12 each during the Black Friday sale, offering a 52% discount; the single unit is $13. The plug enables voice control via Alexa and app control from a phone. Routines on the Alexa app can schedule automatic on/off actions at dusk or specific times, and voice commands like “Alexa, good night” can trigger multiple plugs. Smart plugs convert non-smart devices—lamps, fans, coffee makers, grow lights, holiday lights—into controllable smart devices, allowing remote activation, scheduled automation, and hands-free convenience. Use cases include automating bedroom lamps, fans, grow lights, and Christmas tree lighting.
