Amazon is now making it easier to control things like your lights, coffee maker, fan, and more with the Smart Plug. This Wi-Fi smart plug uses a simple Wi-Fi setup to connect your devices. You just need an Alexa-enabled device, whether that be an Echo speaker, a Sonos One, or even just the Alexa app on your phone, to setup routines for your gadgets.
