For a quick update to your smart home setup that doesn't cost a ton, add a few smart sockets to your living space. All you need is a free outlet and application to gain control - whether you're at home or not - from lighting fixtures, coffee makers, to larger appliances such as air conditioners and microwave ovens. But not all smart outlets are similar, and it's important to make sure the one you're buying is compatible with your ecosystem and has the features you need to get the job done.
First, take stock of everything you want to connect in the house to determine how many amps each one uses, because each smart plug has a limit. For smaller gadgets and appliances, you'll probably be fine with a plug that stops at 10 or 12 amps. For large devices, it is best to buy a smart plug with 15 amps or more. The following is compatibility with your smart home setup, as not all outlets work with Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit. It is imperative that the application of smart plugs is intuitive and easy to configure and have features that meet your needs. Also, check the dimensions to make sure that the smart plug will fit into the socket or space provided.
Along with combating countless user reviews for smart plugs that scored four stars or more, we searched our own smart home test results and consulted other sources of expert publications such as Tom's guide and Wire pliers. Our selection includes the best quality smart plugs in all price points, with a range of essential and pleasant features to have. We also took into account the compatibility of the platform, the ease of configuration, the user experience of the application and the overall design.
