Wemo

Meanwhile, the Wemo brand from Belkin has unveiled a new WiFi smart plug, with support for Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and HomeKit. Wemo says this is the "little smart plug" it offers, with a form factor that doesn't block other outlets.

The Wemo WiFi smart plug offers wireless control through the Wemo app for connected devices (lamps, heaters, fans and more) without the required subscription or hub. Its new convenient and compact form factor allows you to stack additional Wemo smart jacks or connect another device to the same output, without obstruction.

The new Wemo WiFi smart plug will be available this spring for $ 24.99.

There is also a new Wemo stage, which allows users to quickly access scenes and presets. The scene can be programmed to activate up to 6 scenes and environments, with full support for the Home application. This means that you can assign the buttons on the Wemo Stage to certain HomeKit scenes.

Wemo Stage will be available this summer for $ 49.99.
