Best overall: APC Smart Plug Surge Protector

The APC smart socket surge protector combines state-of-the-art electrical protection with the convenience of a smart output control. APC takes protection seriously and protects overvoltage protection with an equipment protection policy that will reimburse customers for any losses. It also offers a lifetime warranty.

While the APC Smart Plug Surge Protector is only compatible with Amazon Alexa for voice control, it can work with both iOS and Android via the APC Home App. This protector includes a number of six sockets, three of which are smart, and the status indicator LEDs provide additional peace of mind when it comes to protecting your devices.

To fix things, the APC Smart Plug Surge Protector includes four USB ports, which adds a little extra comfort. This helps reduce the number of bulky load blocks you can have, making it perfect under a desk or nightstand.

The Smart Power Strip from VOCOlinc is an excellent value for those looking for a power strip compatible with all major smart home platforms. In addition to three smart sockets, the VOCOLinc Smart Power Strip includes two USB ports to host devices such as your phone or tablet.

The power strip also provides power monitoring to help you reduce your electricity bill, and doesn't require a special hub to pair with your existing smart devices. The VOCOLinc offer also offers surge protection to protect your devices against any electrical problems that may occur.

Eve Energy Strip offers an elegant and modern take on the traditional electric band. A silver and black aluminum frame, with its three sockets, makes the energy band stand out from the competition and is something you may not want to hide under the desk. Each of the Eve Energy Strip stores works independently of each other through the iOS Home app, the Eve app for HomeKit, Siri and with the physical buttons of the device itself.

Thoughtful touches, such as generous 90-degree spaced outlets, worry about mounting bulky adapters in the past. Gentle LED lights will not illuminate your space at night, and a child lock prevents unwanted cases where a socket is accidentally closed. Eve Energy Strip can also be set to randomly turn on and off each outlet to simulate presence in the house, even while you are outside.

Trip-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip offers six smart plugs and three USB ports, allowing it to manage as many devices as you can throw away. Each socket can be controlled individually via Alexa or Google Assistant, via the TP-Link application, or even by pressing a conveniently located button.

Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip also includes power monitoring and scheduling options to help you reduce your costs. A flat socket at the end of the power strip allows perfect placement behind the furniture and follows a traditional power strip design making it engage in your space without screaming the smart device. Unfortunately, there are only small gaps between sockets, which could make it difficult to connect devices.

Linganzh's Smart Power Strip is an affordable option for those looking for just the basics of smart control. Even with lower costs, this tape offers four sockets that work independently, as well as basic overvoltage protection.

Wi-Fi connectivity allows you to set up the Linganzh Smart Power Strip in minutes without the need for a smart home hub. Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant are all supported by the electric device, which makes it a smart, future option. However, because you pay less, you will have to miss the USB ports.

The JACKYLED Smart Outdoor Outlet is the best choice to make your outdoor lights or decorations smart and safe. This power strip offers a total of three smart plugs and a power button on the device, allowing for optimal comfort for your outdoor equipment.

The best thing is ETL certified safety and has an IP55 rating when it comes to water and dust resistance, providing peace of mind for devices that are not always in sight.

Connect them

Smart power strips offer both comfort and functionality in a single, easy-to-use package. Added functionality, such as power monitoring, helps determine which devices lower your precious power and are managed remotely with a tap or voice. Surge protection is also included in most smart power strips, making them an essential item for those connecting an invaluable machine.

If you are in the market for an electrical strip that has a solid, durable design with smart capabilities and protection, we recommend the APC Smart Plug surge protector. This power strip includes the protection policy of the APC device and offers small things, such as handy USB ports, that make it stand out from the rest.
