A smart plug will give your non-smart electronic devices internet-connected features, allowing them to join your smart home setup. It’s highly recommended that you use as many of them as possible in your home to maximize the benefits that you can get from them. While they’re not overly expensive devices, their costs will add up if you’re planning to buy several of them, which is why you wouldn’t want to miss the discounts of Prime Day smart plug deals.

How to choose a smart plug on Prime Day

If you search for smart plugs on your favorite retailer’s website, dozens — perhaps even hundreds — of choices will appear, with some of them made by unknown brands. For help in narrowing down your choices, you should take a look at our roundup of the best smart plugs. There’s something here for everyone such as fans of Amazon’s Alexa, and for various purposes such as energy monitoring. Additionally, the brands we’ve featured, including Amazon, TP-Link, Kasa, and Emporia, are the ones that you should be targeting to buy from Prime Day smart plug deals instead of lesser known manufacturers. We’re dealing with electricity here, so you shouldn’t sacrifice safety for savings of only a few dollars.

There are several features that you can enjoy with a smart plug, so you should choose one that comes with the benefits that you would be able to use often. When an electronic device is connected to a smart plug, you’ll be able to turn them on and off remotely using the smart plug’s companion app, and you can even create schedules so that this happens automatically. Some smart plugs will even let you monitor energy usage so that you can check which appliances are consuming too much electricity, while some are designed to withstand the elements so that they can be used with devices that are located outdoors.

Buying just one smart plug won’t set you back by a lot, but it’s highly recommended that you purchase multiples so that you can use them with all the non-smart electronic devices at home. How many smart plugs and the brand that you will buy will depend on the budget that you set aside for Prime Day smart plug deals, though with the lowered prices, you’ll be able to purchase more of them than you previously can afford.

That’s why we took a look at the prices of these smart plugs not just on Amazon, but also on other retailers that have jumped onto the Prime Day bandwagon, so that we can confidently say that our list above contains the cheapest prices.
