Amazon Basics Smart Plug, Matter Compatible, Compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, Matter Hub Required, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only, White, X-Pack

Amazon smart plug in
I bought the basic Amazon Smart Plug to automate a few lamps around my house, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to set up and use. From the moment I plugged it in, the Alexa app detected it instantly and walked me through a quick setup that took less than a minute.The plug responds immediately to voice commands, routines, and schedules. I love being able to say, “Alexa, turn on the lamp,” especially when my hands are full or I’m walking into a dark room. It also works great for automating holiday lights and my coffee maker in the mornings.The design is compact enough that it doesn’t crowd the second outlet, and it’s been totally reliable—no random disconnects or glitches. If you already have Alexa devices, this plug integrates seamlessly.Overall, this is a simple but incredibly useful smart home upgrade. Highly recommended for anyone looking to dip their toes into smart home devices without spending a lot or dealing with complicated setups.

It CAN BE CONNECTED with Alexa! If yours failed, read this
I have two Amazon smart plugs, an old one that was released a few years ago ( in 2019?), and a new one (this one, Matter compatible). Setting up the old one was very easy, but this one is super tricky. It seems that Amazon does not make the old smart plugs any more, but only Matter compatible ones now. Actually I ordered one at the beginning but cannot get it connected with Alexa app after I tried many times, I thought it was defective, so I returned it and requested a replacement. After I got the replacement, the setup still failed again and again even though I really followed the instructions (both coming with the item or Amazon’s online instructions). Then this made me realize that there must be something more than what it says in the stupid official instructions! AI does not help too! So I did a quick research and did find out the issue. Matter is an open-source protocol for IoT and smart home devices, it has been supported by Android and iOS. Alexa app can absolutely discover the Matter smart plug, but you MUST use your smartphone’s setting->matter devices or matter accessories (regardless iOS or Android devices) to connect the MATTER smart plug FIRST, then it can be added by Alexa app. After your smartphone get connected with the plug, it will prompt you need a matter hub, for which you can choose Alexa app/Google Home, then follow the instruction and easily add the plug into your Alexa/GoogleHome device list. Good luck!

Perfect solution
This is a fantastic product. We use HomeKit as our main smart home platform and setting these up was a breeze. Just scan the code, plug them in and follow the instructions – you’re done in under a minute. These were our first choice because the four-pack is surprisingly affordable and works brilliantly. We’ve also tried using them with other platforms and they work perfectly with Google Home and the Matter-compatible IKEA Smart Hub.

Helps to automate uses of product in your home, I love it
Absolutely an awesome product especially if you are a Prime Alexa user. It super easy to use and very intuitive. It is compatible with the Alexa app controls or by voice to your Alexa commands. Within your app, you can add timers which is convenient and can be used whether you are home or away. I already have one and when I saw the good price for the value of this product to get 2, I jumped at the opportunity. I attached it to other lights in my home. For me it was as easy as plugging in the plug and naming it (for user commands and identifying which item you are using).For me the convenience of this product is very useful, hands free, and hassle-free in and around my home to use various things with ease. The smart plugs are sturdy and durable.I highly recommend this product and would definitely purchase again, to use for other home automation items in my home.

Works great. Easy to set up with Alexa!
