The Amazon Smart Plug works exclusively with Alexa to add voice control to any electrical socket.

It means users can schedule and control appliances remotely when they’re away.

Alexa-owners can simply plug the device in, open the Alexa app and start with their commands.

It doesn’t require a traditional smart home hub.

“These days even a slight reduction in energy usage is good for the planet and the pocket.”
