Buying Guide For Smart Plugs

• Voice Command : When buying a smart plug, it's good to ensure it works on voice command and is compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant.
• Plug in Limitations : When buying a smart plug make sure your plug can handle high wattage and power. A few hundred watts means you can plug in small devices whereas higher wattage would mean larger appliances can be connected, as well.
• Number of Devices : Some smart plugs come with a limitation of how many devices you can connect with them; keeping this in mind is also important.
• Dimming Feature : Some smart plugs also allow control over dimming, so if you hook up a lamp then you can easily control its light as well.
• Energy Monitoring Feature : Advanced and much cooler smart plugs come with an energy monitoring feature that can tell you what is the wattage of power consumption. So, your smart plug can tell you how much power your connected device is consuming.
