have the same general capabilities. They&#8217;re able to open or block the flow of electricity to turn appliances on and off. However, this only works if an appliance has a power switch that can be &#8220;On.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":1,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":1,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":1,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":471} --><\/p>\n<p> In other words, if your appliance can turn on after plugging it into an outlet, it&#8217;ll work with smart plugs. If you need to press a button after plugging in an appliance to turn it on, it won&#8217;t work with a smart plug. Keep this in mind before shopping for any plug. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":1,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":1,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":1,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":746} --><\/p>\n<p> Smart plugs can connect to various smart assistants such as Google Assistant, Alexa, Siri, HomeKit, and IFTTT. This allows you to control them with the respective voice assistant, usually through the app and by voice. <\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":1,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":1,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":1,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":965} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":2,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":2,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":1,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":0} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":0,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":null,\"countRemainingForInjection\":null,\"nextBlockCount\":null,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":null} --><\/p>\n<p> So, if you have an Echo smart speaker and want to make the most of your smart plug, look for one that supports Alexa. The same goes for other voice assistants. Smart plugs usually can work with all ecosystems, but there are exceptions! <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":2,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":2,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":2,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":237} --><\/p>\n<p> The size of smart plugs is another important factor to consider. Some are incredibly bulky and can take up multiple AC power sockets that are next to each other. Remember that just because a smart plug is bigger doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;ll provide additional features or perform better. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":2,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":2,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":2,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":524} --><\/p>\n<p> The last thing to note is that smart plugs are essentially the same thing as smart outlets. The main difference is that smart outlets are bigger, which usually provides more sockets for you to plug in numerous appliances. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":2,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":2,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":2,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":747} --><\/p>\n<p> Let&#8217;s take a closer look at some of the best smart plugs on the market. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":2,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":2,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":2,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":824} --><\/p>\n<section class=\"emaki-custom-block emaki-custom-note\">\n<div class=\"emaki-custom note\" id=\"custom_block_10\">\n<div class=\"custom_block-content note\">\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" align=\"\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:bottom\">\n<p>\n<strong>How Did We Research<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:bottom\">\n<p> Models Evaluated <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:bottom\">\n<p> Hours Researched <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:bottom\">\n<p> Reviews Analyzed <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:bottom\">\n<p> 18 <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:bottom\">\n<p> 8 <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:bottom\">\n<p> 35 <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"custom_block-content note\">\n<p> How-To Geek&#8217;s product recommendations come from the same team of experts that have helped people fix their gadgets over one billion times.
