CANNY Smart Plug

The Canny smart plug lets you control electronic appliances in the comfort of your bed or sofa. It connects with your smartphone, smartwatch, PC, any wearable device, and even your TV remote to turn your home into a smart space.

This plug uses built-in sensors and user-friendly programming to automate home appliances. You can configure timers and sensors according to your desired plug function. You can set up an alarm or schedule when you want your lights to turn on and off or when to turn the heater on when the temperature drops.

You don’t have to worry about turning off the TV before you sleep. The sensors in your smartwatch distinguish when you have fallen asleep and CANNY automatically turns off the television for you. Want a cup of steaming coffee ready when you wake up? The sensors in your watch detect when you’ve awakened and the plug turns on the coffee maker for you.

The CANNY is capable of performing multiple functions in conjunction with your smartphone or smartwatch. You can define how you want the plug’s sensors to work for each home appliance through its companion app. You just need to pair it with your smart wearable or your phone first and connect to the same home Wi-Fi so you can start setting up conditions or rules in the app.

You can even assign a function to the unused button in your TV remote. The possibilities are endless with the CANNY smart plug.

Amazon Smart Plug

Now you don’t have to lift a finger when you want to turn on the lights, the coffee maker, and more. All you need is your voice with the Amazon Smart Plug which is compatible with Alexa.

The outlet lets you schedule lights, turn electric appliances on and off, and control devices remotely when you are not at home through Alexa-enabled devices like Echo, Fire TV, or Sonos One. You can also use the Alexa app which is compatible with Android, iOS, and Fire OS devices.

If you have multiple plugs then the better. This means you can control multiple outlets. You can even set up tasks that would make your day easier, like creating a breakfast routine that would turn off your bedside lamp and turn on your coffee maker in a single request. The possibilities are endless.

The good thing with the Amazon Smart Plug is its hassle-free installation. It doesn’t need any smart home hub and set up takes seconds. Simply turn on the power button found on the plug, connect it to an electrical socket, then connect to your home Wi-Fi and just ask Alexa for “smart home control.” If your Alexa-enabled device detects a new plug, then skip the second step and go to third right away.

The Amazon Smart Plug comes with a one-year store warranty. Unfortunately, though, it is for indoor use only.
