Holiday Deal: 4-Pack Of Alexa And Google Assistant Compatible Smart Plugs For Just $23 [Today Only]

As part of an ongoing promotion, a pack of four Aoycocr smart plugs with energy monitoring and voice assistant support can now be picked up via Amazon for just $23. The promotion means that each socket outlet will cost you just $5.75. An excellent deal by anyone’s standards.

More and more homeowners are starting to embrace the fact that you can use products like this to at least bring a small amount of intelligence to previously “dumb” appliances. By plugging something like a lamp or a DVD player into one of these outlets, you get the ability to control it remotely, either via the accompanying smartphone app or through voice control via one of the supported voice platforms.

Once activated, the outlets come with an energy monitoring capability. This means that you have the ability to track the real-time energy usage of each appliance that is in use. It also means that you can easily identify appliances that are consuming energy a lot more rapidly than you would hope. The space-saving compact design also means that you can get two of these plugs in one outlet on the wall. This is a definite advantage over some larger options on the market.

In addition to being able to control the appliances activated via the sockets via an app, it’s also possible to have control by voice through the Alexa and Google Assistant platforms. Once the Alexa Skill is activated, for example, you can choose to control those appliances with a simple command. There is no hub required or any additional hardware as these plugs work over a secure 2.4GHz wireless network in the property.

Are you a safety conscious individual? The sockets come with built-in safety mechanisms that are designed to protect your property when abnormal loads are detected. And if you decide to grow your home automation stack with hardware from the same manufacturer, then it all drops into the same app for absolute convenience. Pick these plugs up right now as a gift to yourself or a loved one during this festive period.
