Amazon Smart Plug lets you voice control your lights, fans, coffee makers, and more. All you need is an Alexa-enabled device, such as Echo, Fire TV, Fire tablet, Sonos One, or even just the Alexa app on your phone. And with multiple Amazon Smart Plugs, you can control multiple outlets.
Q: Do I need special smart lightbulbs if I have this smart plug?
A: No you don't. That's why I went with the plug. Bulbs will burn out after all. Works just fine with our 4 lamps with regular bulbs, actually I use led bulbs, but it should work either way.
A: Yes, you can go into your Alexa app and create a group. In this example, we'll use 3 candles on 3 separate smart plugs. We'll name them Candle 1, Candle 2, and Candle 3, for simplicity. In your Alexa app, after you've discovered the devices and named them, you could create a group called "All the candles." Once you're done, you'll be able to tell Alexa to turn on individual candles by saying their name...or you can tell Alexa to "Turn on all the candles", if you want all of them on. I hope this helps.
A: I use The Alexa app. Create a group, like Living Room, and when editing the group add all devices you want to assign that group. You can then tell Alexa to turn on or off the Living Room and both plugs will be controlled. You can still call out for the individual plugs to be turned on or off. Also, you can create other groups with the same devices. In other words, a device can be added to more than one group. I have groups by room name, but also have some extra that are pieces of the room group and still more that span more than one room. Opportunity to be creative.
A: You can use the switch on the lamp. Just make sure you set the smart outlet to "ON" and you will be able to turn the lamp on/off manually.
