No. The plug only changes the on/off state. The options to dim the lamps would be 1) if the lamps themselves already have a dimmable switch and a dimmable bulb you could dim manually using the lamp switch - or 2) install a dimmable smart bulb that works with Alexa. TPlink makes some pretty good smart bulbs that will work with Alexa via the Kasa skill. As an additional bonus, TPlink also makes dimmable color changing smart bulbs that can be controlled by Alexa, allowing you to choose both brightness and color.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, these plugs do not have a dimmer function. They are only on/off.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I’m pretty sure you can’t. Dimming requires the device be able to regulate power and these devices only allow power to flow or not flow...on or off....no in between.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This simply controls power like any switch would. It can not control dimming. Your best bet for that would be to buy a Smart Light Bulb that has dimming and maybe even color changing capabilities and pair that bulb with your Alexa app
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.no, you will need a dimmer switch and use a dim-able bulb
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. You would need a light hub like Phillips Hue in order to dim the lights. You also would need smart bulbs.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can if you are using Alexa with you smart plug. For lights I use an Alexa Dot. Just tell Alexa to dim or raise the light levels.
I would recommend:
