In order for our smart plug to be voice activated it will need to be setup with Alexa or Google Home. After setting up the smart plug you will be able to use voice commands.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The smart plug should turn on the radio with a single voice command. Once set up and labeled as "radio," you can say "turn on the radio" and it will power on the radio. It will not change stations though, so you'll have to set the station yourself once it's on. It should work with other appliances, too. But I've had some problems getting it to work with my rotating fan. The plug turns on, but the fan still sits there. After turning off and on the fan, then it works. So I'm hoping that the fan is just cheap.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The device itself doesn't need to be linked to anything like Alexa or Google, but I don't believe it would respond to any voice commands unless it was linked to one of those. It has it's own app and can do it within that by clicking in it, or set up automations so it can do it automatically without any commands,
