Amazon Smart Plug drops to $13 for Black Friday — record low
Amazon’s Smart Plug is on sale for just $13 as part of a Black Friday promotion — a $12 discount and a record‑low price. If you’ve been meaning to expand your Alexa‑based smart home or want inexpensive automation for lamps, coffee makers or holiday lights, now’s an easy time to stock up.
The plug is designed for Alexa households: setup is virtually plug‑and‑play through the Alexa app (no manual Wi‑Fi password entry required). Once connected you can control devices with voice, create routines, and group plugs together (for example, “Alexa, turn all lights off”).
Key details
- Sale price: $13 (Black Friday record low).
- Compatibility: Works only with Alexa — no Google Assistant or HomeKit support.
- Use cases: Lamps, holiday lights, coffee makers, small appliances with physical on/off switches.
- Setup: Simple setup via the Alexa app; designed to be user‑friendly for Alexa users.
Why it’s a good pick
The Amazon Smart Plug is inexpensive, reliable and tightly integrated with Alexa. For anyone already using Echo devices, it’s often the simplest way to add voice control to legacy appliances without rewiring or buying smart bulbs. At $13, the plug becomes a low‑risk add‑on for experimenting with home automation.
Limitations & tips
- If you use Google Assistant or Apple HomeKit, this is not the right plug — look for cross‑platform plugs or models with Matter support.
- Group plugs in the Alexa app to control multiple lights together and build routines (scheduling, away modes, bedtime scenes).
- Check outlet spacing: the Amazon Smart Plug occupies a single outlet but may block adjacent sockets on some power strips.
- Confirm current price on Amazon before purchasing — Black Friday inventory and pricing can change quickly.
