Remotely control your outlets with Kasa Smart Plugs, now 2 for 13

PCWorld

Ever wish you could turn a particular outlet on and off without using a physical light switch? Maybe for an outlet that isn't even hooked up to a light switch? And right now, you can grab a two-pack of Kasa Smart Plugs for just 13 on Amazon, which is 35 percent off its normal 20 price. If you don't want two, you can get the one-pack for just 8. Imagine it's time to sleep, so you leave the living room and lay down in your bed, get comfy, and you're ready to drift off -- when you suddenly remember that you didn't turn off the lamp. The Kasa Smart Plugs also support voice commands, allowing you to exercise hands-free control over your home devices via Alexa or Google Home Assistant.


Did Anyone Ever Really Need a Smart Display?

WIRED

When modern smart displays first arrived in 2017 in the form of the first-generation Echo Show, we called them creepy with big potential. Over the past six years, smart displays still feel like a lumbering category with untapped potential--Amazon, Google, and even Meta haven't been able to crack the code to turn a smart display into a must-have home device. It feels like these screens, which let you control smart home devices, make video calls, and ask voice assistants anything, should have had their Big Moment during the era of lockdowns and Zoom-only hangouts. But as Apple demoed during WWDC and Google unveiled at Google I/O, the best smart displays are already in our hands and homes. Both companies have announced software and hardware that take devices you're already familiar with--smartphones and tablets--and turn them into smart displays when you aren't using them.


The best smart plugs in 2023

Engadget

Smart plugs are among the simpler smart home devices, giving you voice and app control over appliances like lamps, fans, humidifiers and basic coffee makers. You can create schedules and routines, too, either through a plug's proprietary app or through your preferred smart home platform. But much like other IoT devices, which system plays nice with which plug depends on compatibility, and each brand's app offers different features. We tested out ten popular options to see which are worth buying. Before you buy one, it helps to know what a smart plug can and can't do. They work best with things that have an on/off switch, making them great for lamps and other lights.
