Amazon’s virtual personal assistant Alexa is pretty awesome on its own, capable of answering all of your questions, calling you an Uber, managing your schedule and even ordering you stuff from Amazon. But when you add some compatible smart home accessories into the mix, the world is your oyster. Check out this TP-Link HS100 Smart Plug 2-Pack, which gives you two Wi-Fi connected wall outlets that can be controlled using any iPhone or Android device, or with your voice using Alexa on any compatible speaker like the new second-generation Echo Dot.

A few key details:

  • Works with Amazon Alexa for voice control (Alexa device sold separately)
  • 2x HS100 Smart Plug
  • Remote access – control devices connected to the smart plug wherever you have internet using the free kasa app on your smartphone
  • Away mode – turns your devices on and off at different times to give the appearance that someone is home
  • Compatible with Android 4.1 or higher / iOS8 or higher. 120~240 Volt Compatible
