Smart plugs are awesome because they add “smart” features to all of your “dumb” old devices. Things like fans, coffee makers, and even space heaters can be plugging into them and then turned on and off with a smartphone app or even your voice. Smart plugs typically cost between $20 and $30 for a device with a single outlet though, and there’s a much better option that will cost you the same or even less. Check out the Conico 1SK33W Wi-Fi Smart Power Strip, which packs four three-prong power ports that can each be individually controlled with an app or with Alexa. It retails for $50 and it’s down to $27.99 on Amazon, but if you clip the special $7 coupon on the Amazon page you’ll get it for just $20.99.
