Turn any non-smart appliance into a smart device: schedule lamps, fans, coffee makers, holiday lights, and more via app or voice. Smart plugs with energy monitoring track electricity usage. Most work with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit — letting you say 'Alexa, turn off the fan' or create automations like 'turn on the porch light at sunset.'
No — all Wi-Fi smart plugs (Kasa, Amazon Basics) connect directly to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi router. No hub required. Zigbee plugs are cheaper per unit and use less power but require a Zigbee hub (like the Echo Show 8 or Philips Hue Bridge). For most people, Wi-Fi plugs are the easier choice.

HomeKit is Apple's smart home platform. If you have iPhones and want to use the iOS Home app and Siri for control, get HomeKit-compatible plugs (Kasa EP25). If you're Alexa/Google-only, standard Wi-Fi plugs like the Kasa EP10 cost less and do everything you need. Our Value Score accounts for the protocol tier in the ranking.
