TP-Link’s Smart Plug lets you turn appliances on/off from your smartphone

Turn electronics on or off from anywhere with your tablet or smartphone using TP-Link’s Smart Plug.

Like the idea of a Belkin WeMo Switch, but not willing to spend $40-$50 to try one out. This TP-Link alternative has a nearly identical feature set for half the price.

Just like a WeMo switch, TP-Link’s Smart Plug will let you turn appliances on and off from your smartphone, and set schedules to toggle them automatically. The only major feature it’s lacking is IFTTT support, but it will integrate with an Amazon Echo for voice control.

Here’s a list of some the features TP-Link’s Smart Plug has to offer: 

• Turn electronics on or off from anywhere with your tablet or smartphone using the free Kasa app (iOS, Android)
• Use Away-Mode to turn devices on and off at different times to give the appearance that someone is home while you are away
• Check on devices remotely, create schedules, and set timers
• Conserve Energy and save money on your next bill
• Works with Alexa for voice control of electronics & appliances (no hub required)
• Easy to use and install. Just plug a device into the Smart Plug and connect to your Wi-Fi network

If you don’t care about smartphone control, this three-pack of outlet switches will perform the same function with an included remote; you’ll just have to be nearby for it to work.
