Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1353
Hey, hey. Teri here. Hope you are doing well. Today I want to talk about the Amazon smart plug, which you can use, of course, with Alexa.
How many of you out there have the smart plug? Do you have one sitting in a box and you’re looking for something to do with it?
Because I admit, I’ve had one in the box for quite some time. So I started looking around to see what I could use it for.
And here’s just a couple of little tips and things that you might want to consider using a smart plug for because then, of course, you can use Alexa to control the device.
Probably the most obvious one is a lamp that is, you know, a desk lamp or that sort of thing that’s plugged into the wall.
If you want to make that, essentially a smart lamp, you just plug it into a smart plug and there you go.
You could also use it for a fan, a living room fan, for example.
You can use Alexa to control the device
Then you can use commands like, “Alexa, turn on the living room fan… turn off the living room fan”, etc.
You can use it for things like your kettle (Just make sure that there’s water in the kettle if you’re going to use that so that you do it in a safe way)
You can also use it for things like a fish feeder if you want to feed your fish. There are so many things that you can think of.
When you start looking around your home and look at the things that are essentially plugged into the wall. Then there you go.
You can smart enable just about everything in your home. So I hope that is helpful for you.
If you want to use my affiliate link, just go to VoiceinCanada.ca/Amazon.
That’ll take you directly to Amazon and you can search for your smart plugs right there. Alright. Have a great day. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.
