Product Information

If you're far away from your Alexa devices, you can open the Alexa app and turn the smart plug on or off from there. Guided by experts, we spend hours looking into the factors that matter, to bring you these selections. The size of the smart plug depends on whether you want a full-size plug, which may cover the whole outlet, or a compact model that leaves the adjoining electrical outlet open for another device or second smart plug.

The smart plug mini lives up to its name and is noticeably smaller than most here, so you can be sure it’ll only take up one socket in a power strip, for instance. Some have a horizontal design that extends beyond the electrical outlet while others aren’t much bigger than a regular plug. Meross warns that it only works with devices running iOS 13 or later, and emphasises that it’s more seamless with iOS 14.It’s chunky and robust and while the design isn’t as attractive as some here, you’ll perhaps tuck it away out of sight. You can schedule the lights to turn off after you’ve left for work, for example, so you don’t waste energy if you forgot to shut them off before you left.
