Kasa’s Matter-compatible smart plugs are on sale for $11

If you’re looking for an easy and affordable way to add smart elements to your home, buy two Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug Slim Smart plugs are on sale for $21.99 ($8 off) at Amazon and B&H Photos. This is the best package price in months and a good opportunity to upgrade things you already own instead of replacing them with expensive smart devices.

Plugs allow you to add smart controls to appliances such as lights, fans, chargers, coffee makers, and heaters. All you need to do is plug one of the devices into an outlet and connect it to your Wi-Fi network, and you can automate everything connected using the Kasa app on your phone. You can also control things with your voice thanks to Matter support, which lets the plugs work with major smart home platforms like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. This means you can turn the lights on or off when you’re out of town, or, for example, schedule the fan to turn on a few minutes before you get home.

Another advantage is that the plug also includes energy monitoring, which tracks how much electricity your devices are using. This is useful information that can help you better understand your energy consumption, and potentially save you money on your electricity bills. The slim design is useful, too: Unlike larger smart plugs that can block nearby outlets, it’s small enough that you can plug two into a single wall outlet.
