Smart plugs provide a connection between non-smart devices and modern smart system apps, such as Amazon Alexa, HomeKit and more.
The plug features a wireless connection you can use to sync up to your smart device, whether it be a tablet or your smartphone. Some smart plugs will feature increased connectivity options, and will be able to work with almost all smart systems and voice assistants. There are a select few, however, that are designed to be used with specific smart systems such as the Hive Active smart plug.
