We like smart plugs because you can use them to add instant power control to any outlet, letting you turn the outlet on and off at your command from anywhere in your home—or even if you aren't there. We recommend the discounted Meross Wi-Fi Smart Plug Mini for $34 ($18 off), because it's designed with Apple HomeKit in mind. Plus, it's also compatible with Google and Alexa, ensuring that no matter what smart-home system you have, your plugs will comply.
