Gosund 15A Wi-Fi Smart Plug
If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to smarten up your everyday appliances, some good, reliable plugs is the place to start. Luckily, this four-pack of Gosund 15A Wi-Fi Smart Plugs are on sale for just $12 with promo code 69H9H98P.
Here’s how they work: Just plug them into a wall outlet and plug in the appliance you’d like to make smart like a lamp or TV. Sync the plug to your home’s Wi-Fi network and the Gosund app for Android or Apple iPhone, and that’s it! You can now use the app to control your appliance or even Alexa or Google Assistant.
"...Quality and reliability are top-notch. Installation is straightforward," wrote a satisfied Amazon shopper. "I currently use them to control lamp shades in various rooms, either on demand, according to preset schedule or elapsed time. I plan to buy more units to plug in other devices like radios, coffee machines, humidifiers.... Unlike other plugs I have tried in the past, the Gosund smart plugs have no problem connecting to my router, even with a weak Wi-Fi signal. I have it plugged in my garage, which is several feet from my router and across concrete walls, and connection has been very stable. I highly recommend them."

Gosund Smart Power Strip
Why turn an outlet into a smart outlet when you can turn it into six smart outlets? It's simple arithmetic! On sale for $13 with promo code UYN6H8SN (down from $40), the Gosund Smart Power Strip is a surge protector that shields up to six devices from overcharging, short-circuiting, over-voltage and over-discharge, while also making those devices instantly Wi-Fi-enabled and smart (via the Gosund app for iPhone and Android phones with support for Alexa and Google Home voice assistants). It's designed with three outlets and three USB-A ports and compatible with just about any device or appliance.
It's great for small spaces too. "I live in a small apartment so I don’t have very many sockets in my room so I bought this one to have one right by my bed," shared a savvy shopper. "I set it up on my frame and it’s amazing. The cord length was ideal for me, long enough to get to where I needed it to be without having too much left over that it got in the way. But by far my favorite aspect is the Alexa integration. It works perfectly with my Alexa. I haven’t had any issues and it was so easy to set up."

The Mini Smart Plug is a small doodad that fits between a power socket and an appliance (think coffee maker, TV or lamp) and enables you to operate said device through an app or a smart speaker. The upshot? It empowers you to achieve the formerly impossible, like turning off the lights without getting up from the couch or brewing java from bed in the morning with almost no effort. Think of these plugs as 'The Clapper,' but for the digital age.
"For those of you that are old enough to remember The Clapper from many years ago, this product is like that but smarter and better," explained a delighted five-star reviewer. "...We can get on our cellphones and turn these things on ahead of time so our rooms are the temperature that we want when we go to bed at night. These seriously are the smartest little plugs. I will be buying more of these for other rooms of the house."
