And thanks to Wi-Fi connectivity and a custom app, you’ll then have the ability to shut these devices off remotely if someone in your household has left them running. Smart plugs are pretty common these days, but the Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug mini is one of the few that not only packs in Apple HomeKit compatibility, but also includes energy monitoring; all at a price of $12.50 per plug. In fact it has earned a spot on our best smart plugs list, even before its update. This means that you can effectively bark a command, at the Google Assistant, Alexa or Siri, such as “turn on the light” and providing you’ve integrated the Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug mini into your smart home platform of choice, you can effectively control lighting and other smart plug connected devices with your voice. And all this can be done without needing a central smart home hub device. In short, this is one of the smart plugs to consider if you not only want to keep a closer eye on the energy consumption of your home’s devices, but also have more remote control over them and the devices connected to your power outlets.
