Best For asking When actors: Amazon Smart Plug

Buy on Amazon

The amazon smart plug might be a relatively new release, but it's still nothing short of impressive this year, thanks to multiple price cuts and added new features over the past few iterations. It's fun getting it to sing and answer silly questions after everone has gone to sleep. It is good for asking when actors are born or died. It comes with an echo dot and amazon smart plug, so you can add voice control to any outlet. It will turn it on if it's off, or turn it off if it's on.

This gen, with the fabric wrap is nice looking compared to previous models and the volume at max is more than sufficient for some light partying while pushing a swiffer and dust cloth around the house or working on a project in the garage. There are even accessories that can be added to it that allow you to use your wall socket to hold the echo dot if you aren't interested in setting it on a surface. It is easy to connect other products too.

Best With Zigbee: Amazon Echo Dot

Buy on Amazon

Next on the list, we've got yet another product that manages to win our hearts. It's the amazon echo dot and it's widely considered as product that has the most suitable features. If you have aging parents, this is a must for kids who love to leave lights on. It offers a built in hub with alexa. It includes an echo dot (3rd gen) charcoal and philips hue white a19 medium lumen smart bulb, 1100 lumens. The bulb that comes with it works well as a light but doesn’t always respond to commands even when Alexa confirms that it has. It’s small puck profile is much less obtrusive than the sphere, allowing it to fit better into the background rather than be a prominent feature.

This smart light, while bluetooth compatible, will continue to work with your hue hub and can be seamlessly integrated into your hue ecosystem. It is going to be a little bit of a hassle to keep each smart device connected and running well with the echo dot.
