That doesn’t make sense to me. If it connects to Wi-Fi, it connects to Wi-Fi. Are there really plugs that are specific to a provider somehow? How do they even know? Read more

Another vote for the TP-Link Kasa system. We started with their old tear-drop shaped plugs a few years ago, and I would pick up another when they went on sale (which they do regularly). We’ve since moved to the smaller form factor plugs that don’t block the other outlet - though the old plugs are still in circulation…

The basic Amazon brand smart plug is super-solid and often goes on sale for $5. If you use Alexa, it’s a great choice. I have had ZERO problems with it, while other plugs will drop off the network and have to be completely reset, paired, etc. before they can be used again (cough, cough, Wemo, cough). Read more

I had the Wemo plugs and found them to be nearly unusable. If I cycled power on my router, they dropped off and had to be completely reset to get them back online. Then, they had to be repaired to the Alexa app. Same thing if my power cycled or I unplugged them. Read more

I got these for my birthday, and they’ve been great. Easy to setup, automatically update, can setup in the house and then put them anywhere. Read more

I really like the Belkin Wemo WiFi Smart Plug. This newer version is smaller (and less expensive) than their previous “mini” plug. I have three and they work very well, and they’re compatible with not only Google Assistant and Alexa like many of these options, they’re also compatible with HomeKit which I prefer. They… Read more

I’m a fan of the WEMO plugs. I specifically like the “vacation mode” which will turn the lights on and off at random intervals at random times throughout the day and evening to make it look like somebody is still home. Read more

I liked the Kasa HS105 and purchased a bunch of them to use and now I HATE them because they’re no longer trying to make them work with Apple Home Kit. I control them off of my Echo Dot, but it doesn’t always hear me clearly so it’s be nice to be able to just turn my lights off when I’m in bed from HomeKit on my iPad… Read more

I have several Kasa plugs. They work quite well and price wise they’re tough to beat. I like that a hub isn’t required to use them. They can be a little finicky to set up, but all you need is a little bit of patience.  Read more

Honestly, Bluetooth controllers haven’t solved my issues with mobile gaming in the slightest, I have two gamepads currently, one for tablets and on for phones, but a big problem no bluetooth gamepad has been able to solve for me is portability, I have yet to find a single BT Gamepad I would/could carry with me, add to… Read more

I also got one for my Note 20 Ultra to play the same games. While I find no real problems with connectivity from the controller to the device, there’s sometimes connection issues to Xbox Game Pass with shooters like Destiny but it’s quickly reconciled by playing it on Nvidia NOW or Stadia.

I have the TP Link Kasa smart plugs since they were available. I have the HS-110 and it’s been rock solid. I also own one of the smaller smart plugs, a white bulb, and a RGB bulb. Currently the HS-100 is available on Amazon for $20 per 2 pack ($10 per switch). The HS-100 is the same as the HS-110 without energy…
