There are so many excellent smart devices on sale right now during the October Prime Day event to start a smart home with or expand your current setup. But the one that can provide connectivity to things you already have, like lamps, fans and more, is the Kasa Smart Plug. Normally, these devices fall into the budget smart home device category regardless of sales, but today, you can get a two-pack for only $12 -- that's truly budget-friendly.
Kasa makes some of our favorite smart plugs due to their simplicity of setup and use and the built-in features. There are many reasons to buy this smart plug, like being able to schedule devices to turn on and off at specific times. You could have your favorite antique floor lamp plugged into this smart plug and schedule it to automatically power on when you wake up in the morning and off after a few hours.
You can also set timers so that whatever is connected to the Kasa Smart Plug will turn off when the timer runs out. Away Mode is a great feature available with this device as it will automatically turn on and off connected devices to make it seem like your home. However, since it is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, you can use your voice to control it and even connect it to other devices you have set up. A motion sensor can trigger your smart plug when it detects someone walking past it.
