In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes… and people love Alexa. Sure, Amazon’s virtual personal assistant can answer all your questions and order whatever you need from the Amazon website. But Alexa can also control a wide range of smart devices now that Amazon is letting third-parties integrate Alexa for free. That’s awesome, but what about all the old gadgets in your house that aren’t "smart," like your lamps, fans, coffee makers, and more?
That’s where Alexa-enabled smart plugs come in, and falling prices made these little gadgets the hottest devices we shared with you last week. Well, prices are still falling, and we’ve got four great options for you to check out in this post:
