Making lamps and appliances in your home smarter is more affordable than you might think, especially with Black Friday sales around the corner. You don’t have to wait until the end of the month to start saving, though, as Amazon has a one-day sale running right now on BN-Link indoor and outdoor plugs.
The promotion offers a wide variety of plugs and switches, some with additional smart home capabilities, with as much as 32% off. Prices start as low as $8 which makes it super affordable to smarten up your home.
The sale has a lot of timer-based plugs that offer a super simple way to automate certain lights or appliances in or around your home, though the most interesting options for those steeped in tech feature Wi-Fi for remote control.
Once these smart plugs are plugged into an outlet in or around your home, you can begin turning electronics on and off from anywhere using an app on your phone. All you have to do is plug that device into the smart plug and download the free Smart Life app to get started. With the app, you can control whether the plug is on or off even when you’re not at home. Plus, it can be voice-controlled when you connect it with an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device, like the Echo Dot smart speaker.
The discounted indoor smart plug 2-pack drops the price of each plug to under $6 or the 4-pack that makes each plug less than $5. If you need some smart power outside, the 3-outlet outdoor Wi-Fi model is down to $14 and features IP44 weatherproofing to make it safe to use with outdoor lights and more.
Whether you’re just being lazy and don’t want to get out of bed or if you’re not home at all, these plugs might just become your favorite smart home purchase. They even allow you to schedule when you want your appliances to turn on or off with both timer and countdown options to switch between.
