Amazon Smart Plug: what it works with
Amazon · model Amazon Smart Plug · sold in US
Alexa only, and Amazon says so outright: the Amazon Smart Plug doesn't support other voice assistants or smart hubs, so Apple Home, Google Home and SmartThings are out. Setup and control happen in the Alexa app; you don't need a hub, and an Echo is optional. It's a US plug on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, rated 120 V / 15 A, though Amazon gives no wattage figure. Amazon also doesn't mention energy monitoring or say whether it works when the internet is down.
