Of all the different deals we cover each day here on the BGR Deals channel, there’s one type of deal that our readers always seem to love: deep discounts on Wi-Fi smart plugs. It sort makes sense, of course, since a smart plug is the type of gadget you can never really have enough of. There are so many dumb devices all over your house, and a smart plug is the easiest way to add connectivity to them, along with some “smart” features.
Here are some examples of how I use smart plugs. In the summer I have a fan that I use to circulate air in my bedroom because the central air isn’t quite enough for me. I turn it on when I go to sleep, but if I let it run all night then I and up waking up because I’m too cold. With a smart plug, I have it set to turn off at a certain time each night while I’m asleep.
I also have a smart plug connected to a space heater in my office so I can turn it on and off on the other side of the room without getting up. I use smart plugs during the holidays to control my Christmas lights, too. And here’s a really cool one: I have all of my outdoor LED landscape lighting plugged in through one smart plug. This way I can set smart timers based on what time the sun sets each day. On top of that, I have it connected to SmartThings so anytime my outside Arlo cameras detect motion at night, it turns on all of my outside lighting!
