Smart plugs are literally a game-changer for us lazy people who can't be bothered to unplug our stuff 🤣. But seriously, I'm loving that Wyze Smart Plug is affordable (especially when you get two for 30 bucks). It's like they say, "you get what you pay for"... or in this case, you get a reliable smart plug that actually works 😊. The TP-Link Kasa Mini seems like a solid option too, especially since it's compatible with both Google and Amazon... I mean, who doesn't love having multiple options? 💡
 
man, smart plugs are getting so affordable 🤯! i mean, who wouldn't want to control their devices remotely or set schedules for lighting and appliances?

but what's up with these homekit and google assistant differences 🤔? it's like, can't they all just get along 😂? anyway, the TP-Link Kasa Mini Smart Plug EP10 seems like a solid choice - $8 is basically free 💸. i also appreciate that Wyze offers reliable options at a reasonable price (even if it does take 2 plugs to get a good deal 🤷‍♂️).

anyway, testing smart plugs can be kinda finicky, so kudos to the author for breaking down how to set them up 📈. matter standard is like, the future of home automation 🌟.
 
I remember when we first started using smart things in our homes 🤖. Now we got so many options it's hard to choose just one 💻. I think $8 for a TP-Link plug is still pretty cheap, but that Eve Energy Strip? That's some luxury stuff 💸. HomeKit or whatever that thing is, I don't really get why we need that extra step 🤔. But hey, if it looks sleek and works well, who am I to judge 😊.

I'm surprised they recommended the Wyze Smart Plug. That's like the 2.0 version of smart plugs now 🚀. Still, $15 for a pair? That's like buying a whole new lamp set 🔥. But hey, if it's reliable and works with both Amazon and Google, I suppose that's worth it 🤝.

You know what they should do? Make smart plugs that work seamlessly with all our stuff without any hassle 💥. Just plug in your lamp and say "Hey Alexa" or whatever... that'd be the life 😎.
 
I gotta say, 8 bucks for a smart plug is crazy cheap 🤯! Like, what's not to love? You get Alexa or Google Assistant built in and it's basically free 🤑. And don't even get me started on the Wyze Smart Plug, $15 for two is insane 💸! That's like getting a half decent smart bulb for that price 😂. But for real though, have you guys ever thought about how many old lamps are just collecting dust in our homes? I mean, with a smart plug like this, we could be powering them up and making some cash on the side 💸💡.
 
I'm so over these super cheap smart plugs that just kinda work 🤦‍♀️. I mean, sure, $8 is a great price, but what's the point if it's not gonna last long? Like, have you ever tried to return one of those things from Amazon? Forget about it! 🚮

On the other hand, something like that Eve Energy Strip would be so nice to have... for its sleek design alone 😍. But $75 is just outta my price range, you know? I think what really bothers me is how some of these brands are always trying to lock us in with their own ecosystems 🚫. Like, can't we just have a universal solution that works across all the platforms? 🤔

And then there's the Wyze Smart Plug... now that's a brand I can get behind 💯. Their smart home stuff is actually really reliable and affordable. But two packs for $30 is still kinda steep, if you ask me 🤑.

Anyway, kudos to the article for breaking down all these different options and helping us make sense of the chaos out there 😊.
 
I gotta say, I'm loving the options for smart plugs out there! 🤩 The TP-Link Kasa Mini is a solid choice if you're looking to save some cash (only $8 on Amazon!). But, at the same time, that Eve Energy Strip is giving me some serious design envy - sleek and modern, who wouldn't want one of those? 😍 On the other hand, I'm not sure about the Hubspace Defiant Smart Indoor Plug being so pricey ($10 is steep for a smart plug, if you ask me). But, hey, if it's part of Home Depot's smart home ecosystem, maybe it's worth checking out. And, I love that Roku Indoor Smart Plug SE is part of Wyze's smart home ecosystem - consistency is key when it comes to compatibility! 🤝
 
i think i'm a bit late to this party lol, but the thing that caught my eye is the wyze smart plug. 30 bucks for two is still kinda steep, imo. dont get me wrong, it sounds reliable and all, but is it worth the cost? personally, i'd rather have something cheaper like the tp-link kasa mini or even better, one of those generic chinese plugs that everyone's always talking about
 
I'm loving these affordable options for smart plugs now 🤩. I think I'll go with the TP-Link Kasa Mini Smart Plug EP10 - $8 is a steal! 💸 It's got both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa support, so I can control it with either one. I've tried those cheap generic ones before and they're just not reliable, but this brand seems legit. Plus, it's compatible with all the smart home ecosystems I'm already into 🏠. My old lamp is next on my list to get plugged in - can't wait to see how it works out! 💡
 
I'm so over these affordable smart plugs 🤯. I mean, $8 for a TP-Link Kasa Mini Smart Plug EP10? That's crazy! You'd think it's too good to be true. But seriously, if you're looking for a budget-friendly option that works with both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, this one is a solid choice 💡.

The Eve Energy Strip, on the other hand, is like the luxury car of smart plugs - it comes with a hefty price tag ($75, ugh!) but it's got some sick design vibes going on 🎨. And if you're already invested in HomeKit, it's definitely worth checking out.

I'm also loving the Wyze Smart Plug deal - two for $30? That's like stealing 💸! But what really caught my eye was the Roku Indoor Smart Plug SE - I mean, who wouldn't want a smart plug that's part of their favorite streaming ecosystem? 📺
 
I gotta say, I think Eve Energy Strip is a bit overpriced at $75 🤑. Don't get me wrong, it's got some sick features like the sleek design, but you're paying for that premium look. Meanwhile, TP-Link Kasa Mini Smart Plug EP10 is still a solid option at $8 💸, and I think Wyze Smart Plug is a good choice too... even if it's not super cheap 🤷‍♂️. But hey, gotta respect the designers who went all out with that Eve Energy Strip design 👍
 
🤯 I mean, come on! $75 for a smart energy strip? That's like paying an arm and leg for something that should just be a regular old energy strip 🤑. I know some of you tech enthusiasts might be all about the premium prices and the "sleek design" but honestly, it's just an energy strip with some fancy buttons and apps to go with it 🤦‍♀️.

And don't even get me started on the TP-Link Kasa Mini Smart Plug EP10. $8 is a steal, but come on, who needs two assistants working together? Can't we just have one that doesn't feel like it's trying too hard to be useful all the time 🤪?

But I guess for those of you who are super into smart home tech and don't mind breaking out your wallet, go ahead and splurge on that fancy energy strip or whatever 💸.
 
I'm loving the affordable options 🤑 like the TP-Link Kasa Mini Smart Plug EP10, $8 is a steal for such convenience! It's awesome how it works with both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, so you can switch between them easily 💻. The Wyze Smart Plug also looks solid, reliable, and compatible with both Amazon and Google 📈. I'm curious about the Eve Energy Strip though, $75 is a bit steep for me 😳, but if it's worth it for that sleek design, I'll consider it 👍.
 
I gotta say, I'm a bit disappointed in these smart plugs 🤔. Everyone's all about that affordable price point ($8 for TP-Link Kasa Mini EP10) but what about quality? The Eve Energy Strip is pricey at $75, and it's not even compatible with both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa (only HomeKit). Meanwhile, the Hubspace Defiant Smart Indoor Plug is only available on Home Depot's smart home ecosystem 🤷‍♂️. And don't even get me started on the Roku Indoor Smart Plug SE - what's the point of having a Roku Voice compatible plug if it's not going to be part of Wyze's whole smart home thing? 🤑
 
omg I just got the TP-Link Kasa Mini Smart Plug EP10 for my living room lamp 🌟💡 it's literally changed my life I was skeptical at first but now I can control the light from my bed using Google Assistant 😴🔦 and it's only $8 on Amazon lol what a steal! I also got a Wyze Smart Plug as a gift from my boyfriend 💕🎁 and we're planning to use it for our smart home renovation project 🏠💻 has anyone tried the Hubspace Defiant Smart Indoor Plug? is it worth the hype? 😂
 
🤔 I've been looking at these new smart plugs and it's crazy how much they're all about making life easier for us tech-heads 😅. But what really caught my attention is the fact that some of them are still pretty pricey 🤑, like that Eve Energy Strip thingy which costs a whopping $75 💸! I mean, I get the design aspect and HomeKit compatibility, but come on... how many people can afford to splurge on something that expensive? 💸👀

I've been using the TP-Link Kasa Mini Smart Plug EP10 for a bit now, and it's been working great with both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa 🤝. But I've also seen some reviews where people are saying it's a bit finicky to set up 📊. And what's up with the matter standard thingy? Is that even worth the extra hassle? 🤔
 
OMG have you guys ever tried that new coffee shop downtown? 🤪 I mean, I love their cold brew it's sooo good! But what really caught my attention was the weird design of their cups... it looks like they took a 3D printer to create these crazy shapes. Anyway, back to smart plugs... yeah, $15 for a two-pack sounds like a decent deal for Wyze Smart Plug 🤑
 
I'm loving all these new smart plug options popping up! I mean, $8 for a TP-Link Kasa Mini is insane 🤑, but you get what you pay for, right? I think it's great that Wyze is offering a two-pack deal for $30 - just thinking about how convenient that'll be to have multiple devices controlled with one app makes me super excited! 😆 And can we talk about the design of those Eve Energy Strips though? Sleek and modern, nice touch! 💡
 
I've been meaning to get some of these smart plugs for my house but I'm not sure if it's worth the extra cash 🤑. The Roku one seems like a solid choice since I already have Roku devices at home. How do you guys think about this vs the Wyze plug? Has anyone had any issues with them? Should I wait for a sale or just go ahead and get one now?
 
I'm so over these cheap smart plugs 🤯! I mean, what's the point of paying $8 for a plug that's just gonna make your lights work smarter? The TP-Link Kasa Mini is fine, I guess, but the Eve Energy Strip is way too pricey 💸. And don't even get me started on the Hubspace Defiant Smart Indoor Plug - who thought it was a good idea to charge $10 for a plug that's basically just a fancy Home Depot branded thing 🤔.

But, you know what? If I'm gonna splurge, it's gotta be worth it. And from what I've seen, the Roku Indoor Smart Plug SE is actually pretty cool 🔩. It's part of Wyze's smart home ecosystem, so I can control all my devices with one app. Plus, it's only $9, which isn't too shabby for a plug that works as well as it does.

I'm also gonna have to give a shoutout to the Wyze Smart Plug - it's reliable, and it's compatible with both Amazon and Google. I've heard good things about this thing, so if you're in the market for a smart plug, I'd say go for the Wyze one 👍.
