A good smart plug can take your lamps or TVs from mindless to energy-efficient. Here’s a list of the ones we liked and a few we’ve thrown into the bottom drawer.

Before you start shopping for a smart plug, you'll need to keep a few things in mind.Not everything you connect to a smart plug will work the way you intend. For example, if you plug an old window AC unit into a smart plug, you might be able to control power to it, but you also might still need to hit the "On" button on the AC to get it to start cooling, therefore making the smart plug useless.

You usually need to install an app to set up the smart plug, and this is where you can control it and find more granular settings, like the ability to set schedules and group several smart plugs into one category. If you want to use many smart plugs in your home, you'll have an easier time buying from one brand. Most of these plugs also work with Google Assistant or Alexa, so once you set up the app and connect them to your preferred voice assistant, you may not need to use the app anymore.
