00:00Okay, so I finally got tired of walking across the room to turn off a lamp and it turns out
00:04fixing that costs way less than I thought. I've spent the last couple of weeks digging through
00:09the deals, reading way too many reviews, and testing what actually works with Alexa and
00:14Google Home. These are the 5 best smart plugs I found for building a voice-controlled home,
00:19and honestly, a couple of them surprised me. First up is the 20-amp EU smart plug that works
00:25with Tuya, Smart Life, Alexa, Yandex, and Google Home. The big deal here is that 20-amp rating,
00:31most cheap plugs top out at 10 or 16 amps, which means you can't run anything serious through them.
00:37This one handles space heaters, air conditioners, water heaters, the heavy stuff. Plus you get real
00:44energy monitoring, so you can actually see which appliance is quietly eating your electricity bill.
00:49It's $71.18, and with nearly 4,900 sold and a 4.9 rating, people clearly aren't sending these
00:57back. If you want one plug that does everything, this is it. Next, there's the 16 or 20-amp Wi
01:04-Fi
01:04socket with power monitoring and timing functions. This one's the value pick at $55.57, and what I
01:12really like is the timing feature, you can set your coffee maker to kick on at 6.45am,
01:16or have your lights fake being home while you're on vacation. It pairs with Tuya and Smart Life,
01:22works with Alexa and Google, and setup takes about 2 minutes. Over 4,400 sold with a 4.8 rating.
01:30If you're buying your first smart plug and don't want to overthink it, start here.
01:35Number 3 is for my Swiss viewers, because you guys always get forgotten.
01:39This is a 16-amp Wi-Fi smart plug built specifically for the Swiss Type-J outlet,
01:44and finding a decent one that actually fits is genuinely hard.
01:48It runs on Tuya and Smart Life, works with Alexa and Google Assistant, and includes scheduling and
01:54timers. It's $70.87 with a 4.9 rating and over 4,100 sold, so it's not some obscure gamble.
02:02If you live in Switzerland and you've been stuck watching everyone else automate their homes,
02:07this is your entry ticket. Fourth on the list is another 20-amp EU plug,
02:11but this one comes in at $61.65, about $10 cheaper than our number 1. It's got the same
02:19heavy-duty 20-amp capacity, the same energy monitoring, and it works with Alexa, Google Home,
02:24Yandex, and Alice, which is great if you're using Russian voice assistants.
02:28Over 4,000 sold, 4.9 stars. Honestly, if you're buying 2 or 3 plugs at once,
02:35that price difference adds up fast, this is the smart bulk buy option.
02:39And rounding things out at number 5, the 16-slash-20-amp smart socket with power monitoring
02:44and timing at $56.35. This one's the sweet spot for me, you get the high amp rating,
02:51the energy tracking, the scheduling, and full support for Tuya, Alexa, Google Home, and Alice,
02:56all for under $60. It's got a 4.9 rating from nearly 3,800 buyers. If you want the premium
03:04features
03:05without the premium price tag, this is probably the one I'd grab first. All five links are down
03:11in the description, and I've kept them updated with the best prices I could find. If this saved

03:21Thanks for watching, I'll see you in the next one.
