Kasa Smart Plug bundle for $27 ahead of Prime Day — Save $23

By Patrick Hearn October 10, 2020

Prime Day is right around the corner, but that hasn’t stopped early Prime Day deals from starting ahead of time. If you’re looking for a way to control your whole home without breaking the bank, the Kasa Smart Plug by TP-Link is a great option. This four-pack normally costs $50, but is discounted right now to just $27.

Each one of these smart plugs can be controlled through Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or IFTTT. All you have to do is ask your assistant to turn the plug on or off and it will respond. If you want remote control of a light or appliance in your home but you don’t want to invest in a smart bulb, this is a great alternative.

Smart plugs are also perfect for plugging more dangerous appliances into, like a curling iron or a personal space heater. You never have to worry about leaving one of these appliances turned on when you can simply turn off the power through the plug.

Smart plugs can be controlled through an app, but you can also set up schedules to streamline the operation of your home. For example, you might plug a coffee maker into one of these plugs and set it to turn on at a specific time each morning. As long as you remember to prep the coffee pot the day before, you can wake up to the smell of your favorite joe all throughout the home.

You can also link the Kasa smart plug to other devices in your home. For example, if a motion sensor detects motion, you can set your plug to turn on the power to a lamp.

The Kasa smart plug is easy to install and set up through the Kasa app. It takes less than five minutes and requires only an open outlet and a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection. Unlike other brands of smart plugs, Kasa smart plugs are narrow enough that you do not lose an entire outlet when you plug one of these into it.

This four-pack is a fantastic Prime Day smart home deal. As more deals like this show up, products are likely to sell out quickly. If you see something you’re interested in, don’t hesitate to jump on it.

For Earth Day 2023, Recycle the Old and Go Green with eufy Security

This content was produced in partnership with Anker.
Earth Day serves as a reminder that we must change human behavior, at least when it comes to waste and excess, and create global policy changes that are better for the environment and our local communities. As we head into Earth Day for 2023, it makes sense to be mindful of how we're treating our planet. And one thing that's quite damaging is the constant upgrade and disposal of modern consumer electronics. From the rare Earth metals used to build them to the eventual waste they create as they're thrown away -- more than 50 million metric tons of e-waste is generated globally each year -- our tech does pose a threat to the environment and the planet. While tech adoption and the infamous upgrade to the latest and greatest devices won't slow anytime soon, it's always great to see new programs that aim to solve these kinds of problems.

Cue the eufy Security Trade-In program. To coincide with the launch of its newest S220 SoloCam smart security camera, they're honoring a recycling process for customers, allowing them to send in old devices and get an exclusive discount for their trade-in. The program is a partnership between eufy Security and Dynamic Lifecycle Innovations, intending to cut down on e-waste. First, let's consider the equitable program and then take a closer look at eufy Security's latest S220 SoloCam.
