The Best Smart Plugs for Every Smart Home Ecosystem 2025

Our experience shows the Leviton Decora Smart Plug is a dependable, HomeKit-friendly option that scored 8/10 for its wide ecosystem support and easy install. During our review voice control via Alexa, Google and Siri was rock solid and scheduling through the My Leviton app worked for basic automations. We found the physical design is bulky and often blocks the adjacent outlet, and the app can feel clunky compared with rivals; it also doesn’t support dimming for lamps. If you value HomeKit compatibility and reliability, it's a practical choice.

The Echo Dot scored a top-tier 9/10 in our testing as a compact, affordable hub that also acts as a speaker and sensor for smart homes. We found the improved sound and stronger bass make it surprisingly capable for music, and built-in motion and temperature sensors add automation possibilities beyond simple voice control. During our review the limits were predictable — bass is constrained by the small size, motion detection range can be limited in larger rooms, and the temperature sensor isn’t as accurate as dedicated probes. For overall value and ecosystem control, it’s our top-rated choice.

During our review the Geeni Dot Smart Wi‑Fi Outlet two-pack stood out as an ultra-affordable way to add basic smart control, and it earned a 7/10 for value. We found setup quick and the Geeni app straightforward, with reliable Alexa and Google Assistant integration for voice control and remote access. Our experience shows limits: it only supports 2.4GHz Wi‑Fi, some users report longevity concerns, and customer support can be unresponsive. If you want cheap, simple smart plugs and don’t need advanced features, these are hard to beat.

During our review the Aqara Smart Plug earned its high 9.5/10 rating by delivering rock-solid stability, energy monitoring and built-in overload protection that are rare at this level. We found its multi-platform compatibility — Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit — extremely handy for mixing ecosystems, though our experience shows it requires an Aqara hub and has an oversized design that prevents putting two plugs in one duplex outlet. The performance and safety features justify the premium price if you want enterprise-style reliability at home.

Meross’s Wi‑Fi Smart Plug Mini 4‑pack stands out in our testing with an 8/10 score for compatibility and space-saving design. We found you can stack two plugs in a single outlet and enjoy support for HomeKit, Alexa, Google Assistant and SmartThings, which is rare at this price, and setup is generally user-friendly. During our review some users reported app malfunctions and occasional syncing hiccups, and it lacks energy monitoring — but for compact, multi-platform control this pack is hard to beat for value.

Wyze Plug is an ultra-affordable option that earned a 6.5/10 in our review for delivering basic smart control without ecosystem breadth. We found the price — effectively under $8 per unit in multi‑pack buys — makes it an easy choice for lighting and small appliances, and it supports Alexa, Google Assistant and IFTTT for simple automations. Our experience shows a notable downside: no Apple HomeKit or SmartThings support, so it’s best for households already committed to Alexa or Google. Scheduling and remote access performed reliably during our testing.

The Tapo P125M Smart Plug Mini scored an 8/10 in our experience as a compact, budget-friendly option that supports Alexa, Google Assistant, HomeKit and SmartThings for broad ecosystem flexibility. We found the tiny footprint lets you stack two plugs in one duplex outlet without blocking the neighbor socket, which is perfect for crowded power strips and bedside lamps. During our review the tradeoff showed up in the lack of energy monitoring and no dimming or Thread radio, but at $14.99 it’s a practical pick for multi-platform voice control and scheduling.

The meross Smart Plug Mini 4‑pack scored an 8/10 in our testing by blending compact stackable design with broad platform support, including HomeKit, Alexa and Google Assistant. We found having four mini plugs that won’t block the neighboring outlet makes whole-room automation painless, and remote access plus scheduling worked well for everyday routines. During our review the app reliability occasionally lagged — some users report disconnects or re-syncing — and there’s no energy monitoring, but at $26.98 this pack is a great value for multi-ecosystem households.

In our testing the WeMo Mini Smart Plug stood out for its tiny footprint and intuitive manual on/off button, helping it score 8.5/10 for everyday convenience. We found it plays nicely with Alexa, Google Home, Nest and IFTTT, and its compact design avoids blocking the second outlet — a practical real-world benefit. During our review setup required connecting to the device’s Wi‑Fi network and remote access depends on Belkin’s cloud linking, which some users may dislike. If local HomeKit integration is essential you’ll need the separate Belkin bridge.

If you want true dimming in a plug-in form, the Decora Smart Dimmer Plug is one of our favorites, earning an 8/10 for its full-range dimming and broad voice assistant support. We found the compact Decora design often lets you use two plug-ins in a single outlet and voice control via Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri works well, while the My Leviton app lets you fine-tune dim levels. During our review we ran into 2.4GHz-only Wi‑Fi limits and occasional HomeKit integration hiccups, plus the hardware button only toggles on/off, not dimming.

If you’re invested in Apple’s ecosystem, the Eve Energy is a HomeKit-first smart plug that earned a 6.5/10 in our testing. We found its energy monitoring is impressively detailed and Thread support gives snappier local responsiveness for automations, so it’s great if you want real consumption insights in the Home app. During our review the limits were obvious — remote access requires an Apple TV 4K or HomePod mini and the $119.85 price is high compared with rivals — so it’s best for HomeKit purists who value local control and power metrics.

The Eve Energy Smart Plug (Amazon) scored a 7/10 in our testing by combining energy monitoring with broad platform support, including HomeKit, Alexa, Google and SmartThings. We found the Matter-over-Thread connectivity and clear consumption metrics make it useful for tracking and automating power-hungry devices, and setup is generally straightforward. During our review the unit was slightly pricier than some competitors and occasionally showed connectivity hiccups on certain platforms, and the app can feel clunky, but it’s a solid middle-ground if you want power insights across multiple ecosystems.

In our testing the Kasa Smart Plug HS103P4 impressed with a compact, stackable design and straightforward setup that earned it a solid 7/10. We found it pairs quickly with Alexa and Google Home for reliable voice control, and the small profile lets you use two plugs in one outlet without trouble. During our review we missed built-in energy monitoring and noted the 2.4GHz-only Wi‑Fi requirement can cause connectivity hiccups for some households. If you want a compact, budget-friendly plug for basic automation, this is a sensible pick.

In our testing the Kasa Smart Plug HS103P3 impressed as a budget-friendly, easy-to-use plug that scored 7.5/10 thanks to its excellent Wi‑Fi compatibility and Kasa app. We found it pairs smoothly with Alexa and Google Assistant, and the app is one of the friendliest for creating schedules and automations. During our review the absence of Apple HomeKit support was notable, and a minority of users experienced occasional disconnects. If you want straightforward voice control across 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks, this is a solid everyday choice.

Emporia’s Smart Plug impressed us in testing with detailed energy monitoring and a friendly app, earning a 7.5/10 for insight-focused users. We found the price is accessible and the energy reports are genuinely useful if you’re watching consumption or budgeting power-hungry devices. During our review the unit’s biggest limits were lack of Apple HomeKit and IFTTT support, and the always-on status LED that can’t be disabled — small annoyances if you want deeper ecosystem flexibility or a fully darkened outlet. Overall it’s a smart pick for energy tracking without breaking the bank.

The Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip HS300 is a powerhouse that earned an 8.5/10 in our testing for control and energy insight, especially if you need multiple independently controlled outlets. We found the HS300’s six smart outlets, three USB ports and ETL-certified surge protection make it ideal for home offices or entertainment centers where monitoring energy and protecting gear matters. During our review we noted it lacks Apple HomeKit support, the USB ports don’t fast-charge, and the steep $450 price makes it a premium but very feature-rich choice for heavy users.

In our testing the Govee Smart Plug Pro proved to be a friendly, budget-minded option for Alexa and Google Assistant users, earning a 7.5/10 for balanced features. We found the built-in energy monitoring useful for tracking consumption and the app is easy to use, making remote access and scheduling straightforward. During our review its biggest drawbacks were the lack of 5GHz Wi‑Fi support and missing advanced automation found on pricier models, plus some users reported flaky scheduling. If you want simple voice control and energy insight, it’s a solid pick.

Linkind’s Smart Plug scored an 8/10 in our testing for delivering smooth platform integration and a painless setup experience. We found it pairs cleanly with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings so you can add voice control quickly without juggling extra apps. Our experience shows the unit is limited to 2.4GHz Wi‑Fi, and certain integrations may require a Matter‑certified hub — a small tradeoff for its low $17.99 price and reliable day-to-day performance. Scheduling and remote access worked well in our review, making it a sensible, budget-friendly pick.

The GHome Smart Mini Plugs are a budget-first option that earned a 7/10 in our testing thanks to compact size and easy setup. We found the tiny footprint useful because it rarely blocks the second outlet and voice control with Alexa and Google Home is straightforward. During our review the app felt glitchy at times and the 10A/1200W limit plus 2.4GHz-only Wi‑Fi makes this a poor fit for high-power devices or modern 5GHz networks. If you want cheap, reliable basic automation, these do the job.

The Tapo Smart Plug Mini is compact and unobtrusive, which we appreciated in our testing, but it scored a modest 6.5/10 overall. We found the small profile useful for keeping the second outlet free, yet our experience shows the price is higher than many rivals and connectivity with Amazon Alexa can be intermittent. Scheduling and remote access work when connected, but if you rely heavily on flawless Alexa integration or want the best value, there are cheaper, more reliable mini plugs available.

Eightree’s 4‑pack Smart Plug is an affordable way to add basic automation and earned a 7/10 in our testing for ease of setup via the Smart Life app. We found voice control with Alexa and Google Home works as expected and the unit is a straightforward fit for lamps and small appliances. Our experience shows the usual tradeoffs at this price: 2.4GHz‑only Wi‑Fi, no outdoor rating, and occasional connectivity blips for some users. If you want cheap, simple plugs and don’t need advanced features, this is a practical starter kit.

The WiZ Smart Plug is an ultra-affordable, user-friendly choice that earned a 6.5/10 in our testing and is hard to beat on price. We found setup is quick and voice control via Alexa or Google Assistant is reliable for everyday on/off schedules, making it an easy way to automate lamps and small appliances. During our review the downsides were clear: no energy monitoring, only 2.4GHz Wi‑Fi support and no HomeKit compatibility, so it’s best if you want cheap, straightforward smart control without advanced power tracking.

We found the Kasa Smart Outdoor Plug KP400 a tough, reliable way to add smart control to your patio or garden, earning an 8/10 for outdoor performance. In our testing the two independent outlets and weather-resistant build made it easy to run lights and decor separately while Alexa and Google voice control worked reliably. During our review we were annoyed there’s no HomeKit or energy monitoring, and the rubber gasket protecting unused outlets can fall out. For rugged dual-outlet outdoor control, this is a strong value.

During our review the Ring Outdoor Smart Plug felt like the obvious choice if you’re already invested in Ring’s ecosystem, since it integrates well in the Ring app and gives independent control of each outlet. We found setup more involved than competitors because the plug needs a separate bridge for Wi‑Fi connectivity, and it lacks support for Google Assistant or Apple HomeKit. Our experience shows it's practical for Ring users who want simple outdoor schedules and remote access, but less attractive if you want multi-ecosystem flexibility.

We found the BN-LINK Outdoor Power Stake to be a simple, sturdy solution for sprinklers, landscape lighting, or holiday displays, with easy setup and a durable weatherproof design that earned a 6/10. During our review the unit felt versatile for basic outdoor scheduling without relying on apps or Wi‑Fi, but our experience shows it lacks voice control and remote access. Notable downsides were reported lid-closure problems with heavy-duty extension cords and confusing motor rating info on packaging. If you need rugged, low-tech outdoor timing, it works well.

If you need rugged outdoor control, the Lutron Caseta Outdoor Smart Plug is a strong choice — in our testing it earned a 7.5/10 for durability and ecosystem support. We found the IP65-rated weatherproof design and heavy-duty 15A/½ HP load capacity make it ideal for landscape lighting and pumps, and it plays nicely with Alexa, Google Assistant and HomeKit. During our review the biggest drawbacks were the higher $84.62 price and the need for a Lutron Smart Bridge to unlock scheduling and full integration. Note that it only offers on/off control (no dimming) and its bulkier form may complicate some mounting options.

For outdoor automation on a shoestring, the Wyze Outdoor Plug earned a solid 7.5/10 in our testing thanks to dual outlets, energy monitoring and an IP64 weather rating. We found the ability to monitor consumption outdoors and control two devices independently makes it ideal for patio lights or holiday decor, but during our review we hit some setup and Wi‑Fi connectivity hiccups and occasional voice assistant integration quirks. If you value outdoor weatherproofing plus energy insight at $15.99, it’s a strong value with a few reliability caveats.

If you need weatherproof outdoor control on a budget, the Geeni Outdoor Duo earned a 7/10 in our testing for delivering two outdoor-ready outlets with voice control via Alexa and Google. We found the rugged design and scheduling through the Geeni app handled seasonal lights and garden devices well, but our experience shows recurring connectivity issues and 2.4GHz-only Wi‑Fi can be frustrating, and customer service has been slow for some users. For about $14.39 it’s a capable outdoor plug if you’re prepared to troubleshoot occasional reconnections.

The BN-LINK Outdoor Digital Stake Timer is a rugged, no-frills option that earned only a 5.5/10 in our testing because of reliability concerns. We found the weatherproof construction is solid for seasonal lighting and irrigation setups, and the analog timer is simple to operate without Wi‑Fi, which some users prefer. During our review the weak spot was timer longevity — multiple reports of the timing mechanism failing or being delicate — so while it’s durable in build, our experience shows it’s best for short-term or low-risk outdoor timing tasks.

For reliable outdoor control with Matter compatibility, the Kasa Matter Outdoor Plug earned a 7.5/10 in our testing thanks to two individually controlled outlets and IP64 weather protection. We found voice control via Alexa, Google and HomeKit plus remote access and scheduling make it flexible for garden lights or outdoor speakers, but during our review the lack of energy monitoring and occasional Wi‑Fi connectivity issues were noticeable. At about $19.99 it’s a convenient, ecosystem-friendly outdoor option if you don’t need power-tracking.
