Amazon Smart Plug Now in India

Amazon Smart Plug is now available in India. The plug is a buffer that is placed between the power socket and the appliance. Amazon’s smart plug would allow users to use Alexa app or Alexa-enabled smart speaker to operate the appliances. The e-commerce giant has said that its plug is easy to set up and has a 3-pin socket with 6A power rating. With the help of Amazon’s Smart Plug, any appliance from lamps to electric kettles to TVs and many more devices can be voice controlled, via Fire TV, any Alexa device or using an existing Echo device. This can also help in setting up routines and saving time by telling Alexa what to do. The plug has an electrical input and output rating of 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz and maximum 6A. It can only be connected to 2.4 GHz Wifi, and does not support connection to ad-hoc or peer-to-peer networks. It can only be used exclusively with Alexa and does not support any other voice assistant. The plug is compatible through the Alexa app, with Fire OS, iOS and Android-based devices. It can be used any electrical appliance that needs to be plugged in for use.
