Which Smart Plug Brand To Buy In 2024 & Beyond?

Smart plugs are REALLY useful devices, but there seems to be too much choice out there right now. For example a quick Amazon search showed me smart plugs from Philips Hue, Amazon, EIGHTREE, Leviton, TP-Link Kasa, Tapo and more.

Which should you choose? Well I discuss the most important buying factors in this video. I also mention a few helpful articles on the Smart Home Point blog, and you can find these articles at:
