We rate the Amazon Smart Plug as one of the best smart plugs available, and doubly so for its easy connectivity with Alexa. While it exclusively works with Amazon's voice assistant, that's likely no big drama if you're shopping smart home deals this Prime Day; that's when you'll get the best Amazon Echo deals , too.

That being said, a litany of other devices with wider compatibility are also on offer, though I've struggled to find any with as significant a cut as Amazon's. Those are listed below! More Prime Day smart plug deals

More widely compatible, offering support for Alexa, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings, this is a great deal on a hearty multipack of smart plugs. View Deal

While the deal value isn't as good, Philips Hue offers Apple HomeKit compatibility in addition to Alexa and Google Assistant. There aren't a great deal of HomeKit-compatible models I can personally recommend, but this is a solid option.
