Matter-compatible and packed with helpful features, this smart plug is compatible with Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant, but you'll need a hub that supports Thread, too. However, it's important to note; energy management doesn't work with Alexa-based connectivity. View Deal Today's best Smart Plug Prime Day deal

We rate the Eve Energy Smart Plug as one of the best smart plugs available, and doubly so for its excellent energy management chops, though it's a shame that doesn't work with Amazon devices; so skip the best Amazon Echo deals if that's your aim with this plug.

That being said, a litany of other smart plugs with other feature sets are also on offer. Those are listed below! More Prime Day smart plug deals

Simple and sweet, the Amazon smart plug is perfect for Alexa-based smart homes. Simply plug it in, connect it to your Alexa app and then program it
for your needs using the super simple app interface. The possibilities are near endless, from timing your coffee maker turning on to automatically switching the lights when you're away from home to deter potential home invaders. View Deal

More widely compatible, offering support for Alexa and Google Home, 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 if Eve isn't ticking your boxes.
