DAYBETTER’s four-pack of smart plugs is a straightforward entry point into home automation. You get reliable, no-frills control for a significant chunk of your home’s outlets without a complex setup. It’s a practical choice for making ordinary appliances respond to your schedule or your voice.

Each plug handles up to 15 amps and 1800 watts, which covers most floor lamps, fans, space heaters, and coffee makers. Setting a schedule in the app is simple—tell your bedroom lamp to turn on at sunrise or have a living room fan shut off after you fall asleep. Voice control with Alexa and Google Assistant works as expected for basic on/off commands. The physical design is compact, so it won’t block the second outlet on most wall plates.

The functionality is strictly on/off, with no energy monitoring or away-mode automation. For that price and in a four-pack, that’s a fair trade. They perform one job reliably, which is turning dumb devices into scheduled, voice-controlled ones.
