This Kasa Matter smart plug 4-pack for $40 is a solid starter deal

Getting a few smart plugs will give you remote control over certain outlets, allowing you to turn devices on and off even when you aren’t nearby. Today, you can get a 4-pack of Kasa Matter Smart Plugs for $40, which is 43% off at Amazon and a nice price per piece.

These compact smart plugs are easy to use. Just pop one in any regular power outlet, then plug whatever device into it like normal. Now you can connect the smart plug to the Kasa app and turn it on and off whenever you want. You could use it with a fan, a lamp, or even an aquarium with lights that you want to toggle on demand. They also handle scheduling and auto-off timers for automated convenience.

But the killer feature? Energy monitoring! Each smart plug tracks how much energy is used by whatever is plugged into it, helping you see and understand power consumption patterns.

Kasa’s smart plugs work with Matter-certified platforms, which means they integrate with Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings. Matter integration ensures local control, so your smart home devices can still communicate effectively over LAN even if your internet service goes out.

Four Matter-compatible smart plugs for $40 is a good price for someone who doesn’t have any and wants to give it a try.
