This unit was sent to me to review with my honest opinion and results below.
Smart Plugs are a great way to control electronics by turning on and off the power to anything plugged into it.
This is a common way to control lights such as a lamp turning any light into a Smart light. Of course many other things can also be controlled.
The Koogeek Smart Plug P2 is one such unit that can turn on and off your devices with an App, or voice commands using Siri or Amazon Alexa.
This is good news for those who have Siri or Alexa devices such as the Amazon Echo DOT.
For example after setting up a Smart Plug it will turn on and off with voice commands to Alexa via the Echo DOT or other Alexa devices.
It also does not require a Hub and is a standalone Smart Plug, which makes it a good starter smart device that can be easily expanded later.
