Which smart plugs did you get? How do you use your smart plugs, besides when you are out of town? Enable me. My FAVORITE use is with my Christmas tree. I just tell alexa to turn it in or off...so handy! I used to think the foot clicker switch was cool, but this is 100 times better! When I am going downstairs to the family room, I will tell her to turn on the family room light, so the light is on before I even get there. That especially comes in handy during the winter months when it is dark at 4pm. I also have a smart plug connected to a very small lamp by my back door, and if I ever have to take the dog out in the middle of the night, as I’m walking out there I can tell her to turn on that lamp without having to turn on any big overhead lights. You can name the switches whatever you want, so in the summer months I will take the plug for my Christmas tree and rename it something else . But now after today I’ll have five smart plugs…Plenty for my needs . They are great!

I LOVE my Ninja slow cooker. The stove top setting is great for searing meat. I don't know if there's a deal on it tomorrow though. Ninja Multi CookerI love this unit! Very versatile and also use it a ton in our camper trailer.

I ordered a Kindle paperwhite. I've been looking at them for a while and just bit the bullet. I love mine! I've read 14 books so far this year on it.

What power banks are you all getting? I got this one but it looks like it's not on sale now. It was $15.xx when I bought it.

What power banks are you all getting? I got this Anker one. Same one I got at Christmas and have had good luck with it (just wanted an extra for the kids tablets when we are traveling). I did a fair amount of research at the time and picked it then based on the various reviews and recommendations. Would have loved another fun color since it seems less easy to lose, but for the price I was happy with the black this time.

They also have the 4k with a dot for $22, then use code SHIP2ME for an extra $5 off; I got that set for $18 (after tax). I'll return the 4k I bought yesterday for $25 and put the dot either in our bedroom or yds' room. do you have a link? i can't find that deal. Interesting. looks like it is a dead deal

auntkellyWhat app are you referring to? The Amazon app, if so, notifications?? Thanks in advance. Yes. It’s the Amazon app. Every time I open it, it says “allow notifications?” I’ve always clicked “not now” until yesterday when I clicked “allow.” I’ll go back and turn them off when prime day is over. Thanks a bunch! I went in and turned mine on! Happy Shopping! 😀

Which smart plugs did you get? How do you use your smart plugs, besides when you are out of town? Enable me. Mine is used because I am lazy. I have a floor lamp in the den with a very hard to get to foot switch. I hooked that one up so I could tell Alexa to turn it on. I got one for a lamp in the bedroom because it is so dark going into our room. We have 3 dogs and some dammit sticks that are here and about on the floor. Like kids' Legos. To save stepping on a dog laying across the doorway or killing a stuffed animal, I have another smart plug but that on is connected to my Google.

Same in the morning for turning it on. I’m lazy, but it is just easier to verbally say it while I’m walking in or out of the room, rather than going over to the lamp. I can also use the app to set regular on and offs - so the lamp in my son’s room goes off at 11:45 pm at night, because if it isn’t on a timer it will never get turned off on the nights he opts to sleep in the basement.

Thanks ladies, I didn’t think about the lazy factor...let’s just call that efficient, shall we? Katie Love the idea for a Christmas tree! Okay, I have one lamp that could be helpful for, and one for the Christmas tree, sold! Enabling accomplished, I knew I could count on y’all I’d love it for my bedside lamp too, but with all the news on listening to conversations I don’t feel comfortable with an Alexa in our bedroom.

I bought a set of Tefal Ingenio pans. They have removable handles and this set comes with two, so I’ll split the set between my campervan and my home. I’ve had my eye on this set for months so I’m chuffed to get it with a good bit off today.

You could control your bedside lamp using your phone/iPad/tablet. You don’t need Alexa. They also have a manual button so that you can turn it on and off manually if you are really motivated!

Wait can you explain this? To turn off my bedside lamp I need to get out of bed. Would I just need one of those smart plugs? ETA I don’t have Alexa

Wait can you explain this? To turn off my bedside lamp I need to get out of bed. Would I just need one of those smart plugs? Yes. Just plug it into a smart plug and into your wall receptacle/power strip. Then, you load the app connected with your particular brand of smart plug and you can turn it on and off - and thereby your lamp - from your phone/iPad. And/or if you have an Alexa device in the room, you can just ask Alexa to do it. Many smart plugs that are Alexa compatible will even let you control them from within your Alexa app without having to open your “plug brand” app.

Then, you load the app connected with your particular brand of smart plug and you can turn it on and off - and thereby your lamp - from your phone/iPad. We ordered This one before we left on our recent vacation to turn our house lights off and on. Worked like a charm when we tested it with the phone standing there. We go off on vacation and come home to the light on in DD's room (plug one) but not in the living room (plug two). Turns out we didn't turn the lamp on so yes, it' works exactly as described above, but you have to actually have the item turned on for it to be effective.

I do not have an Alexa or any Alexa device in my house. I do however have smart plugs ( go smart ) and I can use them from my iPhone. I can set timers on the app and they go on/off as per each timer. I can even turn on the light from Virginia if I’m on the internet because I’ve done that already.
I asked DS for them last holiday because I felt bad because I’d get home after dark & the dog was laying there alone in the dark. And you know we can’t gave the dog looking depressed in the dark can we?

elaine DH is okay with it. He asked me to look around and "ask the Peas"........ LOL. It was a good price for the Deal of the Day laptop, and it's very basic. It should serve his needs! Hope this one doesn't break for at least 2 years!! (I used his Amazon credit card). Thanks!!
