Setup Instructions

Setting up your Amazon Smart Plug is a straightforward process that does not require a separate smart home hub. Follow these steps to get started:

Plug In: Insert the Amazon Smart Plug into a standard electrical wall outlet. Ensure the outlet is functioning correctly.
Open Alexa App: Launch the Amazon Alexa app on your smartphone or tablet. If you do not have the app, download it from your device's app store.
Device Detection: The Alexa app should automatically detect the new Smart Plug. If not, navigate to the 'Devices' section, tap the '+' icon, and select 'Add Device', then 'Plug'.
Follow On-Screen Prompts: The app will guide you through connecting the plug to your Wi-Fi network and assigning it a name (e.g., "Living Room Lamp," "Coffee Maker").
Optional: Group Devices: For easier control, you can add your Smart Plug to an existing Alexa group (e.g., "Bedroom," "Kitchen") or create a new one.

Operating Instructions

Once set up, you can control your Amazon Smart Plug in several ways:

Alexa App Control: Open the Alexa app on your smartphone or tablet. Navigate to the 'Devices' section, select your Smart Plug, and toggle it on or off.
Scheduling and Routines: Create custom schedules or routines within the Alexa app. You can program devices to turn on or off at specific times, or trigger actions based on other smart home events. For example, set your lights to turn on at sunset.
Remote Control: Control your Smart Plug from anywhere with an internet connection using the Alexa app.
Manual Control: The Smart Plug features a physical button on its side. Press this button to manually turn the connected device on or off.
