Which Smart Plugs Work With Google?
It’s also easier to find smart plugs that work outdoors if you’re willing to use the Google voice assistant instead of Alexa.
For best results, double-check that you’ve enabled Bluetooth and location services for the Alexa app on your smartphone. Plug in the device, open the Alexa app, and select Devices > Plus symbol (+) > Add Device > Plug. Once you locate the plug, the app will guide you through the pairing and setup steps. Once it’s configured, you can add it to a smart home group in the Alexa app.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for activating your smart plug model and getting it on your Wi-Fi network. Open the Google Home app on your smartphone and select the Plus sign (+) from the upper-left part of the screen. Next, tap Set up device > Works with Google > choose the product from the list > and follow the in-app instructions for assigning it to a home and room. You can then add it to new or existing Google Home routines.
