Some of the best Prime Day deals this year are on smart plugs, which are an affordable and simple way to start your smart home journey. They connect to existing power outlets in your home and ensure you can switch any appliances connected to it on and off, even when you’re not at home.
To me, however, a smart plug is more than just a way to automate my home – I’ve been using the TP-Link Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip KP303 in my bedroom for some time and it’s helped end my worry over forgetting to turn my hair straighteners off before I leave the house. No matter where I am, I can use the Kasa app on my smartphone to switch the smart plug off It’s currently in the Prime Day sale and can be picked up for its lowest price ever – $23.99 from $29.99 at Amazon.
For those of you outside of the US, scroll down to the end of the article where you’ll be able to see the best prices for TP-Link smart plugs in your region.

Amazon has knocked £8 off the cost of this smart powerstrip in the UK, taking it down to its lowest price ever.

It also integrates with Alexa and Google Assistant so you can use your voice to control the sockets. View Deal
For many of us, not being able to remember if we locked the door, closed the windows, or set the alarm after we’ve left the house is a regular occurrence. It’s not just because we’ weren’t concentrating either – according to a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin the human brain can blur intention and action, particularly if it’s a mundane task we do regularly, leaving us unable to actually remember performing the action.
With me, it was leaving my hair straighteners plugged in before leaving the house. In a pre-pandemic world, I would style my hair every day before work – but by the time I arrived at the train station – a 20-minute walk away, I was usually unable to recall whether I’d turned them off or not. One day, the anxiety over whether I was going to cause a house fire by leaving the straighteners on was so intense, that I had to ask a retired family member to check for me.
However, using a smart plug with my straighteners has ensured I can check my smartphone at any point to see whether I remembered to turn my straighteners off, and if not, correct it immediately. The reason I prefer TP-Link Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip KP303 over a singular smart plug is that it also ensures I can have the same peace of mind with a curling iron and other electrical appliances in my bedroom.
