SmartThings Outlet
|
Picture it. You're cozy in bed, reading a book with your cat curled on top of you. Your eyes grow heavy, it's time to turn the lights off and go to sleep. Except, if you turn over to flip the light switch you'll disturb your sleeping kitty. That can't happen! Now picture your bedside lamp plugged into a smart outlet operated through Alexa or Google Assistant. All you have to do is say, "Hey Alexa, turn the light off," and fade into sweet dreams with your kitty in place. How did we ever survive before technology?
