Those of you who have a #SmartHome, what are your use-cases for smart plugs?
Most of my electrical things aren't just on/off.
I've got a light, a fan, and an electric blanket which can be controlled from the plug.
Other things (like TV, kettle, etc) need interaction after the power is turned on.
Have you found any good uses for #IoT plugs?
(Not interested in rants about security & privacy, thanks.)
@Edent - The only good 🔌 smart plug use-case for me has been 💡 lighting.
Only have 🛋 lamps and light sets attached but have set up various 🔀 routines and groups for different situations.
Aside from lighting, can't think of any other devices I've had connected to any smart plugs. 🤔
Found them *really* good for 🎄 Christmas lights - Alexa skill routines can include seasonal sound effects and speech. 😁
@Edent - Have also set all my 🔌 smart plug routines to confirm/reply with;
“Compliance”
To live out my 🚀 #FlightOfTheNavigator fantasies. 😉
