Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug Mini by TP-Link (2-pack) — $10 off

The first of two otherwise identical smart plug deals, the Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug Mini 2-pack supports up to 15 amps of power to devices. The Mini’s small size won’t interfere with the second plug in a standard wall outlet – you can even plug two Minis into the same mini two-plug wall outlet.

The Lite Mini plugs should be fine for most lamps, fans, and small appliances.

Instead of the usual $35 price, Kasa cut the Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug Lite Mini 2-pack to $27 during this sale. If you want high-quality smart plugs for lighter duty electrical and electronic devices, this is a good opportunity to save money.

How do smart lights work?
Wyze Bulb Color Wyze app.

Smart lights: We've seen plenty of ways they can improve your home. But how do they work? Exactly how they do what they do is still a mystery to some. Luckily we're here to demystify the arcane.
How do LEDs work?
Light-emitting diodes are front and center for many of our digital experiences. Every modern phone and tablet you look at uses LEDs in its display. It's worth knowing how these work.

In short, LEDs transfer electricity through a semiconductor. To dig into that, we need to define semiconductors. They are a class of materials (typically metals) with conductivity that falls somewhere between conductors, like copper, and insulators, like glass. The semiconductors used in LEDs can relax excited electrons moving from negatively-charged cathode to positively-charged anode by shedding photons and very little heat. Traditional incandescent bulbs waste a lot of power on heat emission, while LEDs only need about 10% electricity to generate the same amount of light.
Color vs. white
Smart light bulbs are available in either a full spectrum of colors, or as a traditional dimmable white. Some white bulbs have the flexibility to go between warm and cool tones.

Guide to smart light switches
switchmate magnetically attaches to make light switches smart switch

Replacing every light in the house with a smart bulb can get pricey quickly. One easy way to add intelligence to a room's lights is with a smart light switch. Once installed, you'll be able to remotely control your lights, automate activation, or use voice assistants from Google, Apple, and Amazon as if you had full-blown smart lights. Here's how it all works.
What does a smart light switch do?

A smart light switch replaces an existing light switch. When you link it to your home's wireless network you can flip that switch off and on remotely or via voice assistants. Your light bulbs don't need to be smart lights, they just need to be the lights connected to that switch.

The best Google Home smart plugs
The Eufy Smart Plug Mini connected to a kitchen outlet.

There are more devices that are smart these days than those that don't have an Internet of Things (IoT) designation. From heavy-duty appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers to smaller items like thermostats and door locks, these web-connected gadgets will often connect to your Wi-Fi without the need of a hub. They are designed to have companion mobile apps that let you manage and customize your equipment. But what about all the electronic appliances you have that aren't smart? That's where a smart plug comes in handy.

As the name suggests, smart plugs connect directly to an existing electrical outlet in your home, allowing you to automate whatever powered hardware you line into the plug. Ideal for "smartening up" gear like coffee makers, slow cookers, desk lamps, fans, and dehumidifiers, many of the best smart plugs have apps that allow you to create custom schedules to power on/off devices and energy-monitoring features for keeping tabs on your home's electricity consumption.
