And one of the bargains is TP-Link’s Smart Plug. This gadget plugs into any mains socket and uses Wi-Fi to connect to your router – and the internet. Normally the TP-Link WiFi Smart Plug costs £29.99. But on Prime Day 2018 it is reduces to £17.49, a discount of 40%. With the Kasa app installed on your phone, you can turn the switch on and off from anywhere. This has many uses. You can check if you left the iron on or turn on the kettle from your sofa. Maybe you have an electric blanket: you can use the Smart Plug to turn it on 10 minutes before you retire for the night.
The Kasa app also lets you schedule on and off times, so the plug can work like a traditional timer. But the Away mode is smarter and turns the plug on and off at different times to give the appearance someone is home. Remember that to get the deal price you must be a Prime member.
