SwitchBot Plug Mini review

The SwitchBot Plug Mini takes first place because it pairs the lowest single-plug price we verified with a feature most budget plugs skip. At $11.99 on SwitchBot's US store, it includes an energy chip that shows real-time and historical consumption in the SwitchBot app, and SwitchBot says the power data can be exported for record keeping. It connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with no hub, so a beginner can plug in a lamp, open the app and set a schedule in one sitting. Voice control covers Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri Shortcuts and SmartThings. SwitchBot lists V-0 flame-retardant materials and overload protection for high-wattage devices. The trade-offs are a 1-year warranty and the fact that native Apple Home support is sold as a separate HomeKit Enabled version on the same page. We compared documented features and published prices rather than testing the plug ourselves.
