- First I tried the Phillips Hue lightbulb. It came free with my Echo Show. That's an easy setup, and because I have an Echo Show, there's no other hardware needed.
- Then I tried a smartplug Amazon Smart Plug, works with Alexa Sold by: Amazon Digital Services, Inc. which was 24.99. The setup was simple.
- Then I tried a Wemo Mini Smart Plug, WiFi Enabled, Works with Alexa, Google Assistant & Apple HomeKit which I got from Amazon for an astounding ten dollars with a promo code. The setup was confusing.
Update: I found slightly better instructions for
Wemo.
