Smart outlets connect to Alexa, Google Home, and other smart-home systems either by Wi-Fi (most common), by Bluetooth, or via a hub using Zigbee, Z-Wave, or Matter. Once paired, you can control them with voice commands, schedules, scenes, and automations across your entire home.
Connection paths
- Wi-Fi — Direct to router, no hub needed
- Bluetooth — Short-range, phone-direct
- Zigbee or Z-Wave — Through a hub (SmartThings, Hue Bridge, etc.)
- Matter — New universal standard, works with Apple, Google, Amazon
We help you choose the right protocol for your home and existing devices through smart outlet and smart home installation services.
