Read on to learn more about the two devices and how they stack up against one another.
Wyze Smart Plug Features
The Wyze Smart Plug routinely finds itself in the stratosphere where reviews are concerned and for good reason. Understandably, companies can’t cram too many software features into a plug, but Wyze definitely got away with a few.
- Compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, and IFTTT – Wyze Smart Plugs are more compelling to a larger consumer base because it’s compatible with more virtual assistants. Although it won’t work with Homekit, the fact that it is compatible with IFTTT means that it can work with Homekit in a series of programmed workarounds.Scheduling – Scheduling is a nice feature that lets you schedule when the smart plug is active and when it is not. If you want to turn your coffee pot on at 6:00 am, the smart plug will activate, and your coffee will be ready to brew.Vacation mode – Vacation mode is probably the one feature that’s most attractive about the Wyze Smart Plug. When you turn vacation mode on, the plugs will activate at random times throughout a 24-hour day, turning on lights and devices as if someone is home when you’re not.Wyze Sense – Wyze Sense is similar in function but only turns on when you enter the room and off after the room has been empty for a while.Grouping – Grouping allows you to connect all of your Wyze Smart Plugs into a single “room” group for easy control.
Conclusion
However, these smart plugs are identical in terms of functionality, including most of their features, with the IFTTT commands and set up with the Wyze giving it an edge in features. Regardless of which one you choose and for what reason, you’ll definitely be satisfied with the result.
