Thanks - that worked for my lamp. From this video I determined TWO routines are needed to turn on - and then off - a lamp.After the "on" time was done, I went to the Smart Plug (under Plugs) and I saw that it was switched "on". Since I'm 700 miles from my house, I'm going to assume for another few days that it is, indeed, going on and off.
Smart plug, you have to create two routines!!! One it's a monomer for the plug! How about writing a program that has a start/stop time, it's not that ******hard!!!!
I thought I was doing everything wrong trying to connect my plug to my lamp. No where did I ever read that the lamp needed to be in the ON position. Thank you for simplifying this setup!!
No kidding!! The instruction booklet reads: "before plugging equipment into smart plug, make sure the equipment is turned off" Common sense tells most people to keep it in on position. But with todays tech, common sense doesnt always apply. What the literal fxck?!
Thank you. We have been living under a rock in Bavaria the past 6 years. Back in the States and I'm just mindblown at what all of this Echo technology-- smart plugs-- even light bulbs!
all of these are the same things that you could find in Bavaria years ago too... amazon and smart devices are not new and domotic hasnt born yesterday.
Thank you for the straight forward information. I had an Eco dot and 2 smart plugs that worked great then I got the bigger Eco 2nd generation and now my plugs are useless. I don't have the box they came in so no barcode and when I press the button on the plug until it flashes and scan on the alexa app it just keeps saying "No devices found" I've been trying to connect these for about 6 hours on and off to no avail I'm not that good with technology as I'm in my late 50s so I've only been embracing tech for a couple of years but I'm disabled and these plugs are such a help to me as I live alone. I would be very grateful if you could recommend something I can try? Thank you Dave
Thank you. I found the video very helpful. However, I wish to control a light for my fish tank. Switch on at 7am and turn off at 9pm, even if I am not here. Is there a routine that I can set up to do that?
The device is basic, you can not set on the plug for specific timing. For example, I have a routine that turns on the iBlockCube Plug for 5 minutes when the sensor is triggered. in this Amazon Plug you can not do that using plug timing. I hope I am wrong :)
Good video. But the problem I have is my plug when I was setting it up I mistakenly set it to turn off after sunrise instead of sunset and I’ve tried everything to edit it and nothing works. I can edit the name of the plug but no edit option to change from sunrise to sunset. It’s so annoying.
How do I set up my smart plug to turn on the heater in my home office which is on the same broadband but the office WIFI is via a wireless access point that has a different name/PW? The echo is in the main house. Thanks v much, Tony
Great video but my problem is that the smart plug turns on my item but then my item shuts itself off immediately while the smart plug is still showing on
I’ve tried adding my amazon plug but it’s saying provisioning failure so I’ve tried taking device out and trying again but still saying the same any ideas please
His states in the video that is supposed to put both lights on on the splitter cable that goes to one plug It turns on my aquarium filter but will not turn on my aquarium light but shows that it's on
I added a an amazon plug to turn on om lamp. I can turn it on uses my phone but not by voice command. When I ask Alexa she says" Living room doesn't support that". How do I fix this? Thanks
The smart plug has 3 prongs (3rd is a ground lug). If your extension cord has 3 holes then yes. Most common extension cords only have two holes per outlet.
Hi there could you please tell me why when I ask alexa to turn on first plug I can hear a click from my electric fire but it doesn't light up unfortunately as in just the light from the fire to make it look like the flames are on hope you get what i mean cheers
When you use alexa smart plug with an automatic kettle how does it turn off? Do I do it on my phone? If so how do I know when it’s boiled? Sorry, new to all this!
how st set smart plug to turn on and off at different times. How do you make sure the routine you think you have set up really works without waiting a full day. Thanks
you need to set up a 'routine' to turn the lamp one, and another routine to turn it off. Watch the last few minutes of this video and he shows you how to set up a routine. good luck!

thank YOU! That it very obtuse to have to set up two routines...no one mentioned that... My other smart plugs are a bit smarter it seems.

Great video! Simple and clear explanation :)
Can a smart plug be used to turn a lamp on & then off at certain time?
I thought I was doing everything wrong trying to connect my plug to my lamp. No where did I ever read that the lamp needed to be in the ON position. Thank you for simplifying this setup!!
Seriously, so frustrating!

Can you set up an on and off routine ?? Ive my lamps set to come on but while im away id like them off again
i think you need to set up a different routine to turn the lamp off. One routine for on. Another for off.
@The Dogs Doo you need to name them as two different and separate routines. Lamp on. Lamp off.
