How to choose
Outlets and individual control
Outlet count and control differ across this list. The BN-LINK runs three grounded outlets at once, but they are not controlled individually. The Wyze gives dual outlets, while the Amazon Basics and the Tapo give two outlets each controlled individually. The HBN gives a single grounded outlet. Match the outlet count and the control style to the devices you plan to plug in, since a plug that switches everything at once suits lights on one schedule better than mixed devices.
Voice platforms and Wi-Fi
Every pick here works with Alexa, but platform support beyond Alexa differs. The BN-LINK, Wyze and HBN work with Alexa and Google Assistant, and the Tapo adds Matter with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings. The Amazon Basics works with Alexa only, so check your platform before choosing. Every pick here states 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, so check your network band before choosing.
Weather ratings and placement
Weather ratings run IP44 for the BN-LINK and HBN, IP64 for the Wyze, and IP65 for the Amazon Basics and the Tapo. The IP65 pair names protection against low pressure water jets, condensation and spray or against rain, snow and dust, while the IP44 pair names standing up to rain and snow or harsh weather. Place the HBN at least 2 feet off the ground with the plug pointing straight down, and mount the Tapo with its screw and stabilizing post for a firm hold.
