How to choose
Matter versus no-hub plugs
Matter plugs work across Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings from one system: the Linkind and the Tapo. The Kasa, EIGHTREE and GHome need no hub at all. The Linkind needs a Matter hub for the main platforms, with the AiDot app as the no-hub option. Pick Matter for one system across brands, or no-hub plugs for a direct setup.
Voice, apps and timers
All five work with Alexa and Google voice control and run on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only, so check your network band before ordering. Each plug offers app control from anywhere plus timer schedules for lamps. The EIGHTREE and GHome add group control, and the Linkind and Tapo add Matter LAN control.
Size, packs and warranties
The Kasa comes as a 2-pack, the Tapo as a 3-pack and the EIGHTREE and Linkind as 4-packs, so match the pack to the outlets you want to fill. The EIGHTREE measures 1.2 inches thick for narrow spaces, and the Kasa and Tapo use compact mini designs. The Kasa and Tapo carry 2-year warranties.
