How to choose
Built-in light versus lamp control
A built-in light and lamp control are different things on this list. The Tapo extender has a smart night light, and the Amazon Basics plug has a motion-activated night light, so both glow on their own. The Feit plug switches lamps and appliances on and off from the app or by voice, so the light comes from the lamps it controls. The myTouchSmart timer switches indoor lamps on a schedule, with blue LED indicators showing active programs. Decide whether you want the plug itself to glow or the lamps it controls to switch.
Count outlets, USB ports and controls
One outlet suits one lamp or appliance, while the Amazon Basics plug gives two individually controlled outlets and the Tapo extender gives 3 smart outlets plus 3 always-on outlets. USB charging sits only on the Tapo extender, with 3 USB ports and 18W fast charging. Voice control runs through Alexa and Google Home on the Feit plug and the Tapo extender, through Alexa only on the Amazon Basics plug, and the myTouchSmart timer uses buttons and a screen for its 8 custom on/off times.
Check Wi-Fi, hubs and placement
The Feit plug and the Amazon Basics plug both use 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, and the Feit plug states no hub is required while the Amazon Basics plug needs no hub or third-party app. The Tapo extender fastens to a wall outlet with a mounting screw and stabilizing post, and its outlets sit 1.57 inches apart for larger plugs. The myTouchSmart timer is for indoor use, with 2 grounded outlets and battery backup for its settings. Check your router band and outlet spacing before choosing.
