Do I need a hub to use these plugs?

Yes for Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings: each needs a compatible hub or Matter controller. A phone with the app alone won't set them up.

Will they work during an internet outage?

Matter-certified local control over your LAN keeps working when the internet is down, as long as your hub and Wi-Fi are still up. Remote control from outside the home needs the internet.

Can I use them on a 5GHz network?

No. They connect on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only, so your router must broadcast a 2.4GHz band during setup.

What can I plug into them?

Anything up to 15A/1800W: lamps, fans, coffee makers, space heaters and similar electronics. Check the appliance's wattage before plugging in a heater.

Do they track energy use?

No. They switch power and run schedules and timers, but they don't report how much electricity a device uses.

Two white smart plugs. No hub is included.

Our take on the Matter Smart Plug 2 Pack

This is a two-pack of Matter-certified Wi-Fi smart plugs rated for 15A/1800W, enough for lamps, fans, space heaters and most small appliances. They connect over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and work with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings, with voice control through Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant. Matter support means local control keeps working on your LAN when the internet is down, which cheaper Wi-Fi-only plugs often can't do. The trade-offs are the 2.4GHz-only radio and the need for a hub or Matter controller for each ecosystem.
