Smart home tech is big business nowadays, as it should be. It can automate menial tasks and make a home more livable. Smart plugs can be a big help in that regard. I have about 10 of them in my home to automatically turn lights on and off, automate holiday decorations to come on at dusk and off after I go to bed, and even do some fancy things, like coordinating them to work with a motion sensor so lights turn on when you enter dark areas (like spooky basement storage).
Here is a deal on some great smart plugs that work directly with your smart speaker (alexa or google home) or your smart phone to allow you to turn things off and on in your home with just your voice, or any where in the world using an app on your phone.
