The Brookstone Smart Plug is a Wi-Fi remote-controlled device designed to integrate seamlessly into your smart home ecosystem, offering convenient control over your electrical appliances. This smart plug allows you to manage connected devices from anywhere using its dedicated app, providing a modern solution for home automation and energy management.
One of the primary functions of the Brookstone Smart Plug is to enable remote control of any appliance plugged into it. Whether you're at home or away, you can turn devices on or off with a simple tap on your smartphone. This feature is particularly useful for managing lights, fans, coffee makers, or other electronics, enhancing both convenience and security. For instance, you can turn on lights before arriving home, making your house appear occupied, or switch off forgotten appliances to save energy.
Beyond basic remote control, the smart plug offers programmable scheduling capabilities. This means you can set specific times for your devices to turn on or off automatically. For example, you can schedule your bedroom lamp to turn on at sunset and off at bedtime, or have your coffee machine start brewing just before you wake up. This automation helps streamline daily routines and can contribute to energy savings by ensuring devices are only active when needed. The flexibility of scheduling allows for daily, weekly, or custom routines, adapting to your lifestyle.
The Brookstone Smart Plug also supports app and voice control, making it highly versatile and user-friendly. Through the "Brookstone Smart" app, available on both Google Play for Android devices and the App Store for iPhones, you can easily manage all connected smart plugs. The app provides an intuitive interface for adding devices, setting schedules, and monitoring their status. For an even more hands-free experience, the smart plug is compatible with popular voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Hey Google. This integration allows you to control your devices using simple voice commands, such as "Alexa, turn on the living room light" or "Hey Google, turn off the fan." This voice control capability adds a layer of convenience, especially when your hands are full or you're in another room.
Setting up the Brookstone Smart Plug is a straightforward process. After plugging the device into an electrical socket, you hold down the on/off button until the indicator light blinks rapidly, signaling it's ready for pairing. The next step involves connecting your smartphone to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, which is essential for the smart plug's operation. Within the "Brookstone Smart" app, you'll press the "+" symbol to add a new device and select the Smart Plug from the list. The app guides you through confirming the blinking indicator light and entering your Wi-Fi password to establish the connection. Once connected, you can assign a custom name to your smart plug, making it easy to identify and control within the app and via voice commands.
The app also offers features for managing notifications. You can enable or disable push notifications for all connected devices, allowing you to stay informed about their status or activities. This can be customized through the "Me" section and "Settings" within the app, giving you control over the alerts you receive.
For maintenance and device management, the app provides options to remove devices. If you need to disconnect a smart plug from your system, you can easily do so from the home screen by selecting the device, tapping the edit symbol, and then choosing the "Remove Device" option. This ensures that you have full control over your smart home setup and can adapt it as your needs change.
Integrating the Brookstone Smart Plug with Amazon Alexa involves a few steps within the Alexa app. First, you search for and enable the "Brookstone Smart" skill. Then, you link your Brookstone Smart account to Alexa by entering your login credentials. After successful linking, Alexa will discover your smart plug, and you can begin controlling it with voice commands. It's important to note that the device name you assign in the Brookstone Smart app will be the name you use for voice commands with Alexa. If devices don't automatically appear, Alexa can be prompted to discover them.
Similarly, connecting the smart plug to Google Assistant requires pairing the device with the Brookstone Smart app and giving it a recognizable name. Then, within the Google Home app, you'll add a new device, select "Works with Google," and search for "Brookstone Smart." After linking your Brookstone Smart account, you can choose which devices to add to your Google Home setup and assign them to specific rooms. Once linked, you can control the smart plug through the Google Home app or via a Google Assistant-enabled speaker using voice commands like "Hey Google, turn on Smart Plug" or "Hey Google, turn off Living Room."
The Brookstone Smart Plug is designed for ease of use and offers a robust set of features for enhancing your smart home experience. Its remote control, scheduling, and voice control capabilities provide flexibility and convenience, making it a valuable addition to any connected household.
