The AZIOT 16A smart plug is the budget heavy-appliance pick: it switches ACs, geysers and pumps that would cook a 10A plug, works with Alexa and Google, and keeps its schedules running through broadband outages.
Overview
The AmazonBasics Smart Plug was designed for one purpose to be the simplest possible Alexa smart plug. Setup is genuinely instant screw it into the socket ask Alexa to discover devices and it appears. No app downloads no account creation no WiFi configuration. The Alexa app handles scheduling and remote control and you can incorporate the plug into Alexa routines for more complex automations. The compact size means it does not block adjacent sockets. The catch is that it works exclusively with Alexa there is no Google Assistant support whatsoever. And at 10 amps it cannot handle heavy appliances like geysers or ACs so it is limited to lamps fans and smaller electronics. The bigger concern is availability Amazon has discontinued this product so you are relying on third-party sellers with varying prices and stock levels. If you can find it cheap and only need Alexa control for lights it works perfectly but the discontinuation makes it a risky long-term buy.
Key Features
- Simple Alexa voice control with automatic device discovery no app downloads needed

FAQs
Is the AZIOT 16A plug as good as the Tapo P110?
It does the same job — 16A heavy-appliance switching — usually for less money, and it works with Alexa and Google. The differences are polish: Tapo's app is smoother and its energy monitoring is more accurate. AZIOT is the value pick for 'I just want the AC to switch off at 3am'; Tapo is the pick if you want the energy numbers and the better app.
Can I put the AZIOT plug behind a 1.5-ton AC?
Yes, within its 16A limit — which covers a 1.5-ton unit comfortably. The rules for any smart plug on an AC: check the AC's rated current on its sticker, make sure the wall socket itself is a proper 16A heavy-duty socket, and don't daisy-chain it through an extension board. The plug is only as good as the socket it sits in.
Does the AZIOT plug need Wi-Fi to keep its schedules?
The schedules live on the plug, so timers keep running through a broadband outage. You need the app and network only to change them or control it remotely. Setup needs a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi band — most Indian dual-band routers have it on by default; if yours is mesh or guest-network-heavy, check that first.
