Seeing another deal on an Alexa enabled plug - $12 with code 7FRQNW4M. This is one is a little different in that it includes energy monitoring/tracking.
Which leads to my public service announcement for the day...
I've been snagging all these Alexa enabled devices and one thing they seem to have in common is that they only use 2.4 GHz. This is the crappy, crowded, interference ridden, only 3 non-overlapping channels band. That's bad, but workable (generally the range is better), so not the end of the world. But, as a general rule, make sure all your important devices (Smart TV, streaming devices, laptops, etc.) are using 5 GHz.
Deal via Kinja Deals.

Noisy LEDs
LEDs are becoming nosier. I blame the Swedes.

Interference and Airbags
Bad - Radios pick up interference from a GPS and gets noisy.
Worse - Airbag picks up interference from a mobile phone and is disabled.
