Your portal for all Smart Life App information
Transform any „dumb“ appliance into a smart one with the right plug. All recommendations on this page are 100% compatible with the Smart Life app, allowing you to set schedules, monitor energy usage, and use voice commands via Alexa or Google Home.
Before you scroll to the products, keep these three things in mind for 2026:
Energy Monitoring: Look for plugs labeled „Energy Monitoring“ if you want to track your electricity costs in real-time within the Smart Life app.
Matter Support: If you want future-proof devices that work across Apple Home and Smart Life simultaneously, choose a Matter-certified plug.
Space Savings: If you have tight wall outlets, choose „Mini“ or „Slim“ designs so you don’t block the second socket.
Only if the AC is under the plug’s rated wattage (usually 1800W / 15A). Check your AC’s label first!
Most Smart Life plugs require a 2.4GHz connection, but many 2026 models now support Dual-Band (2.4/5GHz).
This is the most common question for new users! Both apps are developed by the same company (Tuya Inc.) and are virtually identical in features and device compatibility.
Smart Life: Branded as the „universal“ consumer version. It’s the most popular choice for general users.
Tuya Smart: Originally designed for manufacturers and developers, but works exactly the same for home users.
Which should you choose? We recommend Smart Life for most users because it tends to receive updates and third-party integrations (like IFTTT) slightly faster. You do not need both; pick one and stay with it!
