Smart plugs aren’t that smart, they just turn on and off on command or to a schedule. You can use them to turn lamps on and off, beyond that I can’t see much use for them. Anything else you might attach to one probably needs further manual user input before it does anything useful, eg a coffee maker.

If you’re using Amazon Music from Prime rather than taking out the unlimited music sub, you can only run it on one device at a time.
