Is the Amazon Smart Plug compatible with SmartThings? I’m trying to connect it to my SmartThings hub, and the app doesn’t seem to see it. There is no “Amazon Smart Plug” option listed under Outlets. My Echo finds it and controls it just fine. I’m using the latest SmartThings app and the v2 hub.

It’s a Wi-Fi plug— there is no direct integration with SmartThings.
What you could do is create a virtual contact sensor with switch capabilities and then use that to turn the Amazon plug on and off via an Amazon routine. It’s a little kludgy, but it should work.
See the following FAQ (this is a clickable link)
Breaking News!!! As of August 2018, a SmartThings-connected Contact or Motion Sensor can now trigger an Amazon echo routine if you live in the US, Canada, or the UK !!!
Amazon has now added the ability for some sensors to trigger an Amazon echo routine (not a smartthings routine), which does let you trigger other smart home devices which are not connected to SmartThings without having to speak an echo command! Or you can set it up so that your echo devices will speak a customized phrase, play a doorbell chime, or various other sound effects.
And even better, that contact sensor can be a virtual contact sensor. And although it’s a bit tricky, a community member has created an edge driver that will create BOTH a virtual switch and a virtual sensor and keep the pair in synch. So…

Hopefully, someone will create a device config soon…
I just wanted to bump this thread and see if anyone has created a DTH for the amazon plugs yet.
There is currently a sale on them for 4.99 that ends on the 31st 2018
Thanks in advance!
My post number two above is still current. You can integrate them, but you have to use an Amazon routine as a “man in the middle.” No DTH yet.
