Has anyone tried to get these ([https://www.lowes.com/pd/Iris-120-Volt-White-Smart-Plug-Works-with-Alexa/1000135207](https://www.lowes.com/pd/Iris-120-Volt-White-Smart-Plug-Works-with-Alexa/1000135207)) working with Smartthings yet? They are currently $14.99 though it’s likely a limited time offer, they apparently work with Amazon Alexa, though no mention of IFTTT. ---

I just ordered these: [https://www.lowes.com/pd/Iris-120-Volt-White-Smart-Plug/999925330](https://www.lowes.com/pd/Iris-120-Volt-White-Smart-Plug/999925330) And got them for $14 with free shipping. They work well with SmartThings, using the following Device Handler, and Google Home. So I would imagine they would work well with Alexa. > [@\[OBSOLETE\] Iris Smart Plug (3210-L) Zigbee Plug with Z-wave Repeater](https://community.smartthings.com/t/release-iris-smart-plug-3210-l-zigbee-plug-with-z-wave-repeater/31028): > > The Iris Smart Plug is a rebranded Centralite on/off plug which looks remarkably similar to the SmartThings SmartPower Outlet.

They are currently $14.99 though it’s likely a limited time offer, they apparently work with Amazon Alexa, though no mention of IFTTT. Those look like strictly WiFi smart plugs that won’t directly work with SmartThings unless there is a way to connect them via cloud to cloud integration. When I checked the price, it was $39.95 so depending on location, YMMV. ---

This has to be the best price I’ve ever seen on these. These are a much more affordable alternative to the SmartThings SmartPower outlet and is fully compatible. These are going for just $23.30 until 12/5!! [https://www.lowes.com/pd/Iris-120-Volt-White-Smart-Plug/999925330](https://www.lowes.com/pd/Iris-120-Volt-White-Smart-Plug/999925330) ---

Hannibal, MO Lowes, plus a couple others using the Price Checker. Even cheaper in Chicago. I think they stopped shipping now, however. YMMV. ---

There are two different ones: These are still $14.99 as of now (free shipping) and are WiFi, no hub required: [https://www.lowes.com/pd/Iris-120-Volt-White-Smart-Plug-Works-with-Alexa/1000135207](https://www.lowes.com/pd/Iris-120-Volt-White-Smart-Plug-Works-with-Alexa/1000135207) These are $23.30 and are ZigBee and indeed work with the device handler mentioned: [https://www.lowes.com/pd/Iris-120-Volt-White-Smart-Plug/999925330](https://www.lowes.com/pd/Iris-120-Volt-White-Smart-Plug/999925330) I’ve had the ZigBee one for a while and can confirm it works, they also have a built-in Z-Wave repeater, though I couldn’t say if it makes a difference (small apartment). My question was regarding the WiFi one, has anyone written a device handler for those. I did order one, so I’ll report back once I get it and dig into it more. ---

I picked up one of these today as well. It was 14.99 when I bought a christmas tree, think I’ll be returning it as it looks like it only works over wifi. ---

It might be nice to keep around to use on your hub so that you can reboot it remotely if necessary. ---

Yes, but that doesn’t always work. With a plug, it’s a hard reboot (on a v2 hub you also have to remove the batteries) which is sometimes required if something is hung up and you can’t reach the hub through the IDE. ---

I yanked the batteries out of mine and power the hub via UPS with a WiFi switch in between the two. ---

I already have an Iris Wi-Fi Smart Plug and until recently had the majority of my devices talking to my Iris Hub. And before I learned of the beauty of the user community here in SmartThings, I was looking for ways to automate my Iris system. I came across the [Iris+](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eightydegreeswest.irisplus&hl=en) mobile app. It is not a Lowe’s product, but like products from this community, made by a 3rd party. It allows for integration of Iris scenes and the IFTTT [Notifications](https://ifttt.com/if_notifications) service. When I saw @hires06’s post on this, an idea struck me. It may not be pretty, but sometimes clunky solutions give birth to better ones. Since I already can control my Iris devices via IFTTT thanks to the Iris+ mobile app, I can make a Virtual Switch and utilize IFTTT to trigger my Iris WiFi Smart Plug if the Virtual Switch status changes. So I made 2 IFTTT recipes. 1 for VirtualSwitch on, trigger a Plug on scene and 1 for VirtualSwitch off triggering a Plug off scene. The net result is an Iris WiFi Smart Plug that is controlled via SmartThings. Yes, it requires the Iris app and the Iris+ app (but not the Hub. It works without it), but I already had it. And now I have my remaining straggler talking to my SmartThings. ---

does this Iris+ app work without the hub like the regular iris app does? ---

And the results are in. I have my Iris Hub unplugged, all devices moved off Iris except the Wi-Fi switch. And I can I can still tell Alexa to turn my switch on, IFTTT takes over and send the command to Iris+ and tada, switch is on! No hub needed! ---
