Ring Smart Plug — Indoor Wi‑Fi/Sidewalk Smart Outlet

The Ring Smart Plug lets you turn lights and appliances on or off, set schedules and routines, and trigger devices from Ring cameras or a doorbell without needing a separate base station.

Compact and designed for indoor sockets, the Ring Smart Plug connects over Amazon Sidewalk (service required and coverage may vary) so you can control lamps, fans, holiday lights and other plug-in devices from the Ring app, an Alexa-enabled device, or a compatible smart remote. Because it integrates with Ring motion alerts and doorbell events, you can automate lighting to respond to activity around your home for convenience and added presence.

How do I control my devices with the Ring Smart Plug?

You can control the smart plug from anywhere using the Ring mobile app or by voice with Alexa. After pairing, devices respond to manual commands, scheduled routines, or triggers from other Ring devices in your account.

• Use the Ring app to turn power on/off remotely.
• Ask Alexa to control the plug with simple voice commands.
• Include the plug in app routines and group controls for multi-device scenes.

Can the plug activate automatically from motion or doorbell events?

Yes — when linked with Ring cameras or a Ring Video Doorbell, the smart plug can switch on lights or appliances automatically when motion is detected or someone rings the doorbell. This enables hands-free lighting tied to real-time activity around your home.

• Pair with Ring cameras to trigger lights when motion is detected.
• Set the plug to respond when your doorbell detects visitors.
• Fine-tune triggers in the app so only the devices you want are activated.

What scheduling and routines can I create with the Ring Smart Plug?

Create custom schedules to match your daily rhythm — from timed wake-up lights to evening appliance cutoffs. Routines stack actions so a single schedule can control multiple plugs and Ring devices for consistent automation.

• Build daily or repeating schedules for lights and small appliances.
• Combine with motion-based rules for arrival/departure automation.
• Use routines to activate several devices with one command or event.

Do I need a base station or extra hub to use it?

No separate base station is required; the Ring Smart Plug connects using Amazon Sidewalk for expanded coverage. Keep in mind Amazon Sidewalk must be enabled and available in your area, and the plug is intended for indoor use only.

• Works without a Ring base station or Zigbee hub.
• Relies on Amazon Sidewalk for wide-area connectivity (service required).
• Designed for standard indoor outlets; not for outdoor or wet locations.

Who is this for: The Ring Smart Plug is ideal for homeowners, renters and apartment dwellers who want simple, app-based control of lamps, fans and small appliances without adding a hub. It suits people who already use Ring devices and Alexa, or anyone who wants motion- or doorbell-triggered lighting and flexible schedules for everyday convenience and enhanced home presence.
