You\u2019re better off using what you have because smart outdoor lighting tends to be expensive.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, buy smart plugs. These can make any \u201cdumb\u201d gadget smart. Smart plugs run off a simple principle. When you turn a smart plug off, it cuts power to whatever you connected it to\u2014much like a light switch. Turn it on to restore power. That\u2019s perfect for holiday lights, as you typically control them by cutting their power (either by unplugging them or throwing a switch). Smart plugs are easy to set up, too: Just plug one into a wall outlet and plug your lights into it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/62420\/everything-you-need-to-automate-your-christmas-decorations\/\"><strong><em>Everything You Need to Automate Your Christmas Decorations<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The type of smart plug you need depends on where you\u2019re putting it and what smart home tech you already have. But if you\u2019re new to smart homes, we recommend either\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Wyze-Labs-WLPP1-Smart-Two-Pack\/dp\/B07XZT24B8?tag=hotoge-20\">Wyze plugs<\/a>\u00a0or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/iClever-Christmas-Decoration-Compatible-Assistant\/dp\/B07CZB6D45\/?tag=hotoge-20\">iClever plugs<\/a> for your indoor plugs and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/iClever-IC-BS06-Christmas-Assistant-Wirecutters\/dp\/B078TW292H?tag=hotoge-20\">iClever<\/a> for your outdoor plugs. If you\u2019re only planning on scheduling indoor lights, we recommend Wyze as the best option. It\u2019s less expensive than iClever\u2019s indoor entry and the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a> is better. But if you\u2019re looking at scheduling indoor and outdoor, then we recommend using iClever for both. That way you only need to learn one app.<\/p>\n<p>Both are affordable, work well, and are compatible with Alexa and Google. That\u2019s essential if you are considering getting into smart homes and don\u2019t have a smart home hub. Smart home hubs act as the \u201cbrains\u201d of advanced smart homes, but thanks to Google Assistant and Alexa, they aren\u2019t all that necessary anymore. You won\u2019t need one for basic scheduling,<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scheduling_with_an_App\"><\/span>Scheduling with an App<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For simple scheduling, it\u2019s easiest to use the app from your smart plug\u2019s manufacturer. For example, assuming you have Wyze or iClever smart plugs, your first step is to download either the Wyze (for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/wyze\/id1288415553\">iOS<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.hualai&amp;hl=en_US\">Android<\/a>) or if using iClever the Smart Life app (for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/smart-life-smart-living\/id1115101477\">iOS<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.tuya.smartlife&amp;hl=en_US\">Android<\/a>) app. Insert a smart plug into your outlet and pair it with the app. You should do this one plug at a time.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, we\u2019d advise you to pick the names for the smart plugs carefully.\u00a0But, in this case, you\u2019re going to add them to a Christmas group.\u00a0You can name them \u201cChristmas 1,\u201d \u201cChristmas 2,\u201d and so on. You might want to name your tree lights differently. Naming them \u201cChristmas Tree\u201d will help if you ever want to turn just plug on separate from the rest of your lights. Once you have everything paired and setup, you\u2019ll connect your lights. Both apps have a grouping function, and it\u2019s worth grouping all your Christmas lights together so you can create one schedule to control them all.<\/p>\n<p>Your next step is to create a schedule. Wyze calls scheduling options \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.wyzecam.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360029779552-How-to-Use-Rules\">rules<\/a>\u201d while Smart Life calls them \u201cautomations.\u201d In either case, you\u2019ll open rules or automations, pick your plug group, choose whether to turn the plugs on or off, and pick a time to run the rule. That might look like \u201cturn on plugs at 6:30 P.M.\u201d, for instance. You\u2019ll want to create two schedules, one to turn on your lights and the other to turn them back off.<\/p>\n<p>You can even create a third or fourth rule to control specific lights. For example, you might want to turn on the tree lights earlier than the outdoor lights.\u00a0 You\u2019re all set with automated Christmas lights. But, if you\u2019d like to go beyond basic scheduling, you might consider adding an Echo Dot or Google Nest Mini to your home for additional options.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add_an_Echo_Dot_or_Google_Nest_Mini\"><\/span>Add an Echo Dot or Google Nest Mini<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_450424\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-450424 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/xEcho-and-Nest.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.qk8nwz-BGH.jpg\" alt=\"An Echo 3rd generation with blue light ring, next to a Google Nest Mini with white power cord.\" width=\"650\" height=\"300\" data-credittext=\"Amazon, Google\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Amazon, Google<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In addition to adding voice control to your home, smart speakers work with smart devices from more than one company and tie them all together. An <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07FZ8S74R?tag=hotoge-20\">Echo Dot<\/a> (with Alexa) or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/store.google.com\/us\/config\/google_nest_mini\">Nest Mini<\/a> (with Google Assistant) can give you a single app to control indoor plugs from Wyze, outdoor plugs from iClever, and even smart bulbs from another company. They essentially act as the brains of your smart home. Rather than creating one schedule in the Wyze app and another schedule in the Smart Life app, you can use Alexa or Google Assistant to create a single schedule that controls both sets of devices.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t invested in either ecosystem yet, we recommend the Echo Dot over the Nest Mini. That\u2019s mostly because Alexa\u2019s routines are more intuitive and more powerful than Google Assistant\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>But either will work. If you already own a smart speaker, don\u2019t feel the need to buy another unless you want to expand your voice control to other rooms.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Alexa_or_Google_Assitant_to_Create_a_Schedule\"><\/span>Using Alexa or Google Assitant to Create a Schedule<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-450471 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Wait2.jpg.pagespeed.ce.KsNxf2ybUU.jpg\" alt=\"The Alexa routine dialog with a Christmas on, wait 4 hours, Christmas off sequence.\" width=\"650\" height=\"400\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Alexa and Google Assistant\u2019s version of scheduling is called \u201croutines.\u201d Routines are, essentially, very basic if\/then programs. You set a trigger, the \u201cif\u201d for your Echo or Nest Mini to monitor. Then you create actions to occur (\u201cthen\u201d). A basic routine might say, \u201cif it\u2019s 7 PM, then turn on the Christmas group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignnone wp-image-450426 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/xGoogle-Routine.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.rWU9KW4cyT.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas lights routine in Google Assistant.\" width=\"650\" height=\"400\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Creating routines for both Alexa and Google Assistant isn\u2019t complicated, but the apps often change, and so do the steps for routines. Check the official documentation from\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/help\/customer\/display.html?nodeId=202200080&amp;tag=hotoge-20\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/googlenest\/answer\/7029585?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&amp;hl=en\">Google<\/a>\u00a0for the most up to date information. For Google Assistant, keep in mind when setting a schedule you\u2019re required to create a voice command too. We suggest something related like \u201cturn on Christmas\u201d so the routine can double as a convenience voice command.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Having_Fun_With_Alexas_Extra_Powers\"><\/span>Having Fun With Alexa\u2019s Extra Powers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_450472\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-450472 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/xEcho-Button.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.L2HUDjbGZl.jpg\" alt=\"A pair of gloved hands holding an Echo button glowing green over the snow.\" width=\"650\" height=\"300\" data-credittext=\"Josh Hendrickson\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Josh Hendrickson<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you chose an Echo device, you have a few useful options that Google doesn\u2019t provide. The first is the ability to throw a wait command into a routine. That\u2019s useful if you want to combine an \u201con\u201d and \u201coff\u201d routine into one. You can create a routine that turns the lights on just before you leave for work, waits ten minutes, and then turns them back off. You\u2019ll get a nice view as you leave home. In a similar fashion, you can create a routine that turns the lights on at 6 p.m., waits four hours, and shuts them off again.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignnone wp-image-450582 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Christmas-button2.gif.pagespeed.ce.Og-6ybff9B.gif\" alt=\"Using an Echo button to turn on a house's Christmas lights.\" width=\"650\" height=\"365\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The second involves a fun trick with Echo Buttons. You can pair Echo Buttons to an Echo device and incorporate them into your routines. That includes turning on or off (but not both) smart devices when you press the button, which is useful for something like a lockdown button. Or, with Christmas so near, you could make the Echo Button the \u201con button\u201d for your Christmas lights. It\u2019s a fun yet straightforward trick anyone can enjoy.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Forget_the_Music\"><\/span>Don\u2019t Forget the Music<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you use Google or Alexa to power your smart home, you can finish a routine off with music. You may not want to do that with your regularly scheduled routine\u2014after all, you might get sick of it after a while\u2014but it\u2019s worth considering for a dedicated routine you activate by voice command or Echo Button.<\/p>\n<p>And you have choices. You can play music on your indoor smart speaker, of course. But if you have an outdoor speaker, you could send the music there. Paired with an Echo Button to turn on your lights, you\u2019ve got a simple Christmas show everyone can enjoy.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking, \u201cwell, that\u2019s pretty simple,\u201d you\u2019re exactly right and that\u2019s the point. With smart hubs or a Raspberry Pi , you can go a lot further and create dazzling light shows, but not everyone wants or needs that. Alexa and Google Assistant are perfect for inexpensive, simple automations that won\u2019t take days to put together.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have the plugs and speakers, you can put together your smart Christmas lights in an hour or two. And that\u2019s a good starting place during the busy holiday season. You can always add more in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
