Smart Plug (Matter)

Any lamp or heater becomes voice- and schedule-controlled.

A smart plug is worth it for lamps, holiday lights, fans and coffee makers you want on a schedule or a voice command; buy a Matter-certified one so it works with Apple, Google and Alexa at once, and skip it for anything with its own on/off button logic like a TV.
