The Amazon Smart Plug is usually worth it for one lamp if you already use Alexa and want simple voice control or routines. Typical price: about $15–$25 new; if you see it for $10–$15, that’s a good deal. If you do not use Alexa, a cheaper smart plug or a basic timer is often better value for a single lamp.

For one lamp, I’d buy it when convenience matters more than cost, especially for bedtime/off-at-sunset automations. I’d skip it if the lamp is rarely used, is already controlled by a wall switch you turn on/off manually, or you need Apple Home/HomeKit or Google-first control.

Prices change often, so check recent sold/completed listings or current retail before buying.
