Govee’s latest smart home gadget is a little more colorful than most power strips. The company has launched the new Goveelife Smart Plug Outlet Extender, a compact hub that combines six outlets, two USB ports, and an integrated RGB night light in a single wall-mounted unit. It’s now available to buy in the US for $36.99.

The device went on preorder earlier in the week and is now listed on Amazon, where a 5% coupon brings the price down to roughly $35. The 8-in-1 extender includes two app-controlled smart outlets on the front, while the four always-on outlets sit along the sides — giving you three plug-in surfaces in total. There’s also a USB-C and a USB-A port. Govee says the sockets are spaced to fit bulkier adapters without blocking each other, which is a common complaint associated with poorly designed power strips.
