And you can get a pair from Amazon for only £12.20 at the moment.

Unlike the big name smart home accessories, Sonoff doesn’t require an expensive hub to do the job.

It requires a little more work and you’ll have to be confident fiddling with electronics.

If you’re not, it’s best to be on the safe side and get a professional to do it – or try something like Philips Hue instead.

Either way, it requires some manual DIY rewiring.

Once it’s done, you connect them to the free eWeLink app to make them truly smart.

Not only can you use the app to switch them on and off, but you can add them to Alexa or Google Assistant.

That way, you can use your voice to change the lights.

The device is currently available on Amazon for £14.35.

But you can get an extra 15 per cent off by ticking the discount box on the page, which makes it £12.20 instead.

The bonus offer is only available until March 26.
