Been using tp-link smart plugs for a moment. Not really had any problems with them but i want to move to something such as z-wave or a ZigBee. Something that is totally local and does not require a different app on my phone.

I bought a few cheap ones with Wifi (16A and energy monitoring) from Tasmota's list and flashed them with Tasmota. Works reasonably well. Though I have to say friends had some of these fail over the years.
