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’m using a mixture of Sonoff S31ZB (ZigBee) and S31 (WiFi) plugs with #Zigbee2MQTT and #ESPhome respectively.

I like their form-factor and that you can plug two of them into standard wall outlets (I also have older eWeeLink plugs that partially block the other outlet).
The ZigBee plugs are easier to pair with my #ZigBee network but the S31 allow me to measure power usage in #HomeAssistant.
