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 have a few Aqara smart socket with power monitoring, and they ask great, but also expensive.

I had a bunch of the old style of IKEA smart sockets without power monitoring. They work just fine, but they are quite clunky...

I recently bought a couple of the new IKEA smart sockets with power monitoring, and they are almost on par with the Aqara ones, but less than half the price.
