I have been thinking of getting one just out of curiosity or the need to switch something on/off remotely while lazily lying on the bed. Another use case is to switch devices on/off on a schedule.
Which smart plugs are you all using and recommend? How is the build quality and life of these devices? How easy to operate are they and their apps. Do they run zigbee like Phillips Hue or we need a good WiFi mesh system to run them. Do they have compatibility with all voice assistants or Siri as usual does not make the cut. How accurate is their energy monitoring feature?
Lastly are there any plugs which are Matter compatible so that they can all be managed from one place itself or we need to be careful on which ecosystem we are diving into.
Lets pool in with your views and I will try to compile a buying guide using your inputs to help other members.
