2 out of the 3 smart plugs I’ve bought in the last couple of years have shit themselves for whatever reason. One just doesnt turn off, the other bricked itself after moving house (???)

If anyone here has used any smart plugs that havent died within a couple of years I’d love to know. I’m only using them for lamps that are a prick to reach. Bonus points for any that dont require bullshit apps to set them up

PS: UK But I guess I can find similar models if you got em

    I use Tapo smart plugs for my plant lights and they have a warranty of 2 to 3 years and have worked well for over a year now without shitting themselves. I use them on a timer and there unfortunately is an app, but it’s relatively unannoying and straightforward.

    I had a deltaco smart extension chord that just stopped working one day right after the warranty ended, switched it to a Tapo and it too has worked great since.
