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 have Leviton Zigbee compatible outlets in my house. Leviton ZSTLR-HW1 is the model number. They work great. Leviton is a reputable manufacturer of lights, outlets, switches etc. my electrician friends tell me Leviton stuff is worth buying as it’s what they install for money.
I have a few Leviton Decora WiFi outlets that worked just fine, and despite updating them a few times they have yet to yeet themselves into obscurity. I just pulled them when I decided to go zigbee instead because a buddy of mine kept a whole mess of zigbee when his company over ordered and I got them in trade for some plumbing work.
Just saw you are in the UK. I think the Leviton Decora line of switches/outlets/plugs is available over in the land of spotted dick. Those are WiFi, but they should have a zigbee compatible outlet there too I’d imagine.
