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 4 Ali express generic ones that support matter and they’re great. Being matter you need a matter enabled hub for them, but also being matter that hub isn’t brand specific which is cool. They seem reliable so far (1 year in). And any matter enabled smartphone app will work to control them (I use Apple home, but google home or home assistant etc are all also available)
