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

    Ngl never considered zigbee before.

    I’ll have a look at some point because I’ve been meaning to move off Wifi/Google for my devices, and zigbee stuff seems like it’s in that market where reliability is a bit more important than the WiFi plug you give your dad one christmas that bricks itself a few weeks later.
