Been using tp-link smart plugs for a moment. Not really had any problems with them but i want to move to something such as z-wave or a ZigBee. Something that is totally local and does not require a different app on my phone.

Ikea and Lidl zigbee work well for me and are reasonably cheap. Ikea's look a little better, but I have only one because it is a pretty recent product.

I'm starting to move over to ikea since they're throwing all in with matter - nice pricepoint too (australia tax)
