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.

Yeah. While most of my stuff is switched by KNX I came here to second the Nous (see here: https://mikrotik.com/product/ltap_lr8g_lte6_kit#fndtn-specifications )

Tbf, for the LED I simply snipped it off for the one plug that is in a sensitive position often.

Other than that I love them. They are solidly build (I opened one and intentionally stress tested it after a bad experience before), directly work with HA and KNX,etc.

(But seriously, consider KNX people,it's far easier than people think.)
