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.

    I have some Shelly plugs, some Athom plugs, some Nous A1T (and a Nous A6T for the terrace). The Zigbee plugs I had all were pretty substandard in terms of reporting after running Tasmota for a while. Main issue with the Tasmota ones is that about all of them are based on an ESP32 where the LED can’t be programmatically turned off. On the plus side, they double duty as nigh lights.

      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.)
