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've got like 10 of these, they work great, and it's actually been helpful for figuring out where all my power is going. I realized I could save probably $20 a month by shutting down my PC at night, both because of the CPU power and subsequent increase in AC usage.
