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.

Nous A1T,A8T,etc. Basically their whole series.

They are WiFi and come with Tasmota preinstalled, they have energy measurement (which needs to be calibrated,though) and they are absolutely solidly build (I opened up one to check - I had a flimsy one almost burn once) and have a manual button.

And I don't need a gateway or anything,they sit isolated in their own subnet and SSID with all the other IOT devices (and can't even reach each other) and reliably just,well,works.

While most by switching and measuring needs are done by KNX actuators I sometimes still need a flexible solution(christmas tree,etc.) and love them for it.
