My Favorite Smart Plug!

1. I’m gonna give a Thumbs Down in disagreement. Eve Energy is a great power metering plug. But Apple Home doesn’t care about power. So its a $45 plug that costs the same as 4 Onvis Matter over Thread plugs without metering. But They only cost $10 in four packs.

2. I have had a number of SmartPlug over the years, as family members see these and remember that I do that SmartHome thing. It’s the only object they know I can use for a SmartHome, so I can’t blame them. All of them have died or become useless. All 40+ SmartPlugs in the house now are Eve. Their performance has been, and remains, rock solid. I can chalk up the bad performing plugs to law- of-small-numbers, but given the large number Eve plugs I have had with longitudinal data on a set of n>30 Eve plugs (statisticians love sample sizes of 30+) and my statistical side is quite happy these.

3. I’ll throw another option I have had for 14 months now without issue. The LinkinD matter over WiFi smart outlets.I have been running 6 of them, just as fast as my matter thread lights.

4. My iDevices Switch is coming to an end after 4 years. Try as I may, it loses its connection to the network after 3 or 4 days. What I like about it is the LED strip which functions as a nightlight or can be automated to come on when a scene is triggered. In my case, when my Schlage door look unlocks, the strip turns green; red when locked.
   Can’t find a similar smart plug.
