Smart Plugs - recommendations?

Post by mik »

Want a couple of smart plugs. Don’t have any experience with them.

Want them in a location that is quite far from the router/repeater disc, so ones that are sensitive to a weaker signal would be an advantage.

Any recommendations?

I have a bunch of Refoss smart plugs that I bought for cheaps off Amazon 4 years ago. They work well, report on usage in real time and seem to be ok being a way from our router.
You settle up, I'll go get the Jag.

I've found Meross ones to be the most reliable for us.
Cheers,

Got several of these - no issues.
The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on
