Re: smart plugs???

Yes, they exist. One of them is this one.

I have experience with one like this. You use your browser to control them. There is no
cloud if you don't want to. It connects to your wi-fi network. Just type address into your browser,
and you are ready to go.

Hi all. I'm looking for a so-called "smart plug" to control from linux.
 
I've just had a bad experience with tp-link's offering, which requires
using a phone to set it up - and enabling in-app purchases to do so, how
unnecessary! My own phone and tablet are too out of date for their
software to install, and I'm not about to change settings on anyone
else's. Unfortunately, PyP100 needs the device to be already set up :-{
 
 
So - is there a smart plug around that can be set up and controlled from
linux without all the garbage the makers seem to want to inflict?
 
TIA.
