Any good smart power strip not made in China? - eviltoast

I’m looking for a smart power strip, which allows me to remote control and schedule on/off.

Last year I bought Hey!'s smart power strip. Hey! is a UK brand, but turn out its products are just branded Chinese products. I used it anyway but it just bricked itself last month.

For quality, safety, and security reasons, I strongly prefer a non-made-in-China smart power strip.

Compatibility with Home Assistant is prefered, but not 100% required. I’m interested in switching to Home Assistant but I haven’t yet.

Thanks for any suggestions!

    I’ve had zero issues with my Kasa plugs, lights, and switches, and I have a lot of them in multiple locations. They were easy to set up and none have failed.

    It’s kind of annoying that you can’t add other people to your Kasa “home”, but since they work with Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant, and SmartThings, it hasn’t been an issue sharing access.
