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!

Hard to imagine TP-Link not making their products in China, it is a Chinese company XD

But I do agree: usually they make top quality hardware, been my favorite for… a decade at least? I like their Tapo smart plugs and cameras, my router is TP-Link, I have a second router with a mobile connection and that’s Mercusys (another sub brand) and so on.

I’m sticking with Ubiquiti for wireless networking however.
