If you are looking for electrical outlets that can be controlled by #HomeAssistant, and #HomeDepot is your best choice of getting something (I'm not suggesting that it should be, just accepting that for some it will be) they sell a brand 'X Series' set of plugs that have Matter support. They are priced comparably with the previously mentioned Hubspace devices. Obviously you need a Matter Router to work with that. Be nice if the #SkyConnect could get a useful firmware update for that.
And I probably should have hash tagged that. Up the thread, appropriate hashtags may be #HomeAssistant #HomeDepot, #HubSpace, #EcoSpace with honorable mentions to #HomeAssistantHACS, and #ESPHome
