the market for network-controllable power strips is weird
it's two things:
1. 50$ devices intended for use in the home. 3 plugs, connects to some cloud service, shiny and available on amazon
2. 300$ devices with 8 ports and you can talk to it over RS232 and 10/100 ethernet and the web stack fits on a 64kb eeprom and it's only purchasable on a website that was last updated in 2008

@foone maybe check out my potnanny project on GitHub. It runs on a pi zero w. Uses Bluetooth devices mainly (can write gpio plugins too if you want). It can talk with Govee h5082 dual outlets. Inexpensive, reliable, good BT range.
Maybe would fit your need?

No cloud required.
