Those of you who have a #SmartHome, what are your use-cases for smart plugs?
Most of my electrical things aren't just on/off.
I've got a light, a fan, and an electric blanket which can be controlled from the plug.
Other things (like TV, kettle, etc) need interaction after the power is turned on.
Have you found any good uses for #IoT plugs?
(Not interested in rants about security & privacy, thanks.)
Additional question!
Does anyone make a PowerLine Ethernet adapter which also has #IoT functionality?
I'd like a smartplug which didn't rely on WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee etc.
(Again, not here for your "just run Ethernet everywhere" hot takes.)
@Edent do you mean a PowerLine Ethernet adapter which can turn on and off its through plug? I looked at TPLink (it’s how I’ve done my house), and the innovation they had (which I would like) is the status lights and pair button are now on the front.
Alas, no control over the plug in the Ethernet over Power solutions.
@Waf yeah, that's what I'm looking for.
I'm going to have to build this myself, aren't I?
