I'm not sure how much simpler it can be sated about Hubspace devices at Home Depot. If they don't include Home Assistant as a supported environment, they probably won't work with Home Assistant except through any integration you set up with Amazon or Google.

There is not currently a Home Assistant Integration for Hubspace or EcoSpace (parent company to Hubspace) nor does there appear to be a match for either in HACS.\

This is of course subject to change. There could be an integration drafted into HACS tomorrow, or as a full blown integration with an upcoming update to Home Assistant. I'm not holding my breath though.
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
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.
