At the moment I have the steffen wireless switches to switch a few devices (mainly loudspeakers that make noise when the pc is off) that are slowly breaking down and are no longer available in the shop.
i could just replace them with the new and hopefully better ones, but as i now have my homeassistant setup with hue and nanoleaf lights, i thought it would be a good idea to buy plugs that are integrated with them. The path of least resistance would be to just buy the hue plugs as I already have the hue bridge. But I think the ability to measure power consumption would also be good.
tldr; my goal:
prio 1: switch
prio 2: measure
and at the same time:
- swiss plug
- home assistant integration for switching (and possibly measuring) as little hacky as possible
- as little fiddling and phone home with proprietary apps, clouds and accounts as possible
is that possible?
e.g. when i google the brands here in the shop i come across home assistant integrations for the brand
- but then not for the plugs
- or for the plugs but not with measurement
- or homeassistant possible but through smart things, tuya etc. cloud integration
zigbee sounds like a way to go, with the hue bridge I actually also have a zigbee gateway, but I don't understand if there are limits to the functions compared to a zigbee gateway like the one from Nabu Casa
in the discussion about the hombli plugs i found the recommendation: "Eve Energy CH with Matter over Thread", should I just get a thread border router like the one from espressif?
if i need an app just to pair, that's ok, but not permanently on the internet just to control my stuff in the house
