I'm looking for a simple US plug to add to my system. I have lots of both zigbee and z-wave devices, so either type would be fine to add.
For some reason, all I can find these days are cheap wifi plugs, moderate round zigbee plugs that are too large and partially block the second outlet in a duplex wall outlet, or hideously expensive (e.g., $50-60) plugs. What reliable plug would people recommend to add to a system and where can I get it?
The SmartThings outlets (made by Centralite) were pretty solid. I see a new Centralite outlet on Amazon for $19.95 -- wondering if it is as good as the "old school" outlets?
I like the INNR 224 zigbee plugs -- they are solid, repeat well and are ZB 3.0
I have quite a few of those Centralite 4200c outlets. They've worked well for me. Don't believe anything you might read, eg Amazon, about it being able to monitor energy or power-it doesn't. On and off only.

I have quite a few of these and they are working well.
SYLVANIA Smart ZigBee Smart Plug, Works with SmartThings, Wink, and Amazon Echo Plus, Hub Needed for Amazon Alexa / Google Assistant - 1 Pack https://a.co/d/aFN6ehp
What's nice about the 4200C is that you can stack two of them in one outlet.
Do you know if the output is a relay ? i.e. does it "click" when going on or off.
Thanks
yes
@rsjaffe Sengled. They also make great repeaters.

I have used these Sylvania plugs for years and have never had any kind of failure. They repeat the signal very well. I do not use any other kind.
Here we go again. The last time you posted I bought 2 of the sengleds! And now they're 35% off, so it's ~27 for 2 plugs and they work well so far and report power
Where do you see this price? I'm not finding it anywhere including the provided Amazon link.
I've started using a couple Sengled and they've been very good as far as reliable and power reporting (using them w/a washer/dryer laundry reminder rule).
That's weird. Are you prime?
@LosinIt
WOW, That was NOT there last week otherwise, I'd have gotten the 4 pack. Ug, now to return 2 and buy 4 or keep 2 and get 4 more?
Does anyone know of a group similar to AA? Where i can go to confess my obsession with smart devices?
I'm pleased to return the favor.
I've been looking for plugs that could handle 15A with power reporting for well over a year and not come across these. But I am notorious for picking crappy search terms.
Thought I was asking kind of a dumb question. Looks like it was less dumb than I thought. Thanks for finding that sale on Sengled outlets!
Don't blame me! It was @Rxich that led me to it. Blame him/her.
