Only open issue is name length for the individual plugs. If you exceed about 90 characters total, it can cause an error. The error will pop-up on installation and ask you to fix. (Issue is the Kasa devices returns a message longer than can be handled by Hubitat UDP protocol. Only device that does that is the HS300 with all of those independent plugs.)

I wonder what’s the prospects on this? https://www.amazon.com/AHRISE-Protector（1680-Outlets-outlets-Extension/dp/B07WGN3X5F/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1FA6JG69THP8Q&dchild=1&keywords=wifi+outlet+strip&qid=1590081202&sprefix=WiFi+out%2Caps%2C158&sr=8-3
Inexpensive and 8 ports. U think a driver would be difficult?
From the Amazon page:
Smart Plug, Power Strip, AHRISE WiFi Surge Protector with 4 Smart Outlets and 4 Always on outlets and 4 USB Ports
So that doesn't meet your basic criteria, correct?
It does , perfect actually, I really only need 2 smart and 4 regular
try this, have 2 they work good

what about using a regular surge protector and using something like a zen25 on each plug

Thx, the outlet look really close, I might have to use those mini extender for power bricks, huh?
depending on orientation of the power strip these might work well

11.50 per outlet.... about the same price as these
maybe just get 2 of those...

Will depends on size of the brick. I'd say the outlets are spaced pretty good, I managed to get an adapter and a plug right next to each other. There cord on the unit is not 6 feet, maybe 4 or 5 feet.
The Zooz item outlet spacing is about the same or maybe a slight bit closer.

Wow thanks, it’s those darn apple bricks lol. Well I ordered one, thx
I do. One was created for ST years ago that I ported over and improved since I own this web power switch. I bought it out of pure laziness at the time I needed to cycle my cable modem all the time and I grew tired of going into my “network” closet under my front stairs. This is a closet in a closet that my fat arse is hard to get through the narrow door. Happy to post it up next week if anyone is interested.
This is what it looks like:

FWIW, I just ordered one because it's Z-Wave (wish it was plus) and the price is right (6 outlets for the price of one of those Zooz 2-outlet cubes). I also added a 6-pack of 1-foot short extension cords, so that I can fan out all of the wall-warts that I need to plug in with no worry about outlet spacing.....
Link to extension cords?
It is definitely on my to-buy list at some point later this year. I am sometimes away from home for days at a time, and always sweat a cable modem or router lockup cutting off my remote home control when I'm a thousand miles from home. I would buy one just for the auto-ping power-cycle function of the network stuff, and link it to HE for additional HA monitoring/control of the outlets.....

I didn't shop/research (it was a suggested purchase when I added the strip to my cart), but they appear to be UL certified and use a heavier cable per the reviews.....

I have two of these. Not on HE, but on their own app.

Mine came today. Thx. Heck of a find, I’m ordering another

Got mine yesterday, and paired it up today with no issues. Think I'm ordering 3-4 more this afternoon, if for no other reason than they are almost as cheap as "dumb" power strips. Thanks for the pointer @Rxich, and also Nick Veenstra for writing the device support!
