Hi all.
I’m looking for a smart plug that can work with HA pretty much out of the box.
Any recommendations?

Hi, your question is to general.
It all depends where you live, how you want to integrate it in HA, your requirements, …
Have you conducted a search (here on the forum) because you are not the first to ask this.
esp based wifi plug pre-loaded with esphome or tasmota. Maximum freedom and future proof
I live in Israel.
I just want it to work with HA without any special requirements.
I want to control it remotely and monitor usage.
I tried the Tasmota but it doesn’t connect to my Asus router. If it does connect, then it’s dropping connection all the time while it’s 2 meters away from it.
So I’m after a smart plug that is not tasmota that I can get from AliExpress
First you decide how you want to communicate with that power plug (WiFi, zigbee or zwave) and then what is available/where you would like to buy it.
Depends on how do you intend to build your network. What protocol will most of your devices use.
