It is December 2024, and I am searching high and low for the most reliable “IN WALL/Hard-wired” electrical outlet receptacles based on PERSONAL EXPERIENCE only. I am sorry to have to use all caps, but I don’t want anyone to waste their valuable time if they will not be contributing anything of value… Nor do I want my time, or others who come here in the future, seeking the same thing. There are reviews for so many things… Smart Switches, bulbs, External Wall plugs & Power strips. But it is SO difficult to find any “recent” (within past 2-3 years" for in wall smart power receptacles.

Please advise (I’m personally hoping for Zigbee or Z-Wave… But any protocol is is great for advice EXCEPT for Wi-Fi).

Thank any and all who participate.

In the UK, there’s the ClickSmart+ range of single and double wall sockets. These are Z2M compatible, can’t comment on ZHA.

I found some on Amazon US. They were more expensive than, say, a Sonoff ZBMini. The mini is under $14 compared to $50 for the outlets.

I use a couple of Enbrighten Z-wave In-wall Outlets, model 55256/ZW1002. Works fine for what I need them for, which is control fans outside. They have been in service for 3 years without issue.
