Can someone recommend power plugs that I can use with Home assistant? Running Hassio on a PI and integrating Sonos, Ikea TRÅDFRI and verisure alarm and would like some power plugs to control lamps.
And TP Link have been faultless for me. Easy integration as well.

I was going to suggest the Osram Lightify Plugs (seems to be renamed to “smart+”) but I had problems adding it to the Tradfri gateway. It connected to the remote but to the connection to the gateway seemed to unstable. I see something similar with Philips Hue Bridge where the plugs are reported as unreachable after a while. They are useable with the Hue bridge but weren’t with the tradfri gateway.
They don’t have to be integrated with the TRÅDFRI gateway and app, as long as I can control them smoothly with Home assistant I am fine. None of these require a gateway of their own do they?
wemo does not require a gateway.
Another vote for the tp-link hs100 here. I haven’t tried any others but these are good value and quick to set up.

I actually like the TP-Link HS105s because of their form factor - I know other brands have similar ones that allow you to use two of them in a dual socket.
They don’t require a gateway and I never set them up with a cloud account so they are under my ‘local’ control only - they work flawlessly so far.
Anybody tried Houzetek intelligent WLAN plug WiFi socket? It is available in EU variant and also lot cheaper than from TP Link.
