Smart extension leads/power strips
 
Does anyone have any recommendations or first hand experience of smart extension leads/power strips? Minimum 6 sockets individually switched via app and/or Alexa

Loads of stuff sat in standby but the existing leads are in awkward places + i have stuff that needs to be permanently on.

Thanks in advance !

I've found the Meross smart plugs to be good.

Excellent !! These are the ones i had been looking at, but, from the reviews it appears that individual sockets can't be named? meaning you have to remember what is plugged in to each socket, is that still the case ?

Thanks for the help !

You can name them, but its limited to 10 characters only.

I run mine on an isolated network. Not to sure when they get updates or how open their firmware can be.
