For all the complaints made against big brands, I personally think there is value in having a brand name and it’s associated reputation (whether true or not).

Currently shopping for a smart wi-fi connected plug timer. Seeing a load of unfamiliar brands does fill me with enough trepidation to just give up.

@stuart_otterson I got an Eve Energy plug that seems to work fine, mainly cause it's the only UK plug that seems to support Apple HomeKit; then set up timers and other rules in HomeKit.
