I’m looking for a smart power strip, which allows me to remote control and schedule on/off.

Last year I bought Hey!'s smart power strip. Hey! is a UK brand, but turn out its products are just branded Chinese products. I used it anyway but it just bricked itself last month.

For quality, safety, and security reasons, I strongly prefer a non-made-in-China smart power strip.

Compatibility with Home Assistant is prefered, but not 100% required. I’m interested in switching to Home Assistant but I haven’t yet.

Thanks for any suggestions!

    Is it that the hardware is manufactured in China, or that the product is simply a rebranded Tuya product?

    If it’s the latter, I’ve integrated many Tuya products into my HA using the LocalTuya add-on. Only need cloud once (per item) to get it integrated, then you can block cloud access for that device forevermore.
