What to Look For
Key factors to consider before buying on AliExpress
WiFi plugs are cheapest and work standalone but congest your network. Zigbee plugs need a hub but are more reliable. Matter offers the best cross-platform interoperability.
Real-time wattage tracking. WiFi models store history in the cloud; Zigbee models can log locally with Home Assistant.
16A rating is standard for high-power appliances (heaters, AC). Physical manual override button is essential. USB charging ports are a bonus.
