If you are a big iOS / "Home" user, I found these Eve (HomeKit compatible) products to be WAY more reliable than Wemo.
Coupon code: SAVE-BIG-25
Eve offers:
Lights, cameras, outlets, power strips, LED lighting options and more.
I personally own two of the power strips and like them a lot.

Their products are really overpriced though. I love Aqara G2h cameras better.

Thanks for the tip. I haven't gotten into HomeKit enabled security cameras yet, but am planning on it.
Honestly, I don't own any Eve devices (yet?) but I keep reading how Eve continues to support their older products and provide updated firmware to meet updated standards (like Meta). Right now I just use the Eve app to setup automations since it offers more features and commands than the HomeKit app itself and I appreciate how Eve doesn't lock it to their own devices.

I've tried 4 HomeKit cameras and by far my favorite camera is the Aqara G2h and my least favorite was the Eufy Cam 2K C24.
The Aqara G2h is on sale for $50 (lowest price it'll ever be) so if you're on the fence for HomeKit, now is the time to get it. Just realize there are a TON of gotchas you have to live with:
1. Can't have more than 2-3 Aqara g2h cameras streaming live or the video feed cuts out randomly. (HomeCam author has confirmed this)
2. You can only stream 2 live streams at once when off your local area network.

I just purchased the eve weather station and plugs which track energy usage. I had to get website total above $100 for free ship. Total was $160 but after their 25% off was $120 free ship and no tax.
I use unifi for cameras and storage hardware. I do have a raspberry pi4 which I need to spend some time configuring hoobs so I can pipe unifi's streams into homekit. Hope its just a afternoon project.
Also hopefully home+ 5 app will go on sale tomorrow.
