I have 1 WeMo in my house and it works well with Apple. I'm looking for cheaper alternatives. Otherwise I will stick with WeMo

Commercial unit makes a racket when on so it's only on during the night which lasts the whole day
Only downside is the kasa plugs even with energy monitoring don't tell you an hourly amount of energy being used. It just says how much used over the day and right now.
Changed to an emporia smart plug. That one graphs it to the minute (or even seconds) so I can see how many times it actually revs up over the night and only have it on that amount of time during the night.
And to add insult to injury, it seems like one of my plugs also has intermittent wifi issues. Everything fine for a few weeks, then suddenly, it loses wifi and needs to be factory reset and setup again.
I'm not sure how the EP10 compares to other TP-LINK smart plugs, but it's awful compared to another Alexa smart plug i have. I really don't understand how they managed to reinvent an electrical socket with such an obvious design flaw, and why isn't every review complaining about loose plugs.
TL;DR: DO NOT BUY THIS SMART PLUG
Sounds like you need to replace your outlet. The contacts inside the outlet will become lose over time if plugs get bumped while plugged in or if you aren't inserting/unplugging plugs straight.
But you're right, not everything can be turned on remotely. And some of the things that can might be tricky to set up (e.g. modify BIOS in a computer to power on automatically).
