Just to clarify Tuya = the OEM that makes the chips a lot of cheap smart plugs and lightbulbs use. Tuya makes many chips for a wide variety of devices. Some use WiFi some use Bluetooth+WiFi. Regardless, a hub is not needed for any of them, just the app. I don't know if they make chips for Zigbee devices. Tuya-based devices are tied to the cloud, and it's not easy to get the keys that allow for local control. Even then, using them with 3rd party software like Home Assistant is a hit and miss. The reason I posted is because they're a good deal for 4 plugs that can be flashed with open source software (ESPHome) that works without the need to be tied to the Tuya cloud

They are not Zigbee based, they are Wifi based but I think the SmartLife app should work (I think it's basically the same as the Tuya Smart app) .

No, there are also Bluetooth and WiFi Tuya devices like this one. I think there is a Tuya connector for SmartThings but better check some YT videos how that works exactly before you buy them.

The ad says they're controlled by Alexa and Google. Good luck that your local Ollie's actually have them in stock.

Are you seeing Lego Main Street in an ad? I don't see any Lego in the current ad.

Wow. So can be flashed with Tasmota? The only cheapest option seemed to be Sonoff S31 for about $7 EA.. and that you have to solder/wire to flash.
Incredible deal.
Menards seems to ship??

The ones from Menards have a slightly different model number, 75822 instead of 75702. They still might be flashable but YMMV.

Unfortunately, no. There have to be some sacrifices! I also have Sonoff S31's (flashed with ESPHome as well) with power monitoring but the Sylvania ones were so cheap I can forgive them not having it when all I need is a dumb on/off switch. Not having to open them and solder wires to flash them is another plus, like you mentioned
