Introducing the tp-link series of Wi-Fi smart plugs. It has plug types and regulatory compliance for the majority of the world and is extremely affordable. This WiFi based power outlet supports up to 15amps and can be easily integrated into the Control4 home automation system using the Chowmain TP-Link smart home suite of drivers.
Certain models have multiple outlets (KP200/KP400/HS107 has 2 controllable outlets, KP303 has 3 controllable outlets and HS300 has 6 controllable outlets).
