When we did our extension and refurb and installed our Loxone system we weren’t able to do much with the existing power sockets so they are mainly still “dumb” sockets. I want to change that by using smart plugs controllable via Loxone but I need quite a lot for all the lamps, appliances I want to control and having a dozen or more of the Loxone Socket Air’s is both expensive and not especially discrete as they are quite bulky.

I'm impressed with the shelly equipment generally but don't like their smart plug design. There seem to be a vast array of smart plugs on the market so thought I'd ask for recommendations.



I do have a few requirements though to hopefully narrow the field:

1. Compact "squarish" design (would only consider round if they were very thin)

2. Preferably similar thickness to a standard plug

3. WiFi with IP control (not just an app, as will need to send http commands from Loxone system)

4. Can switch full 13A load



Nice to have's would be:

5. If possible the range to include both dimmer and relay variants

6. Light to indicate status

7. Power monitoring (preferably data sent to Loxone)
