   I've got lots of the wireless mains plug/sockets. I felt that my   
   competence level demanded a good isolation gap ;-).   
      
   Generally they have been good. A couple of caveats:   
      
   1) Try to get ones with Tasmota pre-installed (Some are flashable, but   
   this can be difficult). i.e. This gives you control purely in your own   
   LAN. You don't want to rely on some cloud service in China.   
      
   2) I have seen comments about them breaking at high wattage. I have used   
   one on a 2.4 kW fan heater. It worked fine, but that was for short   
   periods, not all day, every day.
