Which cheap device as a smart wall socket and must be a firmware change?

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners
1

I want ask which product you will recommend as cheap smart wall socket ?
My first idea was try a LSC smart connect power socket, but found that this device has some hw updates and isn’t good for openhab.
Is necessary do a firmware change to get devices working with openhab?

Xiaomi zigbee wall socket. Standard zigbee. Plug and play.
Shelly.
Anything running tasmota (sonoff) will communicate with mqtt as well.
Lots of options.

I prefere devices which can run localy without connection to outside network and localy I don’t want install mqtt support. Also price is important for me.

4

why not simply put a Shelly behind the socket, or if in Europe, get a Shelly Socket which can hold a Shelly behind…

5

None of the devices I suggested requires cloud, and if you don’t want to use mqtt then you’ll have a hard time finding alternatives.

Good luck and share whatever your solution is!

shelly behind the socket looks really good.
But first of all I think I need a socket with timer. I need timer, which can run without wifi connection (means time configuration is saved in the device) and also power measurement isn’t necessary.
