Smart plug recommendations for Home app

What smart plugs work well with our Home app?


I've been using the Switchbot Smart Plugs, but they are not longer available through Amazon. So, I am looking for an alternative. I need to replace one plug which has gone bad. Very simple need. This plug simply controls a lamp in the living room. Thanks for suggestions!

Are you looking for Home app (HomeKit) compatibility? Matter? Home Assistant like Switchbot had?


There's many brands out there. TP-Link's Kasa, though those seem to be limited to 2.4Ghz wi-fi, are a decent choice.

Amazon's own brand also a good rated choice.

Phillips though those are also limited to 2.4Ghz.

I have a couple of Philips Hue smart plugs and they work fine. They are more but work on 5Ghz and are very reliable.
