Yeah but now you have a smart plug in your house.
Is the smart plug company going to turn it on in the middle of the night? You've just moved the problem from one closed, proprietary technology to a different closed, proprietary technology.
Not all smart plugs are proprietary. You could even make one yourself with an ESP-01, a relay, and open-source firmware like ESP Home if you know what you're doing to make it safe at that kind of voltage. If you're overconfident in your ability to make it safe, then you've still got an untrustworthy smart plug at the end of the process, so it's not necessarily a good idea, but it's not proprietary.
Hmm that's a good point. Never seen one for sale that I trusted though, and I did have a good look at one point.
IKEAs Trådfri plug can be adopted into anything that supports Zigbee. Works out of the box with Zigbee2MQTT. No flashing required.
