With the recent developments of Phillips Hue, I feel like more people should look into Shelly devices. I have a few and they're great. (www.shelly.com)

Shelly is proud of their devices being:

No hub neeeded
Not required to be online
Compatible all major hubs if you do want to connect them.

I do not work for Shelly. I just really like how I don't have to use an app for them and they're compatible with seemingly everything. I've bought the devices and I can do what I want with them.

I had owned two of their smart plugs for a couple of years and they decided to stop responding to resetting and could talk to them. Shelly support sent out two new plugs for me and asked for the defective ones back so they could troubleshoot them. Great service.

Just seems that privacy-centric people should be using privacy focused devices.

They are headquartered in Germany so very unlikely they'll go back on their offline compatibility anytime soon.

I have 4 Shelly Plugs:

Two for LED accents in the living room that turns on at sunset and off at midnight.
Two for my 2 3D Printers so I can remotely turn them off if I see print failures.

I rent right now, but in the future I hope to buy and get a few of their light switch and a bunch of relays to turn regular outlets into smart plugs.

Do you know if klipper can control your Shelly plug? I have a kasa for that reason. All local control.
