Been using tp-link smart plugs for a moment. Not really had any problems with them but i want to move to something such as z-wave or a ZigBee. Something that is totally local and does not require a different app on my phone.

I'm in the USA and like the the Sengled smart plugs. They use Zigbee, can handle up to 1800W, and are ETL listed. Having said that, it looks like they don't sell the ones I have any more. I don't have experience with their newer ones.

Just make sure whichever ones you get are ETL or UL listed. There's some that are cheap but haven't had any sort of safety testing done. It's not worth the small savings.
