For real, so many proprietary applications that will almost certainly just lose support within the decade, rendering the device useless if it can only be used with that particular app.
Exactly, and the apps usually suck. I'm planning on just buying a bunch of ESP32 chips and some relays and building my own out of regular powerstrips. I already have a hacky digital switch I spliced into my 3d printer power chord, can't be too hard to slap one in line with a commercial power strip.
I'm sad that there aren't more "generic" devices out there that just use standard free protocols
