I've bought a good pile of those from a local Do-It-Yourself brand ("OBI"), which was this product: https://www.obi.de/hausfunksteuerung/wifi-stecker-schuko/p/2291706 Though I don't use the original firmware, but started to write something on my own: https://github.com/jbglaw/obi-steckdose . That's not completely finished, but my intent is to have the plug available for powering the device, as well as using the ESP8266's serial port (in combination with a MAX232) to make it a terminal server as well. (Also, it shall be able to log any traffic to a Syslog server, so that occassional Oopses etc. are preserved.) As an alternative which can actually still be bought, I'd like to evaluate the Shelly Plug S (https://shelly.cloud/shelly-plug-s/), but I don't have it here right now. MfG, JBG --
