I've been using one that I got for $40 Canadian off the Alibaba's and of course took forever to get here but the gizmo has proven true over the weeks. Each plug is controlled via tablet/phone. Here's a screenshot of what I got setup on. 24"x48x60"

Fantastic...didn't know about them so thanks for posting 👍
 
Amazon has a nice one for $80 US

https://www.amazon.com/Kasa-Smart-P...ywords=wifi+power+strip&qid=1637642790&sr=8-3

and it works with Alexa, so now you nerds can talk to your grow room lol.
I have been looking at the one the company that made my tent has. 89.00 but labeled for certain items. I asked a simple question and received a stupid answer. So I am looking for alternatives. Does anyone have the Mars Hydro power strip?
Mars hydro ihub smart power strip multiple devices

If anyone has this strip... maybe you can answer this. Does the app just control the on/off of the power to an outlet? Or are they specific to their devices? Example, they have a hydro system, if I use that outlet for an additional light, can I turn that light on and off or is it specific to their hydro system?

I clicked on your link and it looks promising. It is lower than what you posted at 44.00. Has it been reliable? Have you ever lost connection while away and not get it back? I can turn my lights and fan on and off but I would like other things like fans, humidifier, de-humidifier etc.... and have the ability to control them from work.

I do not need to control any device I may plug in, just the ability to provide or deny power to the device.

Thanks in advance. 👍
