I'm using power lines at home and trying to avoid using WiFi as much as possible. And many powerline adapters to ethernet include a plug. Moreover, many suppliers of powerlines also offer smart switches in their catalog. However, I don't find any combination of smart plug using powerlines instead of WiFi. Can you help me with that?

I already explored websites of TP-Link, Sonoff, and others. But I hope I'm missing the one that offers that.

I only know of (and have used) X10 before. Eventually I threw them out and replaced them with Z-Wave devices.

They work on powerlines. The issues I had were

  • It didn't work across 3-phase system (when I realised this, I bought a 3-phase coupler)
  • Maximum distance was 30m (back then). This was not communicated to me and was a deal breaker for me.
  • The system was too visible for my wife's liking. (Z-Wave or Zigbee devices can be hidden).

Otherwise it worked fine.

Here is a plug on the X10 site
