These electrical outlets are becoming more popular, cheaper and loaded with features that you should take advantage of
They are usually supplied with their own system to drive/read their status
Do you know how to pilot its operation and read its status by completely avoiding using the manufacturer's proprietary apps/websites?

That one doesn't seem to support Tasmota (which makes it extremely simple to do what you need) so it depends on whether or not a REST (or other) API is available. If you go for the Sonoff S20 instead, here's how to do it: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...smart-power-plugs-b4x-home-automation.125768/ . Other Tasmota-supported devices can be found on https://templates.blakadder.com/ . Hope this helps!

If you are willing to take the time, I suggest setting up a (open source) HomeAssistant Server (very easy to do with a RPI or any Linux Box or even a Windows Computer). HomeAssistant supports almost every type of device out there and provides a great API to access your devices.
