What is your recommendation for reliable homekit outlets/plugs to use with roomie remote(simplecontrol)?

I've got wemo minis with the firmware upgraded to support homekit but i find them unreliable, connectivity issues and sometimes it works in the wemo app but not in the home app, seems sporadic . My wifi is solid, its a ubiquiti system and i've got excellent coverage through the house, so im looking for an alternative.

Right now im looking at the new hue smart plug and ikea outlet and gateway, anyone got any other suggestions?

I’ve had good luck with these. They actually control my landscape lighting.

Very few “no responses” over the 6+ months I’ve had them. I was actually surprised they survived the summer heat.
