<p>Hi Guys,<br>
<br>
Have been using Alexa / Echo with Philips Hue for a bit but now looking
for=
some Smart Sockets for use with it too ... I know that there's the
Sam=
sung Smartthings but I think that's being terminated isn't
it?<br>
<br>
I've got a few TP Link HS100's coming (=C2=A316 each from
Argos) bu=
t they seem to be in quite short supply too so I was wondering if anyone
el=
se had any suggestions for sockets that can be used with Alexa /
Echo?<br>
<br>
At some point I must get round to trying HomeSeer with the Hue plugin and
i=
nterface but til then I'm barking orders at a bloody oversized Coke
can=
! <br>
