Advice on deleting a water heater or not

For smart plugs there was a really good thread on that. The general consensus was tplink hs110 was better for the price and that it remains the on/off state after power loss. Important for the “mission critical” things like wifi… Or a fridge.

For lights hue is expensive, but the only thing currently integrated with sense. My preference is smart switches over bulbs for a number of reasons, cost and reliability are top of that.
