Seeking the Perfect Smart Socket Replacement

After years of reliable service, my Gosund SP111 smart sockets have finally met their match—unfortunately, I didn’t stockpile enough of them! I’m now on a quest to find the ideal replacement that ticks all the right boxes. Here’s what I’m looking for:

  1. Power Monitoring: It’s essential for keeping track of energy usage in real-time.
  2. Compact Design: Needs to fit neatly alongside others in a power strip.
  3. Ease of Access: A case held together by screws, not glue, please!
  4. Accessible Programming Pins: For those DIY enthusiasts out there.
  5. ESP8266/ESP32 MCU: Compatibility is key for seamless integration.

I’ve scoured websites like Blakadder for potential candidates, but the details on how user-friendly these devices are for flashing leave much to be desired. Any recommendations or insights would be invaluable! I’ve heard Blitzwolf might be an option, but the price tag is a bit steep for my taste.

If anyone has successfully integrated a different model or has tips on where to look, I’d love to hear about it. Let’s see if we can find the perfect fit together! :slight_smile:
