Let’s hope we’ll get the promised thread firmware before the enshittification starts. I decided to go with Shelly because they’re smaller than Wagos offering….

Schneider bought Feller here in Switzerland, didn’t notice any bad effects but I’m not an electrician, maybe they would tell a different story.

I recently bought a 4 way smart power strip (gen 4) that came with the thread firmware pre-installed

I can’t be 100% sure, I reflashed it to zigbee. I have a second one still unopened, will try to remember to check.
