Hi all. I'm looking for a so-called "smart plug" to control from linux.

I've just had a bad experience with tp-link's offering, which requires 
using a phone to set it up - and enabling in-app purchases to do so, how 
unnecessary! My own phone and tablet are too out of date for their 
software to install, and I'm not about to change settings on anyone 
else's. Unfortunately, PyP100 needs the device to be already set up :-{


So - is there a smart plug around that can be set up and controlled from 
linux without all the garbage the makers seem to want to inflict?

TIA.
