Alright so this is mostly OT, but I figured people who are into IoT might be able to help; does anyone know of a setup that would easily let me control a remote AC outlet by plugging a sensor into an existing hard-switched AC outlet? I'd rather not deal with installing a hub and programming scenes etc. Thanks!
