Upgrading our old X10 setup with RPi + HS4 software + small budget. I know that Homeseer controllers support their Wifi Smart Plugs but I wonder what other budget brand of wifi plugs will work with HS4.
Its a little unclear to me if a zwave radio for the RPi is required for proper wifi plug operation. I already have an old RPi but might consider getting the HomeTroller Pi and all its built in hardware features.
thx

Z-wave us is its own radio system and API. If you have no z- wave devices you don’t need a zwave radio. One big plus side of z-wave is it is a common technology used by many vendors. Think USB vs Lightning. If you have a computer with a USB port, you are 99.9% confident you can plug a USB device into it and it will work.
As for what HomeSEer supports, go to the drivers section of shop. Homeseer. Com.

I see support for Tplink, wemo, tuya (smart life) , shelly, and mqtt.
More are available for a fee.
Kasa plugs are like $8 each and use wifi. I have a drawer full of them.
