1 year agoAgree with YoLink. Can transmit very far although hub may need to be in line of sight for applications. I have one on my mailbox door and backyard shed door. You can keep getting alerts if door is left open. Using a water temp sensor for our space. The transmitter failed because of moisture ingress so placed new one in a baggie above insulated cover and under canvas cover. Nice log to see when opened and closed each day. Great customer service as well.
I suggest Kasa Smart Plugs. No hub required, use a phone app. You set a cadence of on and off times and control manually. App control provides a kill switch capability. Very inexpensive, $20 to $30 for 4 plugs. Obviously, your children could remove the smart plug and just plug the tv into an outlet.
