Picked up a few TP-Link Tapo smart plugs today from Best Buy. Spent the last hour setting them up and configuring automations.

This is fun.

@stevendbrady I have all our indoor Christmas lights on them. My wife's Christmas village and our Christmas tree. They each have their own automation. The village is on multiple outlets in a group. But I have one automation that turns them all on, and Google responds "Merry Christmas you filthy animal" when you turn them on, and "Bah humbug" when you turn them off.

@Jolly Jcrabapple @Steven Brady :maryland_badge: That's pretty great. I just added all the lights to a group thus far, as well as turning off inside and outside lights and inflatables at midnight. I may order some light switches and more plugs if they're all still on sale.
