Hey everyone! Does anyone know of any smart plug brands that offer a lock or confirmation feature in their app?

 

I’ve spent ages searching and was really surprised to find that NO brands seem to include this functionality in their apps. Given that, it makes sense that Tapo doesn’t have it either, apparently nobody’s doing this feature. A few brands offer physical button locks, but that’s not the same as an app-controlled lock, so accidental presses can still happen.

Yes, we definitely need a "lock power status" feature that prevents remote power changes (it still leaves the power on via the physical button).
Also because, with all the connected devices, Alexa/Google/Siri might turn it off simply because they misinterpreted the request.
