I have been using smart home devices since the 1980's, the X10 devices.  I still have a number of them and they are still being sold.  I like the new WiFi  devices from tp-link, but they are missing one piece that I need before I can give up the X10 system.  The X10 system has controllers that send commands, tp-link depends on your cell phone or Alexa to send commands.  I don't want to always have to pull out my phone.  The X10 system has a small table top box that you can just push a button to turn on a light, see - https://www.x10.com/collections/x10-plug-in-controllers/products/mc10a .  The have controllers that can be mounted in a electrical box, see - https://www.x10.com/collections/in-wall-keypads/products/xp4a-w-ns .  I currently have 8 of the table top controllers and 4 of the in-wall-keypads.  

 

If I could replace these controllers at a reasonable price I would be able to replace all of my X10 system.  At this point I have replaced installed 9 tp-link wall switches and 4 tp-link plugs.  I could do quite a bit more if I had the controllers.
