Spell that out in a bit more detail ?  Just ordered one
to use to switch the electric blanket on remotely.

Elgato just confirmed that the Australian version of
Eve Energy will be out in the next couple of weeks.

That’s Hue compatible but not clear what it costs yet.
Unlikely to be as cheap but likely to be easier to use.
No big risk for $10 with this one.
