Hi All. As the knowledge base on this list is wide and deep, I am asking to cut through the commercial clutter. Ideally, what I would like to find is a WiFi (802.11a/b/g) capable device that would plug into the end of an extension cord (common US NEMA 5-15 receptacle/plug) and allow me to activate power to the connected device (in this case engine block warmer) over the network via some scripting and cron jobs.
Searches invariably lead to a near endless result list of proprietary devices and apps and household items that aren't likely to be up to the task of being exposed to outdoor elements. Of course there is the Home Assistant forum I can sign up for and ask but I thought I would try here first in case someone has already found such devices. TIA - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
