TP-Link has an interesting solution to add connected smarts to "dumb" devices-- the Kasa Smart Wifi Power Strip, a wifi-enabled power strip allowing one to control devices via companion app and various voice assistants.
“The Kasa Smart Wifi Power Strip is the latest innovation in the Kasa Smart lineup, making the dream of a smart home a greater reality,” the company says. “For many, the possibility of a smart home may seem like a challenge, but the Kasa Smart Wifi Power Strip makes the dream attainable by giving you six outlets that can turn any product into a smart product. This means you can control any device from anywhere, monitor energy consumption and more, thanks to the Kasa Smart mobile app.”
