Upgrading our old X10 setup with RPi + HS4 software + small budget. I know that Homeseer controllers support their Wifi Smart Plugs but I wonder what other budget brand of wifi plugs will work with HS4.

Its a little unclear to me if a zwave radio for the RPi is required for proper wifi plug operation. I already have an old RPi but might consider getting the HomeTroller Pi and all its built in hardware features.

thx

Kasa plugs are like $8 each and use wifi. I have a drawer full of them.
