Crazy that it’s so low. I’d assume people who commute to work waste like an hour minimum going to and from work, so 1/9th of their work day is just unpaid “work” as far as I’m concerned.

That’s ignoring all the benefits in comfort at home. I’m surprised it’s just 8%.

Yep! I’ve got a few Sonoff plugs around the house that work quite well, although flashing a coordinator dongle to router firmware really tied everything together.

The one biggest thing I did that really improved my reception recently was buying a second dongle (Sonoff, they’re cheap on AliExpress and the newest version is pretty much the same hardware as a SkyConnect) and converting it to a router.

I have a few plugs that work as routers, but having a dedicated device with a legit antenna really stabilized everything.
