Hi,

I am looking to get a power strip to put in a small room that only has one outlet. Because of the location, certain items like the lamp will have it's on/off switches in inconvenient places. So, I wanted something that works with HomeKit.

Its been really hard though. There are a TON of options in the 30 dollar range that work with BOTH alexa and google home. They don't include Homekit though.

At some point, all of our homes are going to be like this, and if Apple is left behind why would people stick with their iPhone?

So, can anyone recommend something for me?
 
Do you want each item individually or the strip as a whole? You could get single-plug devices and plug them in between the device and the strip, or get one and plug it in between the strip and the wall (depending on how you want to do it).
 
Is it the price that's an issue? because a simple google search turned up at least one smart power strip that is homekit compatible on Amazon, but it's around $45-ish.
