    Use Parcel Motel/Wizard for anything on Amazon that doesn't ship to Ireland.
    I have a TP Link smart plug, it works well using Google home, I'm sure it also works with Alexa

    Best value is on the sonoff units, see the bargain alerts add for three for 20 fantastic value. No hub needed works with Alexa and Google home


    On these similar inline bulky units emergenie have a three pack (hub needed) as do lightwaverf (again hub needed)

    Both of the above have nice single and and twin smart sockets with no inline unit needed. Expensive though.

    Use TP Link sockets and bulbs - work well with Alexa.

    I got these from Amazon through Parcel Motel.

    Smart sockets

    Have worked faultlessly.

    Am though they are decent cost, the sonoff is a good bit cheaper with that code.

    However they look a lot better. Much smaller, closer to the smarthings unit, good find
