Just answered over in the other community but to keep things joined up, here is that reply:
The problem you'll encounter is that most consumer electronics are made in China because it keeps the price competitive. So you really just need a reliable brand. The main reason to avoid quite a few Chinese products would be the plug sockets.
So.while I haven't used it and can't guarantee it's not made in China (also assuming you are in the UK), then TP-Link's Kasa smart power strip looks like a good option as all that range work with HA. I've used other TP-Link products and been happy with them so it would definitely be an option I'd look at
Haven't used the smart power strip from them but have their smart sockets and have never had an issue
