Get the Eve Energy outlets. They support HomeKit and Matter.

For HomeKit to work, you need to have an Apple TV or HomePod mini at home to act as a hub.

I would avoid WiFi enabled devices. If you add more, they take ip addresses. Bluetooth can have too short of a range.

What is the protocol for the HomeKit or Matter? from the message above, I infer it is neither WiFi nor Bluetooth.
