Been using tp-link smart plugs for a moment. Not really had any problems with them but i want to move to something such as z-wave or a ZigBee. Something that is totally local and does not require a different app on my phone.

I'm a Zwave man. Aeotec ones give very high res power consumption tracking so I can automate based on patterns in usage (can detect when my washers/dryers finish, etc). The Fibaro ones are a bit cheaper but not quite as good (but still haven't failed me once).

    Fibaro isn't a company anymore, so I don't know if those will be available. Here in the middle EU, all shops are out of stock of fibaro stuff.

    I use the aeotec stuff, but those smart plugs are also being not restocked at most webshops in Belgium and the Netherlands for some reason

    I don't think that's true. I am just starting a large project and have no problem acquiring their products in medium to large quantities (16 units needed for this). Their web site is still up, no announcements. I think this is just a regional stocking issue if anything. The one supplier in my country (Czechia) who lists number of items in stock had 145 of the dimmer 2's in stock.
