I ended up ordering for zigbee smart AC receptacles for 18 bucks a pop on Amazon to make it simple. Now I can simply control everything from the hub. I can already control the Amazon smart plugs through Alexa but the main reason I wanted to be through the hub so that I can have a rule that toggles all my lights in the house when we leave at night depending upon the time. Plus I wanted to be able to control the smart plugs with my smart controllers.
