I’ve got an outlet that’s controlled by a light-switch. I’ve currently got a lamp plugged into it, but I’d like to be able to control some lights fairly far away from it, and smart bulbs seemed like a neat way to do that.

Is there something I can plug into the outlet to monitor whether it’s on or not, and then turn the lights on or off based on that? I’m having a hard time figuring out how to Google that.

    Smart plug seems to be the obvious choice but it’s pretty useless if the light switch is turned off. Installing a relay like sonoff mini is probably the better option.
