Winter's coming up and I'd like remote control for car engine block heater. I'm looking at a Ledvance outdoors ZigBee power socket and a Philips Hue bridge. I gather the bridge needs wired internet connection, but after that I should be able to toggle power remotely from Philips Hue android app, right? Can I expect the power socket to report on/off status in the app? (Status confirmation is something that's missing in cheaper options.) And pretty much any ZigBee device should work as a repeater if there's need to extend the range?
