smart usb power plug

Hi peeps,
I'm looking for some wifi controlled smart usb power plugs, doesn't need to be scheduled or anything just on or off but needs to be 3amp.

Is there anything on the market that does that?

Thanks

3A USB charger and a smart socket might be the easiest setup here.

yeah I got loads of smart plugs already.... I was just trying to reduce the amout of kit I needed to connect... It's just for me to power cycle my home security hub and pi.. it's not often needed but it's a pain when I'm away from home and lost connect.

What's wrong with a simple electronic timer?

I got a “smart” 4 way extender with 2 usb 2.1a port for under £20 - controlled externally (of the home network) via IFTTT.

Hope that helps!
