Had this thought looking for an outlet timer recently. There doesn't seem to be anything in between a displayless smart plug and these ridiculous tiny display, crazy button interface things that require referencing a manual every time you want to change something. Smart outlets are great, but when you are standing right in front of something or you want other people to be able to easily program something and have a quick visual reference of something like a timer on time, a user friendly interface would really be nice.

I'm quite happy with my Tasmota outlets. They don't have a display, but I have a thing with a display already with me, so why would I need another display at the outlet, which would make it bulkier and more inconvenient to use.

I guess you don't. I gave the reasons that I do
