Not the things that you depend on, but automations that are just for fun

Are the outlets near each other? You may be able to get a wire from one to the other and share the switch leg

Oh they are part of the same 3 socket smart power strip. But at the time I would've had to go to a different floor and get a splitter plug (no idea what to call those things). Adding the automation was just faster. And I can always do this if I ever actually need that switched socket.

Keep in mind what the original question of the thread was.
