The “smart plug” is another big “brick” standing proud of the wall and dangling by the power-connecting blades, which have been forced into duty of load-bearing supports …
I’d like to see Wyze offer a replacement, in-wall, combo outlet. Externally it would look like one of these:

Two traditional AC outlets, plus two USB “charging” ports.
I chose to get a couple of these from Home Depot to power my Wyze Cams rather than use the included power supply brick. So far the USB ports are working fine.
But a “smart” plug INSIDE the wall instead of hanging off the wall would be great.
Is there room in the power junction box for all the smart features? Will the power wiring more-or-less coiled inside the junction box interfere with WiFi? Can the WiFi signals get out of metal junction box — assuming the AC ports aren’t in a modern plastic box?
Anyhow, is there any hope of a smart plug or USB transformer that ISN’T just another brick in the wall?
