I have even pushed this further and fitted an IR vishay module and now have the flexibility of not only wifi control but can control via my Samsung tv remote using the spare buttons at the bottom of the handset.
Would be much easier than ripping every socket apart and fitting an ESP.

Sounds like a lot of people are doing this. But I really want to get away from the dumb 433MHz transmitter. Once I have wifi on the socket, I can do more complicated things like read the on/off status of the socket.
