Default Smart plugs/sockets, recommendations wanted

My wife wants to turn on/off a heater in her cabin and thus a 'smart
plug' would seem to be the obvious way to do it.

There are loads of them out there now from various suppliers, so I'm
after recommendations for easy to use, not too expensive and likely to
be reasonably future proof ones.

The requirements are fairly simple:-

WiFi connection from LAN (in cabin)

Control from android phone

Reasonably cheap

Easy to configure and use

Hive looks like overkill and requires an expensive hub. Screwfix have
both a TCP branded one and a British General one at £12, does anyone
have any experience of these? Finally Tesco have Calex Smart Plugs
for £8, are these any good?
