I have leaned to live with small sacrifices in order to save money, On our RPI2 we use a very inexpensive ($2-$3 US), simple on/off 15 amp switch that plugs into a outlet and any item plugged into that switch is controlled by the switch, We also have more expensive sets that have remote control which we also use for various lights. We have never tried the expensive setups that use android app to control them . It's all a matter of how much are you willing to spend, I certainly would not expect a low cost box to do everything an expensive set up would do.
