Question about Amazon Echo Dot 2nd generation

I am looking for a compatible radio-controlled socket (i.e. one that can be controlled remotely via Alexa) Do you have any suggestions because I have no idea which are compatible and which are not?

Sockets that support the WeMo standard are directly supported by Alexa (without having to go via external services such as IFTTT). Unfortunately, I only know of models with Schuko, such as http://www.belkin.com/de....
Therefore, I built one myself. Here are the instructions: https://learn.adafruit.com/easy-alexa...

I use mystrom sockets, which can be controlled via IFTTT. These are compatible plugs in Switzerland. Others from Germany have Schuko plugs
