No.

There's no need for monoculture - especially on a platform that aims to be decentralised.

Look at it this way - if some town has three gay bars, three metal pubs and three old-man real-ale pubs, it's not an issue for the LGBT community, the metal community or the drunk old men; they're just different places to drink. Possibly the drunk gay old metal fans might get confused, but they sound awesome and are likely welcome everywhere.

...actually, thinking about it, I bet the drunk old men probably do have an issue with all eight of the other pubs they don't go to. But that's just them.

I'm assuming they aren't close enough to just run some cat6 between both houses and have a single instance govern them?

I'll be honest though, although your plan sounds cool as fuck, it also sounds like a really terrifying project from a security perspective.

 

I say I'm looking for recommendations, but I'm not even sure if such a thing exists yet... possibly my Google-fu is failing me.

What I'm on the hunt for is a Thread/Matter 4-or-more-gang UK power strip where I can control each socket individually. Zigbee would also be workable, but I'd prefer Thread (not for any technical reason - I just currently don't have any Zigbee kit).

I'm aware of the Eve single socket wall-warts, but they're not exactly cost-effective or compact!

Any recommendations gratefully received :)
