Non ikea Zigbee smart plugs compatible with TRADFRI switch (alien.top)

I just had to climb up to the top of my garage to replace an IKEA smartplug that died. Was just powering some LED tube lights.

What are some compatible alternatives that are available in the US?

This will need to interoperate with the Tradfri on/off switch and Tradfri motion sensor in direct pairing.

If I can direct pair with those and onboard them to a Hue Hub (I have proxy to pull it into my other stuff so non Philips stuff is fine), that would be a bonus.

I think that direct paring is something required of companies that use the Zigbee specification and don't modify it at all, so pretty much every smart plug from a company that doesn't push there own hub.
