Are there any remote control modules or sockets which can be controlled by a Windows pc (Win7) wifi or wired network?

Are there any remote control modules or sockets which can be controlled by a Windows pc (Win7) wifi or wired network?

I have two projects on the go, one to switch on/off a printer elsewhere in the house, similarly some other remote gear. There is a network switch nearby and likely also some wifi signal. The other is to control garden lighting (no wired network) but in range of wifi.

Seems that I can do this using my smartphone, but would, especially for the printer and other gear, prefer to have an icon on the pc screen. I do not have, nor do I want Alexa or simlar.

Thanks, Clive

    Thanks for that.  Its was just that when I look at the adverts for mihome energenie and others, there is always mention of smart-phone apps, alexa but nothing for a windows running pc.  I will dig a bit deeper now, because mihome looks ideal for what I want.
