I want to be able to trigger things based on whether or not a 120v standard outlet has been turned on or off. Like something that would plug in and just detect power and report on it. There are lots of smart outlets, but I need to see the status of a dumb outlet. What device can I use for this?

How can I detect 120v power (not smart) being turned on and off?
