While I've been waiting to see whether Zigbee or Zwave was going to be the future of home automation, wifi-enabled outlets and switches have quietly been getting popular. But... I haven't been able to find any information about just what protocol they use. So... does anyone know?
protocol for wifi smart switches and outlets?

TCP/IP, HTTP, XML, and SOAP
My Wemos seem much more complex than necessary. An on command to a switch is a big long string of XML looking stuff that has an ASCII 1 in the middle. The off command uses the identical big long string but with a zero instead of the 1.
Anything standard built on top of the last three, or is it ad hoc from there?
