In short, this plug connects to everything, and makes the job of controlling dumb devices easy. A clear winner. You’ll want to head over to the WebUI → Console, then type PowerDelta followed by a number, and hit enter. For example: By connecting this product to DIRIGERA hub, you get even more out of it and can also control it, together with other smart products, in the IKEA Home smart app.
Having never used zigbee or zwave, I found this video basic, but informative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8-VNIQQiQE I used at the beggining (2 years ago) TP-Link smart plugs, but I moved away from TP-Link (very expensive if you want to install a lot of plugs) to use Sonoff Smart Plugs (S26 and R2 with 4 channels)… Since I am willing to record also the consumption of the equipments, now I started (two months ago) to use Meross Smart Plugs (model MSS310) and Shelly’s … Meross are low price and Shellys a little bit more pricy (but can be incorporated in wallbox) and are able to report power consumption… All are working via Wi-Fi… Sonoff, Shelly and Meross can be managed on the LAN (no need for the cloud but some can work with the LAN and/or the Cloud like Sonoff)… The SONOFF S31 comes with an integrated overload protection mechanism. The smart plug restricts the power supply to the connected load upon reaching the overload protection threshold. Both the SONOFF S31 and SONOFF S31 Lite are smart plugs enabled with Wi-Fi. However, the SONOFF S31 offers a few additional features listed below:What this means is that if you have a fancy dimmable lamp, when you plug this into a smart plug and import it into Hue, you often won’t be able to dim the lamp with any automation (i.e. light routines) that you setup. Be cognizant of quality/safety. The GE unit you saw probably is properly UL’ed and such for the US, the CentraLite units were the same. And yes, that adds to cost. The Sengled Smart Plug enables homeowners to automate their non-smart home appliances and devices. This plug supports the Zigbee 3.0 wireless protocol and can be integrated into an existing smart home automation network. With this plug, you can turn your devices on and off remotely.
The Meross Smart Fast Charging Power Strip MSP843P connects via Wi-Fi, and can be controlled through the Meross app. This gives simple on/off control, plus you can set a schedule and add an automatic power off to each plug after a specified amount of time. More importantly, the price of this product makes it cheaper than buying three individual smart plugs and plugging them into an extension strip. Each setup/system/hub maintains a database of ‘capabilities’ for every device that is supported by this setup/system/hub. Is there a ‘standard’ for these records? Of course NOT. Are the records different between setup/system/hub? YEP! I paired one and it came right up in ZHA. Even without the 30% off, this is a pretty good price for an energy-monitoring Zigbee smart plug. Really impressed with the wealth of information you get out of them, got my custom Energy dashboard all setup with them.For instantaneous power reading, yes, all will show fairly accurate values. The flag I raised is related to the sampling rate of the devices and using these values to calculate power usage over time. Basic Kilowatt Hours. The point of my picture was to show the possible answers to the question, ‘What did that pot of coffee cost to make?’. As you can see most of the power hungry home appliances we use, use simple power on and off cycling to control things like temperature, cooking power, refrigeration level… This leads to very ‘spikey’ square wave power usages. If a device cycles power several times per minute and the power monitoring device only samples a couple samples per minute, the ‘area under the curve’ is going too often be very inaccurate.
Leave your home feeling calm by knowing that the coffee maker, lamp or other household gadget is turned off. Philips Hue is a range of smart lighting owned by Signify (previously owned by Philips Lighting). They sell dozens of different lights and bulbs, and some pump out just white light, whilst others can produce 16 million different colors. You can control your Hue lights in the Hue app, along with via Alexa and Google Assistant integration. You can also setup light routines (where groups of lights will change color/turn on/dim at the same time), along with adding third party features via the Hue Labs which can sync up with music, simulate Star Wars battles, and a whole lot more. Why To Buy Hue-Compatible Smart Plugs The smart Plug is very easy to set up and ideal for both living and workspaces. When you’ve finished your day at the office, simply switch all electrical items off and leave knowing your space is safe.We test smart plugs in the same way, so that we can compare different models from different manufacturers. For each plug we make sure that we connect it via all methods available. We also see how easy it is to plug in other devices next to the smart plug. Use voice command to turn on your home appliances – works with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Siri Shortcuts. BlitzWolf BW-SHP13 (OEM version of Tuya TS0121) → https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/issues/605 Samsung SmarThings setup/system/hub, I have found to be the most comprehensive, but it is still not 100%. For example, it has been a while, but I do not think they support Hue. But they support CentraLite, Ikea, OSRAM among others. You can start with the function that suits you and your family’s life, and you can build on that,” says Rebecca.
