  • I'm looking for something that will work with google Home and that I can use in outdoor powerpoints. Will these work? Any suggestions for something I can use outdoors?

    Don't think these comply with Australian law so be careful.

    • Wrong info.
      The second product picture clearly mentions they are AU safe.

      • The pins don't look shielded which I thought was a requirement.

        "As from 3 April 2005 the "live" (Line and Neutral) pins of every 10 amp and 15 amp flat pin plug sold were required to comply with the requirements of AS/NZS 3112: 2000, which states that the live pins must be insulated"

        wikipedia so .. you know possibly right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AS/NZS_3112

        • Thats true but no authorized retailer can sell non-compliant products in Australia and this is Amazon AU.
          The pictures maybe from a different source and hence they have mentioned the compliance.

        • @Bippz01: However you are making an assumption here. Assuming if someone was to buy it, taking your 'assumption' into consideration and it turned out to be non-compliant, will you be obliged to take the liability for your publicly made statement? ;)

          @moo:
          Lol. Stop getting high mate.
          Fastest selling products on Ozb are Xiaomi products, ever wondered about their certification and here I am talking about a CE compliant product.
          Dont buy if you are concerned. I am NOT.

        • @Bippz01: Oh no, I'm not concerned at all. Just holding your feedback to account, thats all ;)

        Because a Chinese manufacturer would never lie would they…

        Cant find anymore info on the web about AUCO other than their presence on Amazon and all their ad states regarding certification is " AUCO Smart Plug are certificated by CE". There is no mention of any recognized approval as per NSW Fair Trading:

        http://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/ftw/Businesses/Product_saf…

        As mentioned above, there is no insulation on the active pins and the plug is upside down in orientation, which is a dead giveaway that this is a product that was designed for the Chinese market.

        Also the ad states:
        " Product: Mini Smart Socket
        Rated Voltage:100(Min)-240V(Max)
        AC Frequency:50-60HZ
        Max.Power:2000W
        Rated Current:10A(Max)"

        2000W is not a suitable rating for Australia. The nominal voltage is 230V and at 10A that equates to 2300W. In reality though 240-250V is quite common to see…

        • so whats wrong with the manufacturer citing 2000W for extra precaution? Do you think all your devices run at 10A/2000W? If you check your powerboards that are bought from Kmart/IKEA they all say between 1800-2200W.

        • How do you know that the plug is upside down? To me it looks like they are just taking the photos upside down, it wouldn't be the first piece if bad marketing material to come out if China. If you look at the orientation of the input socket and the output plug, they are the same. Turning it upside down so that it's right way up therefore allows you to have the buttom on the top where it should be, which makes it much more accessible when something is plugged in

        • @nairdajun:

          Sure not everything uses 10A, but it is extremely poor to not design a device like this for the maximum that a user could plug into it (ignoring the idiots who file down 15A plugs to fit into 10A sockets, etc), which is a 10A and 2300/2400W appliance.

          I had a quick look at several power boards around my house and they are all 2400W/10A rated. I had a look on the web sites for a few shops and they are all 2400W/10A too…

          The only way I could see that a power board could be rated lower is if the thermal overload in it is rated for 10A, but I wouldn't have thought that would be allowed under the standards.

        • @Jackson:

          Given the orientation of the power symbol, I think it's pretty safe to say it has been photographed in the correct orientation…

        • @Jackson: xiaomi plugs are upside down. It is a little weird but sometimes it works out better

    • Sorry for the noob question, but would using them be ANY safer if they were plugged in an Australian Certified surge protector power board

    This is NOT Amazon AU selling them, this is a third party seller ON amazon (click the “available from these sellers” and you’ll see.

    Amazon doesn’t have any responsibility in selling AU compliant items if they’re not the seller, the responsibility falls into the third party seller…and I’m guessing they don’t care given they are selling potentially non compliant products.

    EDIT: I just searched the RCM database and this brand doesn’t exist…so the claim they’re approved for use in Australia is probably a lie.

    BUY AT OWN RISK! Personally I would never trust something plugged into my house from a non reputable company that even lies about their certification.

    Can I control my wifi modem on/off with this? oh wait… hmm..

  • would prefer to go all sonoff than this. The sonoff s20 is cheaper and can be flashed to support MQTT.

    if you guys are really worried about CE spend a bit more and get a tp link HS110.

  • its a 3rd party Seller ……….
