EDIT: If you don't live near a Bunnings/Officeworks, or nearby ones don't have stock, check out the JB Hi-Fi $24 deal (using Click and Collect) or the Amazon $24 deal (with Prime or with free delivery when ordering at least $49 worth of eligible items).

Same price per unit as the expired back again Bunnings 2 pack deal, however, this is a normal stocked item, not a Special Order1 item.

The Bunnings price is not as good as the now limited stock Bing Lee $29 deal which with the current 20% off store wide code (ending Mon 10 June) comes out at $23.20, but only if you are lucky enough to take advantage of the free in-store pickup.

With Officeworks' 5% price beat, the price drops to $22.75, the best currently available.

Stock availability:

  • Officeworks Morley, WA: 3 units @ 17:00 Sat 8 June (OP)
  • Bunnings Bayswater, WA: 3+ units @ 17:00 Sun 9 June (OP)

Note that this is the model without Energy Monitoring. You need the HS110 for that.

    Not as good as the HS110 which also measures energy efficiency.

      I have the HS110 and i find this feature really cumbersome to set up (maybe it's just me)

    • tempura on 05/06/2019 - 10:45

      i disagree; why pay extra if you can monitor usage via hass.io ?

        I'm confused. You can't monitor power usage in Home Assistant unless you get the HS110.

            @tempura: Don't understand your post as I haven't setup an hass.io system (yet), but, obviously, if it is turning a device on and off then it can monitor the amount of time the device is on. You can then very roughly "guesstimate" the amount of power the device has consumed by multiplying by an "average" power consumption figure (magically pulled out of thin air, or by, wait for it, using a plug-in device that does do energy monitoring to calculate the figure).

            So, if you want to actually monitor power consumption with any degree of accuracy, you need to use the HS110 (or equivalent).

    I've got the HS110, and as much as I like the brand name aspect, it's good how other brands are coming onto the scene for cheaper, on plugs and bulbs.

    This one is cheaper, with the same power limit, with the added benefit of a 1.5A USB port.
    Specs

    Not bad!

    • AlienC on 05/06/2019 - 10:46

      Does it connect via bluetooth or wifi or both or just one of them?

      How long does it record the power usage and what kind of graphs/charts/info can you extrapolate from the app?

      Can you use a desktop browser to utilize the smart plug or just the app?

      Really wanna buy the HS110 but it does not really get cheap enough for me imho so have been holding off.

        Does it connect via bluetooth or wifi or both or just one of them?

        All, or at least the majority, of smart home products are 2.4GHz Wifi. No BT.

        How long does it record the power usage and what kind of graphs/charts/info can you extrapolate from the app?

        Haven't delved into it that much. Not something I care about.

        Can you use a desktop browser to utilize the smart plug or just the app?

        App only afaik

      • tempura on 05/06/2019 - 11:13

        Can you use a desktop browser to utilize the smart plug or just the app?

        yes, you can use desktop to control your smart plugs via home assistance or domoticz.

      • ewand7 on 05/06/2019 - 17:00

        At the end of the day, they still have to pass the necessary regulations to be sold at a major store in Aus. It's not like you're getting something from HK directly

                @tempura: Probably because it's fairly obviously implied in the comment that as "It's not like you're getting something from HK directly" the cheaper "generic" will do.

      • LowRange on 05/06/2019 - 11:50
        +12

        This comes up all the time. And imho the Brilliant plugs are better, not just because they are cheaper and have a USB. But also because they are slimmer and dont tend to block the adjacent sockets like these huge TP-link plugins.

        Also the Brilliant plugs can use either the Smart Life or Tuya apps to control them. These apps can control 1,000's of other products like motions sensors, temp sensors, water leak sensors, fans, the K-Mart Mirabella Genio bulbs, smart products from Kogan, Ikea and so on. So you can control more things under the one app, and the app has more functionality than the TP-Link one.

      • aussieolfaction on 05/06/2019 - 12:03
        +1

        I'm not sure what is "generic" in this context. There is a brand name, and it's brilliant. It's being sold at bunnings, so it's passed through regulations and will come with a warranty. I trust the local regulations, and do not particularly care what name is printed on the product. It's not as if tp link is manufactured in Japan either, so why should I pay a premium? I couldn't care to spend more money not to get something that lacks an usb port (in comparison).

    • Daisy on 05/06/2019 - 11:59

      The USB port is just a gimmick, I have one of these and you cant control the USB port separately

      • spackbace on 05/06/2019 - 12:05

      It's a smart plug. Allows you to turn things on from anywhere in the world using your phone.

    • AlienC on 05/06/2019 - 10:45

      The HS100 is basically a smart plug so you can turn whatever is connected to it on and off using your phone app (bluetooth/wireless).

      But the HS110 is better which this is not as it measures energy efficiency also in that it measures how much power is being used by the plugged in device so you can check if your fridge or PC or TV or because it is winter now your heater is using a lot of power etc.

      • tempura on 05/06/2019 - 10:47

        so you would pay the extra just for the monitoring function?

          I would. (When the price of the HS110 drops quite a bit more, though.)

        • AlienC on 05/06/2019 - 12:06

          I don't know if I would pay extra for it but in this case I have to unless I can find a standalone cheaper energy monitoring solution.

          In fact I don't really need the smart plug function just the energy monitoring lol but I have not found a plug in device for just energy monitoring.

          • robinCTS on 05/06/2019 - 12:59

            @AlienC: You mean a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth enabled, energy-monitoring-only plug-in device, so it can be accessed remotely, right? 😉

            (There are plenty of dumb energy monitoring plug-in devices available.)

            • AlienC on 05/06/2019 - 13:18

              @robinCTS: Yes a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth enabled, energy-monitoring-only plug-in device, so it can be accessed remotely.

              Can you link me some dumb energy monitoring plug-in devices and some standalone Wi-Fi/Bluetooth enabled energy-monitoring-only plug-in devices.

              To be honest I need both but for some stuff like the fridge/washing machine I might need a wireless solution but for stuff like my PC/heater setup I can use a dumb one but I mean if it is not too much price difference I would probably go all wireless just so I can have all the data in one centralised location in an app or web browser or something.

              • robinCTS on 05/06/2019 - 13:57

                @AlienC: Don't know if you can get energy-monitoring-only smart plug-in devices.

                For dumb ones, Jaycar do at least two:

                Bunnings carry an Arlec branded one.

                Finally, here's the cheapest one I found on eBay.

              • INFIDEL on 05/06/2019 - 19:38

                @AlienC: Aldi sell dumb energy meters with good size displays once a year. (Gave up on my Jaycar energy meter due to small display.) Stock is often left over after sale date - selling for around $10. Work well.

                Aldi model in use for several years graphs energy use (not in later models). Currently used to monitor power consumption of fridge bought in Deal a week ago.

                For most use you don't need these permanently connected - just a short period of monitoring to understand energy use & optimise settings.
                Energy meters for consumer use are not accurate for low consumption devices.

                Bought a couple HS110 @$31.20 last year. Power consumption measurements can be programned to control tasks. But I've never found a necessary use for that.

              @strayan: That is honestly perfect but yeah way too expensive would probably go with the HS110 at half price over that probably.

      You should always put the Powerline directly into the wall socket, then attach this smart adapter to the powerline.
      Powerlines often fail when you put it behind a powerboard or other device.

      Yes. A deal has already been posted for that.

      I've also added the info at the top of this deal.

    As it seems this deal is gong to last until the end of the month, I've updated it with some stock availabilities.

    Feel free to chime in with more. Please include the quantity, store name, state, date and approximate time. I'll update the deal to include them.

    Can you manage these plugs by 2 different users at the same time?

      Can you manage these plugs by 2 different users at the same time?

      Yes.

      If you wish to do so via the Kasa app for a local-only setup (no Kasa account), for the second and subsequent users' mobile devices, follow the same procedure as when adding a new HS100 with the following slight changes:

      1. When you get to the "Powering Up Your Smart Plug" step, ignore the fact that the Wi-Fi LED is not a steady orange and press Next. (The LED should be a steady green indicating that it has already been set up and is connected to the local Wi-Fi network.)
      2. At the next screen, to get the LED blinking orange and green you need to press and hold the settings button at the top of the HS100 for 5sec until the Wi-Fi LED changes to orange, then release the button and wait for a further 15sec.
      3. Continue as per normal except that when a Preconfigured Devices dialog comes up you need to press the Do Not Reset button. (If that dialog doesn't appear, don't worry. It just means you held down the settings button for far too long, but the HS100 will still be correctly linked to the additional user's Kasa app.)

      I haven't setup up a Kasa account yet, but according to the documentation, when other mobile devices log in with the same account, settings and configurations will automatically synchronise, so no explicit linking would be required.

      Note that you have no choice but to use the same Kasa account for all users wishing to control the same HS100 as smart devices can only be associated with one account.
