These have power monitoring so are a step above some similar priced plugs that dont monitor power.
Also includes 2 USB charging ports than some plugs dont have.

If you are looking for more than 2, you can also get a 4-pack for $50 delivered here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/545812

    Great plugs. Tasmota flashable. Fits in a standard socket side-by-side with the same smart plugs or regular plugs without them hanging out slightly.

    • spookynin on 01/07/2020 - 21:38

      How do you open these up to get to the chip? I can't find any screw holes or anything to open it up.

      • Tacooo on 01/07/2020 - 23:50

        You don't. Use Tuya-Convert to flash them wirelessly.

    • n2h on 05/07/2020 - 17:51

      What is the purpose of flashing tasmota? Can you explain? I don't get the point of this. I just use smart life app from tuya and gg nest mini to control it. What is the benefit of flashing tasmota?

        Tasmota is open source and doesn't report back to anywhere. Your Smart Life app works because the device firmware you currently have connects to the Tuya servers. If/when Tuya go down, go bankrupt, block access to non-Chinese users or more, your smart devices will be useless as the server they use to connect to your phone won't be there.

  • justtoreply on 27/06/2020 - 11:08

    Just note the power measuring on cheap solutions is no good at low load. Try a powermate lite for that.. Apparently some libraries have them if you don't wish to buy

  • C0mbat on 27/06/2020 - 11:39

    I got four for this price in a super deal a month or so back. One has already broken and you can't seem to connect it to Alexa. Paying a bit more for thr Kasa by TP Link is advisable.

    • bargainpersona on 27/06/2020 - 12:13

      Can you please elaborate on the broken one? Did it blow internal components? What were you using that one for? Thanks.

        No, it didn't blow. It just won't power anything anymore but it's probably more to do with the smart part of it. It's not so smart! I've tried a reset and that hasn't helped. So I don't fancy the chances of the other ones surviving.

        FYI, I forgot to say that I got four for $29 so this is a terrible deal.

        • bargainpersona on 27/06/2020 - 13:15

          I have been looking at getting some with the intent on flashing and doing some specialised tasks with them but I have heard more than a few reports of complete failure. I was trying to see if there was a pattern with them being used with high loads.

            @bargainpersona: I've had 4 of them in continuous use for about 6 months and haven't had any issues.
            One is on my washing machine and the usb ports power a GH mini, another is on my TV and ps4, another has been powering my electric heater and the last one really only recharges my laptop but I use it more for the usb ports to charge my phone overnight.

            @bargainpersona: I had one fail immediately. Kogan sent out a new 4 pack to replace it, so I got 7 for $40 a while ago.
            I've flashed most of mine, and one has been running a 700W water pump for about a month or two, no problems.

            I took the failed one apart, hoping to salvage the ESP board, but I was way out of my depth. I did take photos of the internals if anyone needs them.

          His survived for 6 months https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/547715#comment-8917409

    Would these smart plugs work well on a powerboard?

    • 4ustralian on 27/06/2020 - 15:21

      I connected them to 2 powerboards for my TV (living room) and my PC respectively, currently still working ok for 2 months. I feeling Kogan electronic products somehow unreliable, especially deal with customer service remotely. Bought at $50 for 4packs at that time.

    • WazzaP on 27/06/2020 - 15:56

      You can buy smart powerboards so you wouldn't need multiple plugs, but can still have individual control.

  • TomGum on 27/06/2020 - 12:03

    Use to be $39 for set of 4.
