Price is updated.
We have 200 x Meross HomeKit smart power plugs in stock with a $10 off code for OzBargain. That's $19.95 plus delivery but the same code applies to 5 pack and 10 pack of these smart plugs.
Follow the attached link or just go to homekitaustralia.com.au
If you buy 5 pieces (applying the $10 discount) it works out at $18.99 each(plus delivery), and for a 10 pack with $10 code, $18.99 inc FREE Express Post delivery.
I know this isn't as good as the BigW recent offer but it's better than anything I can see at present, plus we have oodles of stock.
Plugs are rated at 10A or 2400w.
These plugs have RCM (SAA) Australian certification plus are 100% Apple HomeKit certified. The plugs also talk to Alexa, Google Assistant, SmartThings and IFTTT.
You need no additional hub, we just add ours straight into Apple HomeKit. Like most plugs they run off 2.4GHz wifi band but we've had no issues pairing ours instantly and directly to Apple's Home app, right next to the router.
We've set the discount to run from now until midnight EST on Monday 25 January 2021.
Summary of pricing is -
single = $19.95 + $6.55 (standard delivery)
5 x pack = $94.95 + $6.55 (standard delivery)
10 x pack = $189.95 FREE Express Post delivery

              @HomeKit Australia: Huh? I'm not sure what question you're responding to.
              Anyway, why is your business name Homekit which is trademarked by Apple? This is confusing the consumers and frankly not legal in this case.

      From the pictures these looks like Meross and the description also mentioned

      "Should you encounter this issue, you can chat directly with tech support at https://www.meross.com/faq/230.html#/ - you can also email tech support from this page."

      Note: looks like Amazon is currently selling it at $72.24 for 4 with free prime shipping.

    Someone really needs to figure out a way to design these plugs such that you can still use the socket next to them. Also, i'm not sure that this is as helpful as you seem to think it is:

    we've had no issues pairing ours instantly and directly to Apple's Home app, right next to the router.

    • m9 on 21/01/2021 - 14:18

      They can use this Xiaomi Mi Smart Wi-Fi Socket form factor. Have not come across any that's as small and compact as these.

          4 kogan plugs for $40 plus a raspberry pi for run homebridge is still cheaper than your "deal" for 4 plugs.

          • AssociatedHomeKit Australia @ HomeKit Australia on 21/01/2021 - 20:12

            @twitch1979: Yes agreed. We can buy cheaper wifi or ZigBee plugs and sell them very cheap but we've elected to sell only Apple certified HomeKit products. None require workarounds or extra equipment but yes, both of us pay for that.

    Not hard for the rep to include these prices to begin with.

        (standard deliver, costs us $9.20)
        (costs us $11.89)

        You don't have to mention this in all your posts. If this is what you're paying Auspost then you need to look into a Business account.
        With Auspost's Band 5 rates you could be paying as low as $5.37 for same major city, or $7.16 to Eastern states.

        • AssociatedHomeKit Australia @ HomeKit Australia on 21/01/2021 - 14:48

          Thanks but these rates are for east coast capital cities - the same band rate from here is $17.95. I've been arguing with Australia Post for 6 months.

          • m9 on 21/01/2021 - 15:03
            +1

            @HomeKit Australia: Nope. I was calculating from Bunbury WA (your address according to your website). Also $17.95 is not possible when Joe Public can just walk into any Auspost outlet and get 5kg Prepaid Small Satchels for $8.97 each (when bought in multiples of 10), which will definitely fit your product on sale here.

            • AssociatedHomeKit Australia @ HomeKit Australia on 21/01/2021 - 16:08

              @m9: Yes the Business Post generates the $17.95 from here to the east coast. That's why we buy prepaid satchels, $9.20 each or 5% off for 10+.

            • AssociatedHomeKit Australia @ HomeKit Australia on 21/01/2021 - 16:15

              @m9: Just checked our quote from AustPost and its worse than I quoted. We would have to pay $23.38 and $31.52 for Express Post up to 5kg using their "best price" merchant service ….. so we just use 5kg prepaid satchels. Thanks for the suggestions, I'd be extremely pleased if they'd offer lower rates. Happy to entertain suggestions.

                  We've tried just about every single freight option or company we can find. It's a bummer because we have to charge you more and that likely reduces your motivation to buy from us.

      Those grid connect ones are horrible, stay away at all costs. They are just rebranded Tuya hardware and so is the abomination of an app. You won't be able to use these in any other home control system outside of that app, be it HomeKit, Home Assistant or other. The whole Bunnings/Arlec system is a waste of money unless you only want to use their app to control everything.

      • PerthSV on 21/01/2021 - 15:29

          Our plug is 100% Apple HomeKit certified, the link for the plug at Bunnings is for a plug that doesn't talk to Apple HomeKit. These will always be cheaper (or at least they should be) than a HomeKit plug.

  • muddrex on 21/01/2021 - 14:45

    Bought a few of Cygnett ones in the previous deal @ $15 a piece from BigW. Works well for me.

    These ones are Meross. I use their smart garage door opener and they work well at a fraction of the cost against other homekit compatible smart garage door opener.

    • AssociatedHomeKit Australia @ HomeKit Australia on 21/01/2021 - 14:49

      Yes, we are waiting for RCM (SAA) certification before we can release the garage door openers.

    For anyone looking for native homekit, keep an eye on this deal coming back https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/581862

    If you however are happy to use homebridge , you can't go past the Kogan one's for value https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/596575
    Thing I love the most about the kogan one's is there are slim enough to fit in a power board and not take up the next slot.

                @andresampras: Agree that it is a dog move from them if they charge the op more and then list them on Amazon at a significant discount (assuming that there is some sort of agreement around pricing).

                      Didn't you say/imply your buy price is $26 per piece ($18+8)?

                      Which means you're now selling them below cost, taking a $6 hit for each piece?

                      Seems odd. Something's not right.

        • AssociatedHomeKit Australia @ HomeKit Australia on 21/01/2021 - 20:39

          Our price for 5 pieces is $94.95 plus for 5 pieces, plus $6.55 delivery - $20.30 per piece.

            @HomeKit Australia:

            Just checked Amazon and it's $84.99 for 4 pieces

            Sorry but I feel you're getting slimier by the hour. If you wanted to show me a price comparison, why do it after Amazon's deal has ended? That Amazon deal was active when all these comments above were made. Heck it was active even before you posted your original deal.

            Also if it wasn't for Amazon's deal you would have been trying to flog these for $29.30 a piece (5pk for comparison as it's the closest to Amazon's 4pk).

            When you reduced your price 5 hours ago, Amazon's lightning deal was still on. So here's the price comparison:

            • Amazon: $72.24 / 4 pieces = $18.06 per piece.
            • You: $101.50 / 5 pieces = $20.30 per piece.

            You would have earned more respect saying you've tried your best to match Amazon rather than doing the comparison after Amazon's sale has ended and claiming you're cheaper.

      • muddrex on 21/01/2021 - 15:37

        Also, if you are selling Meross plugs, is there a reason that it is not mentioned any where? No offense but I'm often very skeptical when this type of information is not disclosed and by a company that shares the name of Apple's trademark as most people would confuse/assume that this is an Apple product. Even when you are an honest seller, as a consumer I would often shy away from this type of product/company. Just trying to provide the consumer's perspective.

        • AssociatedHomeKit Australia @ HomeKit Australia on 21/01/2021 - 16:02

        • AssociatedHomeKit Australia @ HomeKit Australia on 21/01/2021 - 20:05

          Yes, there's no point having them sit on the shelves.
          I have heard back from Meross and it appears Amazon is selling these goods at $2 less than their cost price.
          This makes it hard for an Aussie small business.
          The Meross name is on our website. We source all our products direct from the factory and often they have no marked name. Because of the volume of GaN chargers we sell, the factory laser prints all of the GaN chargers.
          The Meross plugs do have a Meross tag. I will add Meross to the listing here as well.
          Feedback is always appreciated and thank you for couching it in such a professional manner.

          • muddrex on 21/01/2021 - 21:27

            @HomeKit Australia: Based on my observation, Meross does have good feedback in OzBargain community (I learned about them in OzBargain when I was looking at another smart garage door opener deal). It might actually work to your advantage to market it as Meross Smart Power Plug than HomeKit Smart Power Plug as the latter would make people think you are trying to lead them to believe that these are Apple products as HomeKit is seen as an Apple trademark for 99.99% of the people.

  • Mibo on 21/01/2021 - 15:07

    • AssociatedHomeKit Australia @ HomeKit Australia on 21/01/2021 - 20:08

      Athom are not certified HomeKit - you will need a workaround like HomeBridge software. Nothing wrong with that, it's just that you are adding to the chain.

  • AssociatedHomeKit Australia @ HomeKit Australia on 21/01/2021 - 15:13

    As far as I know, none of the Athom products are certified as HomeKit product. Again, the Athom products I've looked at all run via HomeBridge software. My son runs HomeBridge and is happy with it but there's not the instant response you should get with a genuine HomeKit product.
    These plugs are instant using Siri.
    Hope this helps.
