    inb4 Aldi posts on their Facebook page that this has been recalled.

    Can't make sure enough - each outlet, 240V and the USB, so 10 of them in total, can be controlled and monitored separately, right?

    So the app on a phone shows 10 different switches and 10 readings?

      1 device and then when you tap into that device, you would see the different options and readings.

      I think only the 240V outlets are controllable. Because it says "outlets"

      vs USB ports. I think USB is always on.

      I picked one up the other week, you can only control the single 240v point… It's a nice enough board but no, doesn't let you individually manage the points… The hunt continues…

      • chrisie on 28/03/2024 - 09:30

        Yes my thoughts as well

        Just to confirm - you're stating that only one of the six 240v outlets can be controlled?

        Ability to monitor energy and remotely control all outlets via Wi Fi

        Interesting…

        @nebakke and @chrisie

        You could always try and see if you can source one of these as it says it can individually control 4 sockets independent via the app.

        I have a few of the Ikuu GPO sockets which were supplied by a local lighting shop in Melbourne and cover indoors and outdoors and all are individually controllable via the app.

        • chrisie on 28/03/2024 - 14:38

          Thanks :)

      • CauseNEffect on 01/04/2024 - 17:28

        Try the tp-link tapo p300.

        Individually controlled outlets via the app. 1x usb-c and 2 usb- a.

        Pricey at rrp $69 but has 5 year warranty.

    • BargainGain on 28/03/2024 - 09:49

      It only provides data for the board as a whole, not each plug. I got one hoping it would provide individual control and monitoring but kept it anyway. Tuya app is a little dodgy but does the job most of the time. The board seems to be decent quality.

      Thanks for all the replies.

      Looks like you can monitor and switch on/off the entire board, not individual devices connected to it.

      I'm pretty sure it's useful to some, but also useless to many.

  • Szemen on 28/03/2024 - 09:35

    Does this have mounts underneath?

    Have one of these from a month or so ago
    Good quality compared with a Blaupunkt from Coles where sockets all non-contact making
    Good quality build, Wifi - but unlike my Lemovo Powerboard, you can NOT switch individual sockets on/off You can only read power for entire powerboard, and switch entire powerboard on/off
    Ust noticed this is only 6 sockets the one I bought in February was 8 outlets

    Due to unruly feline activities in my house, I now need these to come with a plastic shield/cover. Anyone has ideals as to where might I find some? Either that or I need to buy an old school cabinet.

    The Kogan one I picked up some time ago, unfortunately seems to be the only decent choice for individually controlled sockets, happy to hear of any other options.

    • RichieVn on 28/03/2024 - 13:34

      link?

      • Rorschach on 29/03/2024 - 10:22

        Ugh, I thought I had linked to the actual product, but it seems different.
        Can't find it anymore, thiswas mine.

    For those looking for a board that can have sockets individually controlled, look at this

    https://mercator.com.au/products/ikuu-smart-wi-fi-outlet-pow…

    This is the Oz version and not the NZ version as per a couple of my earlier comments. To be honest, I think they are the same either way.

    I'm not saying they are the cheapest of things but if its a specific use case, then sometimes you have to drop the cash. (I was quoted $130 for one).
