    Looks wide and has no energy monitoring, although if you can still use the second outlet then it’s better than most.

    Lol I thought it said $54… grabs glasses to double-check HOLY SHIT WHAT IN THE WORLD?!

      Surely that's for a 4 pack, no? It's can't possibly be each…

      Stupid price.

      Ikea has one for $12, or $15 with energy monitoring. (And yes, Zigbee not wifi)

        I wonder how hard it would be to get it working with a Hue Bridge…
        This page lists the "IKEA plug", but that looks like an older design.

          Works great with a hue bridge. Lots of the Ikea smart stuff works great with hue, even dimmable led strips.

          • Wiser on 05/11/2024 - 12:46

            @Aetherin: That is great info
            What about their down lights?
            Philips hue is prohibitively expensive.

              @Wiser: I've used the IKEA GU10 lights with the hue bridge. Was a bit of mucking around because you needed to use touchlink, but once setup (a couple of years ago) works fine.

              Depending on what you want, you may be able to install a ZigBee controller, puck or dimmer in front of your existing lights. Eg. If you out a dimmer in a circuit, all the lights are "smart" but for the 1 proce if the dimmer (at the expense of controlling them as one block)

          • spaij on 05/11/2024 - 18:05

            @Aetherin: I'm wondering how you register it to the hue bridge, can the bridge just find it (with the Hue app) or do you need to play around with other apps?

            • Nom on 05/11/2024 - 21:37

              @spaij: I use a few non-hue items with my hue bridge, and yes you can just find them in the app like normal hue gear.
              I'm assuming this works in the same way ?

      • Tight Tim on 05/11/2024 - 01:39

        Thanks, perfect for HA!

          Great in HA, I basically use mine as cheap zigbee repeater

    I’m not sure this is a bargain. Isn’t this the usual price?

    Update, I checked on CamelX3 and it regularly drops to this price.

  • cloudie9 on 04/11/2024 - 22:37

    I reckoned this deal was much better https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/860271

    • CacheHunter on 04/11/2024 - 22:49

      Agree, these are chunky (can make spinning socket hard to access), lack energy tracking and expensive (even on sale). I've also got the Tapo and find them better sized and more affordable.

      The one plus of the Hue socket is as a zigbee repeater if using a Hue network with a Hue base station

      Wow, that thread is full of people using them for massive loads like Kettles, Washers, Driers, Heaters - there's even one guy using it for his Electric Car Charger.

      The chance of eventual fire is none zero from any of these uses 🤣

      • Dandaman21 on 05/11/2024 - 07:06

        Using them for rated load is a massive load? 🤔

        • Nom on 05/11/2024 - 21:42
          -2

          Absolutely - I would not trust any crappy piece of electronics with high load items like this, they invariably fail eventually, and if that failure results in fire then that could be life-changing.

          It's perfectly possible to make a remote control plug that can handle load properly - but you just don't know if that's what TP-Link did… And pro-tip: they probably didn't.

          • Dandaman21 on 07/11/2024 - 14:19

            @Nom: It's not high load, it's rated load. Why don't you apply your same logic to GPO's, CB's etc?

            • Nom on 07/11/2024 - 14:41

              @Dandaman21: I do apply the same logic - I would have no fear running a 40A load through a Clipsal 40A component.
              Would I run 40A through a TP-Link 40A component ? Hell no.

              Would you be happy with random unknown brands in your home electrical system ? TP-Link are a bargain basement networking company, not a supplier of robust electrical parts.

              I have lots and lots of experience with remote control power points of many brands - and as I've previously mentioned, they all fail eventually. Some in a few months, some in a few years. If that failure results in a fire, then the results could be catastrophic.

              • Dandaman21 on 07/11/2024 - 14:58

                @Nom: They're as much of an unknown brand as clipsal is, (who have also had plenty of defective components, you clearly aren't a sparky). It's perfectly possible the clipsal can handle the load properly, but you just don't know if that's what clipsal did. See what I did there?

    • NinjaChicken on 05/11/2024 - 14:18

      That is a WiFi device, not a Zigbee device like the Hue or IKEA sockets mentioned.

      Achieves the same goal, but different technology.

      Having said that, I’d pick the IKEA socket over the Hue..

    Unless you’re already in Philips Hue food chain, you wouldn’t want to buy this for sake of ‘smart’ thing.

    • Timm on 05/11/2024 - 07:39

      I'm deep into the Philips Hue ecosystem and I still wouldn't buy this…

    Just got to ikea

  • ozchobie on 05/11/2024 - 05:48

    I have heaps of hue products but this is not something I’d buy just because im in the system. It’s too expensive for what it does lol. Any tuya supported wifi plugs have been working fine for me.
