Hi, Anyone know of any electrically safe Australian legally certified wireless switches (in-line like Sonoff) or physical wireless light switches, wireless wall socket etc that work with HomeAssistant, Broadlink RM etc? If so it would be great to get a list going, include specifications, the wirel…

OZ Smart Things sent me a list of things to try for my dead plug (all of which I had already been through) and a return form to complete and return with the plug. Options given are: replacement refund Presumably they verify the item is faulty first before honouring their warranty. I will request…

Anyone familiar with the Zigbee Triple Light Switch as sold by OzSmartThings ? It is not practical or economic to install shelly units behind wall light sockets when renting … so I have some wi-fi bulbs, Arlec PC191 power sockets, and have started to standardise on zigbee for future purchases. See…

[image] exxamalte: One failed last week and I am going to find out if TP-Link is replacing it through warranty. Just a quick follow-up: I have indeed received a refund for the faulty TP-Link KP115 smart plug today. I bought the KP115 smart plug in Oct 2022 from Amazon, and took it into oper…

Wow, @exxamalte I am impressed … but how long did it take you to get to finally live chat with a human being who had authority to go off-script ?

I installed one a year ago to replace a dead Shelly1. I was disappointed to learn they are designed to work with a momentary push button and not a traditional on / off rocker switch. Apart from that it has been flawless, which is more than I can say for the Shelly it replaced. Speaking of dead Sh…

[image] jivesinger: I had a Shelly1PM die today How old was it? Can’t help with the power monitoring, perhaps send Oz Smart Things an email.

[image] tom_l: How old was it? I’m guessing here, but I think 3 years ? While typing that I was thinking 3 years isn’t too bad, but then again, if I had to replace all my IOT devices every 3 years I’d be getting out of the HA game pretty quickly. [image] tom_l: Can’t help with the power…

For those on the never ending quest for a smart plug (with power monitoring)…

I would say Arlec Smart Plugs are decent contender in the “cheap” (and maybe nasty) category. You can flash them with ESPHome.

My notes are over on this thread.

Thanks for the pointer @donburch888 …
