I’ve yet to have a failure on any device in over a year. I have 8 Arlec’s, some Athom’s, and generic China devices. Rarely switch under load so will see how that pans out. Opening and flashing wasn’t too hard so I would probably use more if required. Not that obvious it’s been opened.

I’ve seen a few reports like this starting to pop up.
Time will tell. Mine have been good so far.
I have a few of the generic china zigbee ones, so far they have been working without issues but I still don’t recommend them without risk as they are not certified as looked up when I first posted about them.
So I’ve managed to get the Arlec MAL315HA and MAL352HA working reasonably well via xZetsubou’s fork of LocalTuya.
Fortunately with this updated version you can export/import device configs.
I’ve setup what I think are all the DP’s with either the original name from the Tuya API, or in the case of the MAL315HA what seems to be close enough to make sense (also based off this post and the 352’s DP names).
I’ve spent a bunch of time just staring at them to see if I could make them any better/simpler, but meh - for your perusal and ideas… with the following caveats…
In the case of the MAL315HA, you can use the light_state binary sensor to see whether the light is on as a pseudo occupancy/motion, and the mode select_option to manually turn it on/off/auto (in my main use case, Node Red switches it to on, then back to auto after a 5 min timer).
For the MAL352HA, I haven’t spent a huge amount of time working out what the switch_pir does vs setting device_mode to auto, but based of setting it via the Tuya Smart app - which now loads the Arlec screen for the device) it seems to be a specific switch just for the PIR. Not sure in what use case you’d have the PIR off but the device set to auto.
Also, on reflection whilst posting this, I noticed that on the MAL352HA it’s pir_state as per the Tuya DP name from the API, whereas the same one for the MAL315HA is light_state.

I have had these running for probably 3-4 years now and no issues. Odd drop out using Local Tuya but stays connected to Tuya integration.
Has anyone using Ikuu light switches managed to find a way to disable back light for TS0001 or TS0002 or anyone for that matter.
Have tried setting through cluster but no effect.
Back on the 29th of Nov (11am) I got the following notification that it was back in stock at my local. I’ve had notifications for stock at Ikea before and this one was very different with it urging me to click and collect!
A limited number of INSPELNING are back in stock at IKEA Canberra. It’s a popular product so consider buying using our click and collect option to ensure you get it. Check for its availability before going to the store.
But I was too slow, and THAT AFTERNOON it was already out of stock!! I don’t know what they are playing at by removing it, but hopefully it’s just a supply issue and they are waiting until they have a proper amount stock before putting it back up again. (ideally not with a higher price tag!)
I can confirm that though they no longer show up on the website, if you have them in your browsing history in the app you can find them. The only store that has any in stock is Richmond, which has 7 currently in stock, and they can be purchased, and there is a shelf labeled for them. So they haven’t been discontinued after all, just a weird rollout.
I’ve got Pixie wall dimmers and I can’t find any simple way to integrate them into HA.
Can anyone point me to the certificates for RCA/SAA approved Sonoff devices?
I can find the DualR3 certificate here:
But cant seem to find any others.
Has there been any efforts to get the minir4 (mini extreme) approved for Australia that anyone is aware of?
If you still have these available, I’m interested. Particularly in the Downlights and Switches, but am happy to discuss buying them all if that’s easier/simpler.

Sorry mate all gone
That’s what I get for not checking this thread more regularly. 
yeah they went pretty quick too on ebay so not bad. i would have give them to you for free! next time i upgrade all my lights! lol
That’s the irony: in most cases, they’re pretty rock solid and are still the most vibrant/saturated of all the smart bulbs. Not to mention they have the widest kelvin range. Though, the CRI of the older bulbs is fairly ordinary. I’m told the newer ones have a much higher CRI, but I haven’t tested that myself yet.
Not specific to Sonoff, but you can search the EESS / ERAC database
https://eessplatform.eess.gov.au/prweb/PRAuth/Public
I find it best to run an advanced search and to query by Trade Name.
Sonoff doesn’t return anything, but Shelly does.
It’s odd that the certificate number in the document you linked (GMA-510112) returns no results in either the eessplatform or the legacy ERAC database.
It does however show up as valid on the JASANZ certification check, so it’s at least valid.
Global mark (the issuer) is supposed to register the certification in eess.
Are there any Australian smoke alarms that are HA compatible? Thanks
Google Nest. Not sure that counts as “Australian” but it’s certainly approved here.
Great alarms BTW - I was so fed up with false alarms and low battery warnings until I found those.
I’m looking at installing CT clamp energy monitoring for our whole home. I’d like to monitor total power usage plus some individual circuits for AC, oven, GPOs, etc.
I have two questions, if anyone can help.
- Do CT clamp energy monitors need to be Australian certified? They are powered by 9V DC and CT clamps are non contact.
- Can I install the clamps myself?
If I need a certified device, can anyone recommend a 6 channel monitor?
I doubt you will find one that meets the legal requirements.
ie: 240V mains powered (whilst also being Aus certified)
My solution is to use a relay interface onto a standard Aussie smoke alarm and connect that to a HA compatible device of your liking such as a Shelly input unit or whatever.
