Thanks guys
Neither of those look to have energy monitoring ?
Only control
Anyone have any recommendations these days for zigbee power adapters that I can use to extend my zigbee network? I canāt seem to find any AU plugsā¦
The Ikea ones work well, they are like $20. They are actually USB powered plugged into a 1A charger so you can plug them in anywhere that has USB.
Thanks mate, is this the one you mean? It seems to be an actual power plug or am I missing another one on there?
Excuse the ignorance, are all of these Tradfri things zigbee? So I can use any of the bulbs, switches, etc?
No. Sadly, I didnt. Given the initial complexity and other things that stole my attention, Iāve not gone back to look at it. Might have another crack at it sometime.
If you have the time, worth helping out with the battle!
Its a crap photo; that does in fact only show the USB charger. The Zigbee repeater is small, about the size of a box of matches, and it plugs into the charger part.
The right bit is the repeater, you can run it off any USB source.
I believe the Tradfri stuff is yes, I have one of their buttons, as well as the repeaters. I also mix and match them with a heap of Samsung Smartthings one, connected to a USB Zigbee dongle.

Sorry I missed that requirement!
I had been wondering the same about the tradfri repeater for a while, and unable to go to Ikea to actually see it!
Now with this explanation, when I look closer at the online listing it says something like ācomes with a power adaptorāā¦ So yes, sounds like a case of terrible product images where they donāt show the important part!
Looks like Iāll pick one up when I can travel more than 5km!!

Iām just using the supplied charging base
Anyone know if the Bunnings Holman WX8 WiFi 8 station irrigation controller can be monitored or automation controlled in HA ?
It claims some Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility, not sure if thatās means HA might control itā¦
Yep missed that. I donāt know of any powerboard with metering.
I emailed them and they said no.
With the closure of Telstraās Smart Home, they will be a dime a dozen.
I have quite a few of them happily on HA. They are made by Sercomm
So the Telstra Smart Home stuff is Zigbee ?
My folks have it, since I do their IT I guess Iāll end up with all that kit.
The Plugs and the door/window sensors are both manufactured by Sercomm and are compatible.
The PIR is from Visonic, itās Zigbee but a proprietary profile so not compatible.
The cameras are wifi and are also from Sercomm and I havenāt tried to hack them as I donāt have one.
OK, sounds like some stuff to tinker with. Will I need to get a compatible hub or is the Smart Home hub still usable ?
No idea sorry. I use HA with Deconz
Thanks for the tip on the Telstra Smart Home stuff. I picked up some sockets with power monitoring for A$15.00 + $9.00 del on ebayā¦great price!
Does anyone know if its possible to have a zigbee plug default to on, when power is lost and restored (without HA) ?
I nearly lost a freezer as I did not notice it was off
ESPHome I can set this in firmware, but would rather zigbee ones of cause over wifi
