I have re-flashed and installed a few of these recently and they seem to work flawlessly.
As a licensed Electrician they appear to be a solid product. I am only running a small amount of load through them (28w max) and they don’t show any signs of distress. Not sure how they would hold up with 10A continuous but i have seen plenty of certified products that don’t handle there full rated current without failure.
I have no doubt they will pass certification.
Are these Kogan plugs easily flash-able? - https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-smarterhome-smart-plug-energy-meter-5v-24a-usb-ports-4-pack/
Or can they work direct in HA?
They are pretty damn cheap, and look like they wont block the plug next door. I’m looking for some plugs to do power monitoring. I bought a 2 pack of the TP-Link HS110 and they are too wide.
Have you tried this one?
See this post above
Here’s my answer, thanks mate.
Anyone have any other power monitoring plug recommendations (around the $20 per plug mark)? Zigbee (via ZHA) or wifi are both options…
Yep, doesn’t work. 
no luck flashing unfortunately, I miss Tuya-convert
“Doesn’t work” is not anything we can work with.
The tasmota templates page gives all sorts of details like pcb number, product id and so on. Also it is quite a complex setup. Have you done through it line by line and checked you code.
Which part of the code fails?
Apologies, answered that in a hurry. This was the first template that I tried.
I haven’t verified the Tuya Product Id or the PCB Code, etc, but have verified that the MQTT payloads sent on cmnd/diffuser/POWER1 or cmnd/diffuser/POWER2 don’t control the fan or the speed for example. This is true for the light and the water as well.
I’ve even verified the web buttons (below) don’t control the unit
Also, i’ve verified line by line that i’ve entered the right commands in the console.
Hey guys, I haven’t done the research to say this is definitely a good deal, but on the face of it this looks a good deal for some Shelly devices! Happy to hear anyone’s inputs on that.
I’m considering a purchase, but won’t be able to look in detail for a few hours.
Thanks, what’s black friday without an impulse purchase! For the kiwis, they seemed to accept a NZ shipping address too 
@grantc
I’ve got one working through the Local Tuya component. Still needs to be in the Tuya app but you can control it without internet and see the power sensors in home assistant. I’ve settled on this as a comprimise.
Apparently you can manually flash them but the screws are a different security screw than I have a tool for.
Glad it was of use! I ended up getting 4 of the Shelly 2.5’s.
FYI.
Now there are three Shelly devices certified for Australia. They added the Shelly 2.5’s just recently:
https://shelly.cloud/knowledge-base/devices/shelly-25/
https://shelly.cloud/knowledge-base/devices/shelly-1/
https://shelly.cloud/knowledge-base/devices/shelly-1pm/
I’m just waiting on the others. Mainly the Dimmer 2.
I have 2.5’s and Dimmer 2’s.Amazing products. No flashing. Regular firmware updates. And they listen to their user base and respond.
E.g. https://shelly.cloud/firmware-1-9-released-nov-23-2020/
I’ll be doing the whole house once the final certifications get through.
That great news. Does that make my existing shelly=1 legal?
I just ordered 6 shelly1pm direct from shelly europe, should be about $16 each.
Not a legal opinion, but if they have an AU/NZ compliance certificate then I doubt there is anything else required.
Probably worth asking Shelly if any changes were made to achieve Aus certification.
If I’m understanding the following link correctly, the Shelly’s have to be marked as certified.
https://www.eess.gov.au/rcm/regulatory-compliance-mark-rcm-general/
That is not quite what it says.
They definitely have to have the RCM marked on them by the manufacturer or importer, and there are particular requirements on how the mark is displayed. See AS/NZS 4417
