Looks like this Nue / 3A NUE-ZBFLB control via MQTT | Zigbee2MQTT

You can probably buy it on ali, but no guarantee it will be exactly the same as the approved au device.

These work very well, I have a few of them. Bunnings also stock them I think

4249

Thanks! They look really good. They have local control by the looks. I canā€™t find them anywhere close though. Any ideas of the TP-Link Tapo ones use the same integration? They have them locally and are a bit cheaper. https://www.binglee.com.au/products/tp-link-smart-monitoring-wifi-plug-p110

Doesnā€™t look like they are supported.

They do, yes

Mwave has stock ready in 7 days by the look and will post.

4251

Thanks! Will order a couple from Mwave when they home in and see how they go.

Reports are that these are no longer ESPHome flashable. But I believe you can use them with localtuya.

I really like my ESPHOME flashed ones.

The Kasa KP115 are awesome. One of my favourite devices. I now have 20 of them running, and as soon as I see them on sale again Iā€™ll likely buy more.

The device itself is great, and the home assistant integration is great. Actually I generally prefer them over tasmota/esphome specifically for smart plugs, because of ease of setup. No flashing, no risk of needing chip swap, no configuration at all. Takes 2 mins to go from opening box, to device set up and running in home assistant with energy monitoring entities and power switch.

  • They have been on sale for ~$23.xx on amazon and JB hifi/good guys several times, but whenever they are, stock runs out extremely quickly. I last got 5 from JB hifi at $23.20 each a couple months back. The amazon ones in particular because coupled with free shipping (with prime) the value is extremely good - they have been even under $20 on amazon a few times but I missed those sales
  • Stock in general even at normal price ($29.95) is often hard to find

Why they are awesome:

  • Local control
  • Extremely fast and easy to set up, takes a couple minutes and almost all automatic
  • Energy monitor updates are just about instant (1-2second)
  • Reliable, I have 20 running currently on a wifi with over 50 2.4ghz devices without issues

Side note: itā€™s fine to allow it to update firmware, at least in AU. I think all of mine have updated once when new out of box, then never again. It doesnā€™t break local functions.

I have noticed that pre-flashed Tasmota Athom plugs are being sold here for an extremely attractive price:

2-pack for $27.60 with free shipping if ordering over $100, coming from warehouse in Sydney. Does anyone know if these are certified and if they are any good? Being pre-flashed makes them competitive to me, as it puts them back in line with KP115 for ā€˜ease of setup/ease of useā€™. Most other plugs, Iā€™d rather pay $5-10 more for KP115 for the sake of not screwing around with flashing etcā€¦

Does not look like it but Iā€™ve emailed them to ask.

They are not certified for use in Australia. They are looking into SAA certification, possibly next month.

I bought my Kasa HS105 from officeworks so Iā€™m certain that means theyā€™re Aus certified. Is that what youā€™re talking about?

4257

The athom shows promise but has that sneaky show you dollar signs but then at checkout says - hey dude we were talking in US dollars. makes them pricey and no cert means the tp link ones come out on top

How to i integrate Tontine Comfortech Wi fi blanket to homeassistant?

4259

With the tuya or maybe the local tuya integration

4260

Yes, we use Grid Connect with the smart life app as it seems to work better than the grid connect/Tuya app. They all worth together fine

4261

Set one up today. Slightly tedious to do the Tuya set up and get local access codes, but that applies to any Tuya not these specifically. Now set up they work just fine and as electric blankets they do what youā€™d expect.

I used localtuya installed via HACS. GitHub - rospogrigio/localtuya: local handling for Tuya devices. From tuya-cli I found the ids and values that correspond to the physical controllers. Note that the left and right sides are independent devices (LHS and RHS).

Hereā€™s the configuration.yaml for them, you just need to add the relevant secrets.yaml

localtuya:
  - host: !secret localtuya_bed_right_ip
    device_id: !secret localtuya_bed_right_id

Has anyone purchased one of these? Iā€™m thinking about buying a couple and wondering if it was working in zwave-js?

4263

Guys,
just thinking if the following would work. Shelly 2.5 double switch hidden in wall cavity controlling a standard double power point?
The shelly should monitor power and also allow both physically switching on/off with the integrated pp switch, as well as controlling the throughput by the wifi.
The trouble I see is the WAF as the physical switch has the possibility of being active in both up and down position?
Iā€™m just trying to avoid spending over 70 bucks on a new double power point with touch buttons.
I guess in my optimal oz world (yeah the market isnā€™t there) I could buy a wifi (tuya or esp) double power point with energy monitoring and as a bonus two usb ports also switchable. Am I dreaming?
Pat

4264

No. The switch and outlet are integrated into the outlet moulding. You canā€™t intercept the cables to the outlets or switches.

4265

Tom
ah yes - silly me.
Pat

4266

As an added afterthought (while waiting for origin) how smart is a smart home if we have to plug in wall sockets of variable width configurations to get the power monitoring and wifi control?
Thatā€™s the end of rants - i promise.
