Orvibo S20

Configuration
1

Hi

I’m trying to add the Orvibo S20 plug to my HASS setup, however cannot seem to get it to integrate.

I am using the Orvibo method as listed under components and have tried both auto discovery and setting IP and MAC address settings

The model is S20 (B25UK).

I have an S20 plug working fine. Did you configure it via the app first? Does it show anything in the HASS logs during startup?

Hi,

Yes I configured it via the HomeMate app first. I will check the logs.

I found why, the plug is the new model for the UK - B25. Does not integrate with HA currently.

Hi, I think I have one old version that works. I then bought a second one and this does not want to connect. Instead of using the WiWo app, I had to use the HomeMate app, which would seem to imply that the new one is not compatible.

Is anyone working on integrating this new model?

From my logs, I simply get:
17-03-14 11:58:10 ERROR (Thread-6) [homeassistant.components.switch.orvibo] S20 at {IP Address removed} couldn’t be initialized

Correct B25 not same as S20.
If you were sold an S20 but sent a B25 ask for your money back…
Same thing happened to me when I was specifically looking for S20.
(Pretty sure that there are no new S20s available in the channel now)

Since I have one I was sent in error (I ordered S20 received B25) I was searching.
As far as I can tell:

  1. B25 uses HTTP, S20 uses UDP
  2. No one wrote a driver for it yet (google) - e.g.

    https://github.com/happyleavesaoc/python-orvibo/issues/7
  3. There is a feature request for B25 here: Orvibo B25

Hi,
Did you make your Orvibo S20 Plug work with Homemate App. Mine just works with Wiwo App; it’s useless. I can’t make it work with my Google Home service. to pair it with Google home, I should work with the Homemate then activate the service.
any help please, their support service doesn’t answer.

Hi, I don’t use native apps at all, nor Google home, I use Home Assistant to control these… Although, I have moved away from WiFi sockets now… they are too unreliable over time and now use Z-Wave instead which is much better

hello,
there is a bug in the integration… where it can be fixed/or how? Once plug is integrated it cant be added to any Area… the issue is following,

This entity (‘switch.lamp’) does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI. See the documentation for more detail.

can anyone report/ fix that?
here is the source> core/homeassistant/components/orvibo at dev · home-assistant/core · GitHub

thanks

Anyone is successfully using in 2024 a S20 with Home Assistant? I can’t seem to add it through the Homemate App or the Wiwo App.

Neither can I, anyone had any luck?

Orvibo stopped hosting the NTP server that was called to get time updates, effectively rendering the S20’s useless.
There is an advanced way to make them work but requires some work: GitHub - chrisbyrneham/S20-Life-Extender: Keeps Orvibo S20 sockets viable by synchronising the time

Another workaround which is not trivial as well is having an OpenWRT router with a port forwarding routing to a custom NTP server
