Hello!
I’m thinking to buy a couple of Philips hue smart plugs (https://www2.meethue.com/en-us/p/hue-smart-plug/046677552343), and I’m wondering if the Philips Hue integration in Home assistant works with this plugs.
The Philips hue integration (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/hue/) says:
There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:
Lights
Motion sensors (including temperature and light level sensors)
Thanks in advance!
Did you buy the plugs and test them?
It would be interesting to know that since hassio does not support many smart plugs.
Hey! Sorry for the delay.
Finally, I went with the ikea ones. They works perfect with HA
Hey, thanks for the heads up!
I found 4 smart plugs for 20€ each and i bought them since i’m not really a fan of ikea in general.
They work like any other hue lamp and i can turn them on and off líke a light!
The answer to this thread is: YES, the HUE integration works with the smart plugs!
Hi, bought few Philips Hue sockets… any ideas as to why are these recognised as lights and not as outlets / socket / switch?
I think Philips configure it as such.
In the Philips Hue app, it is also put in the category “lights” instead of “accessories” and Philips states that the plug should be used only for lights.
What sensors do you get with IKEA smart plugs? Just on\off switch or also power consumption data?
The IKEA plugs don’t support power metering.
My hue smart plug is used to connect my raspberry HA to the power, like that, if my HA is hung, I could reboot it via the hue app.
Just letting you know: I just bought Osram Smart Plugs and they all work perfectly fine using the Hue Bridge. Only Issue for now: They show up as “LIGHT.Osram_1” instead of like: “SMARTPLUG.Osram_1”, while I have yet to figure out, what the right prefix would be for smartplugs.
I am hoping to integrate a Philips Hue Bluetooth Smart Plug V2 with HA without a Hue Bridge. Has anyone been able to do this?
