Hi, I would like some product suggestions for smart sockets with measuring functions. Unfortunately, there are so many different options available. I would prefer sockets that do not require Wi-Fi, as I have heard that they consume more electricity. Ideally, I would also like sockets that are easy to install. Additionally, I would like to set up a Zigbee network at home, so the sockets should support either Zigbee or Zigbee2mqtt. I am very new to this, so I would prefer something that is very easy to set up (although this is not essential). Are there any good options available? I would be very grateful for your suggestions.
A little bump on this post.
I have more than dozen zigbee smart plugs but no matter if I’ve purchased them on Ali or Amazon, they all have the same hardware glitches with power monitoring as they all turned out to be (generic) TuYa _plug_1 or _plug_3 sockets. If _plug_1 is upgraded to _plug_3 no downgrade is possible and for me very useful countdown function is lost …
I’d like to know if there are any smart plugs which are more reliable than ones I already have …
Thank you.
