Wooley Socket CK-BL702-SWP-01(7020) - can I get Power Information?

I am new to this ZigBee stuff, and bought the SonOff dongle before I realised that I already had a working Hue Hub and Zigbee LEDs that I installed 2 years ago. I had to make a decision then and unplugged the Hue and got going with ZHA.

I quickly realised I needed some hubs for battery sensors and bought some WOOLEY sockets that are advertised as having power information and are picked up by ZHA as CK-BL702-SWP-01(7020) - but as dumb switches, no power/energy information is forthcoming (the small-print does say that you need a specific hub to get this).

It MUST be possible with ZHA to get the energy data, but working it out from scratch is somewhat above my pay grade. I found the “clusters” config but every single stat in the ElectricalMeasurement cluster returrns “None”.

I did find the following link for zigbee2mqtt I think, and imagine I could use it to work with ZHA if I had the skills and experience. Anyone got a hint or a suggestion?

I may have a play with zigbee2mqtt - it is still early days for me with just a few devices to play around with and I could switch. I will say the zigbee works remmarkably well. Startlingly well when I look at what is talking to what in the app and find that the presence detector in the kitchen is talking to the socket at the bottom of the garden, 30m away, not the socket in the bedroom directly above it.

Did you get anywhere with this? I’ve just bought a bunch of these and i’m having the same issue with ZHA.

Just got a few of these and a Sonoff dongle for Christmas, and power monitoring seems like an essential feature for any smart plug so I’ll be watching this thread with interest - at least up until the cut-off for sending them back.

I raised an issue in GitHub for this but I’ve decided to return them to Amazon.

Worth keeping an eye on if you’re planning on keeping them.

Thanks, I’d already found that issue and subscribed to it, just didn’t spot that it was you who’d made it! I’m currently torn as to whether to send them back as they’re at least useful as Zigbee routers and I’d imagine power monitoring will be added to ZHA eventually…

I too am using them as zigbee routers - I have quite a big area to cover and they have made a difference. I just use them on things where I am not that bothered about the power usage. And hope that someone much more able than me will fix the power monitoring one day.

Setting up zigbee2mqtt just seemed a step too far at the moment.

It’s already working in ZHA via the bug report above, we’re just waiting for it to get pushed to the main branch. Shouldn’t be too long now.
