Are there any other there besides the Jasco 43132? I thought that was the answer to my problems and then I connect it and find out it reports as a light. Which is a problem when a lot of my automations have a blanket, turn off all light.xxx devices. I know I can add exceptions but really dont want to.
You should be able to change the device type - some of my power sockets added as lights, and had to be manually changed to switches to avoid exactly the same scenario, in which I had automations which switched off the lights, and with the switches reporting incorrectly they switched off too!
Modifying the device type is actually pretty easy (well, if you’re using ZHA anyway)
Someone else in another thread pointed me to that a few minutes ago and it worked, thank you.
But I’d still be interested in alternatives. Seems like there are many more wifi outlets that have monitoring but I like Zwave/Zigbee cause then I get use as a repeater too.
You’ve got more options in the US than we have here in the UK - I’ve only found two zigbee in wall outlets in the UK, and only one which does power monitoring, and it’s normally around $74 for a double socket!
The one zigbee one (jasco) I found costed me $50.
Are those Jasco any good, it’s been a few months since you posted, I would like to get your opinion to see if they are worth getting.
I’ve got 3 or 4 of em in the house, no complaints.
