Smart Plug with Power Monitoring, works with Hue* and Zigbee Hubs | 13A Smart Socket, Zigbee Repeater, 2-pack

Re-review: The issues mentioned below were raised to support and an innr employee engaged with us via github with all these issues and a couple of firmwares later they are working great. Reporting is now fixed. The voltage protection functionality can now be disabled. Theres nothing left now to dislike and I’ll get a bunch more to use these exclusively for my home usage and replace my remaining wifi switches. Recommended plug and great support from innr. Thanks Gerry. Original review: I have now purchased 5 of these plugs. Connected via zigbee2mqtt and home assistant they pair fine. However they aren’t reporting the power usage states. There is a z2m github issue raised with multiple people complaining of this issue - presumably a firmware bug? of some type. This can be worked around by manually polling the plugs on a regular interval, I hit mine every 60 seconds. But they are keep switching themselves off and then back on again a few seconds later. I have at least 4 of the 5 showing this behaviour and others in the github issue comments reporting the same problem with them cycling the power. It is seemingly random but at least every day or two they randomly turn themselves off and back on again rendering them essentially paper weights as far as I am concerned and not fit for purpose. Edit: confirmed the cause is a ‘feature’ where by the plugs turn themselves off if the mains voltage hits 253v. My home is under 20 years old, in a new built estate and occasionally the voltage would appear to spike marginally above this value briefly. This is turn causes the plugs to turn off. You can imagine what happens when you have your washing machine or network attached storage array connected to one of these plugs and that happens.. I have no reason to believe my mains power is ‘bad’ and one would imagine the national grid monitor such things in substations, but nor do I have any means to change anything. All my electrical devices are fine and other smart plugs such as Hue, TPLink / Kasa and Frient (these are just the other types of plugs I own) do not behave this way and work fine. So my conclusion is the issue is how agressively these plugs are configured in their firmware. I reached out to support to see what they will do, if nothing, the plugs for me at least (and the others reporting the same behaviour) are paper weights.

Works seamlessly with Philips hue - only area that could be better is the pairing process in initial set up and upgrade from standard bridge to bridge pro Purchased to control 50+m of outdoor Xmas lights and Xmas tree lights set for sunrise / sun set to particular time and works perfectly! Saved for future requirements of hue compliant plug - massive saving and great value for money compared to the Philips branded plug but with great connection to the Philips eco system Ease of set up ok - needed google search to locate the correct sequence but worked great once connected

Nice and compact plugs that extend Zigbee network coverage and give power monitoring data that can be used in Home Assistant. Easy to set up and have been reliable since installation. I use these to switch on electric radiators - I use Home Assistant to monitor electricity prices and heat with electric when it is cheaper than gas. The plug also extends the Zigbee network around the house and I think this has really helped in keeping all the devices connected.

I bought these to use with ZHA and home assistant. I thought the outrageous price for these plugs would be worth it for their reliability and use for key appliance power monitoring. I set them up for my network rack and two TV and sound system setups in different rooms. The idea was they would be permanently on for the network rack and one of the audio visual installations, and a night time switch off for the other TV/receiver set up . They integrated into ZHA easily and I thought all was good. The power monitoring worked well and that one setup was turned off every night using an automation. But any time the mains power needed to be shut down, these 3 plugs had to be manually reconnected. Not a HUGE deal but annoying . But then every so often they'd become unavailable which was annoying for the power monitoring, but rendered my night time shut off automation, unusable. Over time these issues became more frequent until recently after becoming unavailable in HA, they will no longer connect. You can get the INSPELNING IKEA smart plug for half the price of this for power monitoring(connects flawlessly to ZHA) and their Tretakt ZB smart plug for a third of the price of this piece of junk. I have 4 of them and they have all failed in less than a year....all 4 of them !!!! Save your money. For smart plugs for Home Assistant, it's IKEA all the way

I really like these sockets, they generally work well and are one of the few models that uses Zigbee and supports 13A at 240V. Used with a Philips Hue bridge so they appear in the app. I've used close to 20 over around 5 years. BUT... They suffer from two major flaws, both in the v1 and current v2 build standard: 1. They rarely (every few months, or more often) disconnect from the Zigbee network and never recover unless removed from mains power. 2. Most units have had to be replaced because the High-voltage relay fails within a couple of years. This especially happens when connected to amplifiers, speakers or phone chargers. But it seems to happen regardless of the connected device type. Also worth knowing that the firmware cannot be updated unless if using a specific proprietary bridge.

These work great with ZHA in home assistant, they're more expensive than the IKEA Inspelning and I'd argue not as good (Inspelning has a child lock toggle so the physical button can be disabled) , but the Inspelning is hard to get. These paired easily and report current, power, energy and voltage as you'd expect. They're quite bulky but the build quality is ok, I'll remove one star for being more expensive, and one star for lacking the child lock, but reinstate one star for being available. I paid £60 for the set of 4 (£15 each), Inspelning from IKEA, if you can get it, is £9 each, I'd recommend inspelning if it's available, otherwise these are the best option I've found on Amazon. I bought some Meross Matter plugs and I wouldn't recommend those if you're interested in fully local without cloud junk, stick to these ZigBee plugs.

Have not had the plug long so cannot comment on its durability. A very neat, small plug. Looks good. A good addition to a Zigbee network and was easy to install. Use it to control a table lamp via my Alexa app. Expensive but a much better price than Hue products which I have been weaning myself off.

I have a lot of these around the house, starting from 2023. They work perfectly with Home Assistant locally over Zigbee and also help me expand the range of my Zigbee network in a subtle way. The plugs themselves are solid and good quality.
