Since they’re fairly different products, the inevitable question is why would people want to buy smart plugs that can sync up with Hue’s system? Well, the answer is that Hue bulbs aren’t cheap, and sometimes you won’t want to change an existing dumb light (i.e. one that isn’t smart) to be a Hue light.
By connecting this product to DIRIGERA hub, you get even more out of it and can also control it, together with other smart products, in the IKEA Home smart app.I am only using them as a temporary solution, but after a bit of frustration I was able to add 12 Sonoff S31s to HA without flashing. I did a pull-the-plug test on my internet and they still function without talking to the mother ship. This could mean that most of your house has smart lighting, but a few plug-in lamps aren’t smart. This is inconvenient because you can’t then setup light routines which control an entire room or your whole house, because those darned dumb lamps will still be on (or off) irrespective of your smart light routines. This plug is designed for 120 VAC systems and requires a standard power outlet. This model has an extended operating temperature range that makes it viable for harsher operating environments.
The IP rating of this device is IP20, and it can only be considered for indoor applications. You can use a single smart plug for the controlling of multiple lights and devices. However, the total load on the plug should not exceed its rated power, for instance, 1800 W in this case. Next up, you need to make sure that the smart plug you buy supports Hue. This should be fairly clear: the product information will either say that it’s “Hue Compatible”, or it’ll say it supports “ZigBee”.

I thought that I had removed it – but looks like I hit the wrong button after removing it, so the change didn’t get published. That’s updated now. Reply
I am considering buying four of your Tasmota smart plugs, but can you tell me if they integrate into the new Home Assistant Energy Dashboard so I can monitor them under the ‘Individual devices’ section please? Without having to install any other special add-ons or create counters to gather long-term stats etc. It is important to note that each of the variants mentioned above has a different power rating. For example, the 15 A variant of Innr Smart Plug has a maximum power rating of 1800 W. For the price of 1-2 of these I could buy another WiFi access point, but I’d rather not go that route just to monitor a few loads in some far-flung locations in my house which are well covered by Zigbee, but not WiFi. If you control your smart home through the Apple Home app, then the Eve Energy may be the smart plug for you. It’s built for HomeKit and the future, with support for Thread, the new low-power wireless mesh networking protocol. And, as of a recent firmware update, it’s now Matter compatible, so will work with other Matter compatible systems (we’ve tested it with SmartThings).
Success!
In my experience with the Centralite units I have, there are some subtle differences in the way their units report power use based on firmware revision. It was not a show stopper, it was just odd that what appeared to be two identical devices delivered data differently. Then I updated the firmware. Whether you wish to control devices from home or away, Zignito plugs can be controlled via app or voice command. Perfect for those who wish to intergrate appliances, heaters or entertainment systems into their home automation system. Our Smart ZigBee Plug is simple and easy to use. Simply connect it to your compatible smart Zigbee hub, and then use your voice to turn appliances on and off.
Great Deal
