ZigBee Smart Plug 4 Pack with Real-time Energy Monitoring,15A Outlet, Zigbee Repeater,ETL Certified,ZigBee Hub Required,Work with Home Assistant,Compatible Echo Devices and SmartThings

These THIRDREALITY smart plugs work perfectly within Home Assistant (I’m using ZHA), and the setup was smooth. They paired quickly, and I love the real-time energy monitoring—it’s great for tracking usage. The compact size doesn’t block the second outlet, which is a huge plus. I’ve had no connectivity drops, and they also act as Zigbee repeaters, which improved my mesh network. It’s a solid value for four plugs. Just remember, you do need a Zigbee hub to get started.

Manual states that they are good for up to 15 amps, 1500 watts. Looks like it is good for it. I am running 1200+ watts through one right now. I thought I had killed one. I was wrong. We seemed to be having another power problem that cause one unit to flake out. A power outage the other day that turned out to be a bad connection at my house electric company meter proved that the socket itself had not gone bad. It was just 'scrambled' / 'confused'. The manual for these tells how to perform a factor reset. I did. It still would not show up in my zigbee devices. It took a lot of fussing to work out it was stuck in bluetooth pairing mode. Eventually I worked out how to get it out of that mode and become visible again as a zigbee device. Major pain in the butt. But it is back online and works correctly. So, verdict? It does work. It is responsive to zigbee commands. It works fine with household portable heaters. I took my newly recovered socket and put it onto a heater that has a nasty bug: If the power goes off at the heater, when it comes back on it is running at full power, with no high temperature limit. So I put it on the socket, and set the socket to not turn on after a power loss. That takes care of the risk if we are out of the house when a power outage occurs (however brief). I also put it there so I can monitor power use. That is a great feature on these. I can remotely see how much power the heater is drawing, and turn it off if I need to. Even when I am off in the wild world of fast food restaurants, or some such. Worth buying? Yes, if you are me. For the two reasons I noted above. If I go pickup another thermometer unit, I can setup a script that watches room temperature and can turn it on or off as needed automatically. Exactly what these are built for. I still stand behind the comment below about not using them for things like motors (that do not specifically have a 'soft start' feature). Those can kill any electronic switch not built for the power draw spike. ------ Old review.. take two grains of salt - I retract it.------ It looks like I managed to kill one by plugging in a room heater into it. This plug works great with Home Assistance , using Zigbee2MQTT. I could see from the power usage sensor that the heater was drawing up to 1300 watts. It seems to work fine. They have been connected together for a day or two. I even wrote an automation to turn it on in my home office before I start work. Just a few hours ago, I turned it off. But it did not turn off. The manual power button works on it. So I followed the instructions on how to wipe it back to factor default and re-pair to my Zigbee network. Removed the device from Home Assistant (HA) and stepped through pairing again. There she is! Add it back into HA and it shows up as a Zigbee Smart Plug from ThirdReality. But.. during the paring process there is an 'interview' stage where HA works out if the device is reporting sensor data and its attributes. This never completes. I bought the four pack and have only used two. So I delete this plug from HA and paired up another one. It paired up quickly and completed the 'interview' instantly. So... yeah.. Maybe just a bad one. Maybe I fried it. I have put the newly paired plug back on the heater. We shall see if it holds up over the next week. Outside of that consideration, I haven't had these very long. Not long enough to give a real review. Just share something you should know. Last little nugget of knowledge: Electronic switches (smart or just a timer) do not do well with major load spikes like running electric motors. That is why they are frequently suggested as not the right solution for things like pond or well pumps. You just burn them out. They do make electronic switches built to survive that workload. I will guess this is not that kind of switch. Be that as it may, so far these are working fine on low power draw workloads (like my desktop PC)

Great device, affordable price, and pretty consistent so far. All 4 of them paired with no problem via ZHA on Home Assistant. They also have been a good repeater to the furthest part of the house and all reading good LQI. Energy Monitoring was nice touch although I had less intention of relying on this feature at first, which eventually became helpful in automating some of the small appliances I wanted to test out to start with. I had not had a plan on plugging in heavy load items while it says it’s 15A to be safe. But connectivity standpoint, size, the data that can bring back for my dashboard for monitoring have been pretty reliable. Love the Firmware update OTA. Definitely a good solid option of ZigBee Smart Plug.

I bought these because I was tired of buying smart plugs from other brands, that would eventually drop off the network and become unresponsive. This does not happen enough then, however, it happens often enough to be really annoying. Because this brand uses Zigbee in many products, including these, I bought these hoping the self healing properties of this protocol will allow these floods to stay online for much longer, and not be quite as flaky as other brands that I have tried before. Setting them up inside Home Assistant was straightforward, so far they have been rock solid. However, it has only been a few weeks, so it is too early to tell whether or not these will be more stable than my previous smart plugs for other brands. However, I hope they will be. Although these plugs are not compatible with Apple HomeKit (unless you use the app which I don’t), it was easy enough to expose them to HomeKit via Home Assistant, which is a nice touch. So in conclusion, I am happy with this plugs, now only time will tell whether they are a lot more stable than than many other brands that I have purchased over the years.

Works with Philips Hue hub and app BUT you may need to update the firmware first. Bought these as they are Zigbee and hoping they would work with my Philips Hue hub. Tried as a might, could not get them to connect. I was about to return but figured I would use their app and see if I could get it to work and sure enough, if you connect to the app (using Bluetooth which is a process), you can check for a firmware update and once I updated to 101_1.01.01 I was able to pair to the Hue system using the Hue app. You have to get the device into Bluetooth pairing mode (Hold buttong while unplugged for 5-10, plug it in while holding the button, continue to hold the button until it lights red, then let go of the button and do a double click - it will then start to flash with green/blue color and is ready to pair). Once in BT pairing mode, use the app to connect. Follow the instructions online! Good Luck! FYI - no energy monitoring from the Hue App so far. (I control Hue typically through Home Assistant).

Overall I'm impressed so far. Compatibility with Home Assistant using Z2M is perfect. The build quality seems decent. Updates are quick and graph very nicely with Home Assistant. I was impressed with all the data it provides, including AC frequency, amps, voltage, wattage, power factor, tracking a running total of kWh used. It also had a reset signal to reset the total kWh used. Power on/off works great and it has power loss options (on/previous/off). It even has a built in timer to turn on or off the plug.

J'ai acheté ces prises intelligentes Zigbee et j'en utilise maintenant trois dans la maison (ventilateur sur pied, cafetière et lave-linge). Je suis vraiment impressionné par leur performance. Le pairage avec mon système Home Assistant (ZHA) s'est fait sans le moindre problème. La fonctionnalité de mesure de puissance électrique en temps réel est un vrai game-changer pour les automatisations avancées. J'ai pu transformer ma cafetière ordinaire en cafetière intelligente en détectant quand elle est en marche et arrêtée. Même chose pour mon lave-linge - je reçois maintenant une notification quand le cycle est terminé, juste en surveillant la consommation électrique. Bonus : ces prises agissent aussi comme des routeurs Zigbee, ce qui a considérablement renforcé et stabilisé mon réseau maillé. Depuis leur installation, mes autres appareils Zigbee sont beaucoup plus fiables. Seul petit bémol (et je chipote vraiment) : elles sont un peu larges, mais c'est le cas de pratiquement toutes les prises intelligentes sur le marché. Ça ne bloque pas les prises adjacentes dans mon cas. Pour ce prix, c'est un achat sans hésitation. Je les recommande sans réserve!

O plu funciona perfeitamente com Philips Hue (sem medição). Muito importante! Precisa de atualizar ele antes. A atualização é direta pelo APP e bluetooth, não precisa de nenhum hub ZigBee. Feita a atualização basta resetar o plug novamente e adicionar. Nas primeiras tentativas ele não apareceu no App Philips Hue, mas depois que tirei da tomada e resetei, consegui adicionar. No aplicativo HOME o plug entra como luz, basta alterar pra plug. Ele onsegue puxar a informação do Hue. Isso é ótimo, diferente dos plugs paralelos ZigBees (Hue + Home) que eu tenho.

Mi antena ZHA lo detectó casi de inmediato y el emparejamiento fue rápido, solo el firmware se tuvo que actualizar, y dos días después de instalarlo ha funcionado genial Da información también de electricidad en uso, recomendable

Excelentes. Se integran sin problema a Home Assistant usando Zigbee2MQTT, y sirven de repetidores fortaleciendo la red con buena señal. Los uso con un Sonoff ZB Dongle-E conectado a una mini-PC Intel N100 corriendo Home Assistant en una máquina virtual en Proxmox.

Highly recommended, I have 8 and I plan to add more to my network. Perfect to automate the "reboot" of some devices (router, modem, security system, etc.) and to monitor the energy consumption (like dehumidifier). Pros - Small, excellent size, fit almost everywhere. - Pair with Home Assistant Zigbee2MQTT instantly without any manual config. - Robust signal, act like a router. Cons - Minor issue, sometimes you cannot update the device through HA Zigbee2MQTT, you can send command and it works, but the updates don't work. I guess the location of these smart plugs aren't ideal (near a wifi router or behind a metal drawer, but I would expect the update to works very slowly instead of not working at all. I have to move the smart plug, do the update and put it back. Other - If ThirdReality would make Zigbee power bar I would be really interested.
