    Is there an app to control these?

    • FrugalShopper on 09/03/2017 - 15:30

      Yes, the Mi Home app, I use it to control the Smart IP Camera, previously mentioned by another thread.

  • rakeycakey on 09/03/2017 - 15:34

    is this actually cheaper anywhere online? i can't find a cheaper link…?

  • raowler on 09/03/2017 - 15:36

    anyone controlling these from a PC or home server?

    can the data be collected other than to the cloud?

  • Marky66 on 09/03/2017 - 15:41

    Can these be controlled by the Amazon Echo Xiaomi skill like the Yeelight?

  • kingmoron on 09/03/2017 - 15:42

    Interesting au plug . Does it have approval ?

    I have these and I cannot for the life of me get them to show on the Mi Home app — I've tried installing the app on various mobiles, ranging from LG G2, to Samsung S5, XM Note 2 and Moto G4 Plus.

    If anyone has clear instructions, please tell.

    • victorngel on 09/03/2017 - 15:46

      There's 2 versions : wifi and zigbee. I bought the zigbee version thinking it was better not realising that you need the xiaomi gateway to operate it.

      • scrimshaw on 09/03/2017 - 15:49

        The one I bought was this
        https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Original-Xiaomi-Smart-Socket…

        I'm fairly certain this is not the Zigbee variant as the manual that came with the unit(s) had a QR code in which I scanned and downloaded an app. Zigbee was not mentioned in the manual (it is in Chinese)

        • lostinsydney on 09/03/2017 - 17:12

          change your locale to china, and try that.
          i suspect it is a zigbee version from price lol

          edit
          nevermind someone addressed this already.

        • ilikeit on 09/03/2017 - 17:45

          I have the Xiaomi security camera and couldn't install on an ipad or K3 Note. Had to use an old Huawei, then the others synced fine.

      • lostinsydney on 09/03/2017 - 17:07

        want to swap? i wanted zigbee version but i got normal.

    • nerdinary on 09/03/2017 - 15:47

      I had the same issue.

      You can get it to show up by choosing your 'Locale' as Chinese rather than US/UK. App still works in English.

      • scrimshaw on 09/03/2017 - 15:50

        Thanks, will try it tonight.

    • ash2000 on 09/03/2017 - 16:32

      The Mainland Chinese server is the only server that supports plugs. If you have yeelight products configured to another server, you'll need to reconfigure them to the mainland Chinese server also (if you want to control them all from one device).

  • do minator on 09/03/2017 - 15:47

    What kind of outlet are these? Are they chinese? i.e Will I have to use a chinese to AU adaptor to plug it into the socket or does it go directly in?

    • rakeycakey on 09/03/2017 - 15:53

      It's chinese plug which is AU plug upside down. It will plug in fine.

      • Shonky on 09/03/2017 - 20:54

        It doesn't plug into double outlet GPOs very well (in particular) as it hits the switch. Would probably have similar problems with powerboards with individual switched outlets.

        The pins also don't have the extra insulation used these days (I think it is legally required now).

    • victorngel on 09/03/2017 - 15:56

      Chinese plug but can be used upside down with australia outlets. Chinese three-prong Plug - http://www.yunhuanelectric.com/China-Power-Cord-Plug-Flexibl…

    • lostn on 09/03/2017 - 19:32

      It looks like a travel adapter. Might take US and EU/UK plugs also, provided they are the correct voltage.

  • vv4rhead on 09/03/2017 - 15:54

    Few things

    There are 3 versions of these, with the USB port (Newer and less supported by the software) Zigbee (Bluetooth only, no wifi) and non Zigbee (Wifi)

    In some instances you may need to use the chinese locale on the app for a Xiaomi smart home device to function correctly (I had to for both my wifi extender and the Wifi Powerpoint) however once you've got them set up they seem to work reasonably well.

    The Plugs are chinese but require a ground pin to push in the upper pins, you can also just push the ground socket in with a pen if you need to get a socket without a ground in there.

    • wazzoj on 09/03/2017 - 16:21

      Zigbee isn't bluetooth.

    • renza on 09/03/2017 - 16:23
      +1

      The one with the USB port is the older version, not newer.

      And Zigbee is not bluetooth. It's also not a standard Zigbee implementation, and you will need their gateway for it.

      • vv4rhead on 09/03/2017 - 16:35

        I redact my statement, i clearly hadn't done enough research.

        The points RE chinese locale and ground pin lockout are still valid though.

      • ash2000 on 09/03/2017 - 16:41

        Yeah, zigbee has much much lower power consumption than bluetooth.

  • bargaino on 09/03/2017 - 15:59

    Does this have a decent power meter built in?
    And does the app need to be running to log use, or can you query it later?

    • vv4rhead on 09/03/2017 - 16:07
      +1

      No Power meter for these ones. I believe some of the power boards have them though.

      On/Off, Schedule and timer are all the functions.

      • bbtlovebbt on 09/03/2017 - 16:32

        For the Zigbee version (i believe that is what i have - i bought the whole set) it shows powers usage in the application.

    • ash2000 on 09/03/2017 - 16:33

      Only the Wifi powerboard and the Zigbee single plug support remote power monitoring.

      • bargaino on 09/03/2017 - 16:34

        Thanks guys.

  • C0mbat on 09/03/2017 - 16:54

    Quite a good way of controlling the charging of your phone overnight to help preserve the long term quality of your battery.

  • imahippy on 09/03/2017 - 16:58

    I Suppose this doesnt work with Apple HomeKit(Siri) ?

    • bbtlovebbt on 09/03/2017 - 17:08

      Too cheap to work with Apple

    • lostinsydney on 09/03/2017 - 17:09

      no :(
      homekit requires mfi certification, and chip. there is no support for this on homebridge either :(

    • Shaggs on 09/03/2017 - 18:16

      If you have a Raspberry Pi and watch a few youtube videos you can make it work. There are work arounds to make you own homekit server. Search Youtube or google.

      • lostinsydney on 09/03/2017 - 18:24
        +1

        That's for zigbee version. I'm running homebridge for wemo and yeelight.

  • montorola on 09/03/2017 - 17:15

    Hmm what do you guys think of using this at home whilst overseas on holidays?

    Use Wifi Plug connected to a standing light/lampshade and connect to your home wifi from overseas to turn the lights on at night?

    • adrianhughes1998 on 09/03/2017 - 17:37

      Would work. I use it to turn on outside floodlight when required.

    • [Deactivated] on 09/03/2017 - 18:32

      you could, but a cheaper solution would be a simple timer adaptor. Bunnings have basic 2 pack for $10, it'll still owrk if your internet/wifi goes down.

  • supersabroso on 20/03/2017 - 00:09

    Poor deal, these are on Aliexpress for $14.92AUD delivered. That's not even factoring in the 10% cashback that brings it down to $13.43. Great product, works like magic with the motion sensors.

  • kasman21 on 01/04/2017 - 09:52

    I have the MiHome app for android and can see the plug using mainland china locale however the plugs settings are all in chinese. Anyone got it working in English?
    Thanks
