EDIT: Hi everyone another 100 units have been added. Go get them!!

Hi everyone,
I have been working on this deal with the Rep for over a week now. This is the Non-Zigbee version of this plug so can operate with the app on your phone and does not need the Home Gateway. My original code was posted previously by another user, but I didn't think the price was good enough before, hence why I didn't post it myself. I got another $2 USD shaved off and is now possibly the cheapest we have seen on OzBargain.

As always it is limited to first 100 (99 now!), 3 times per account, AU, NZ only!

Main Features:
• Original Xiaomi mi smart WiFi socket for daily use
• Mobile phone remote control, you can switch power supply optionally when not at home (Mobile phones must be connected network)
• Overload protection, safe to use
• High temperature resistant, 750 degree high temperature fire resistant material, safe to use
• LED indicator: Hidden lights, with downy light at night, easy to notice
• Timing switch, close some home appliances in long-term standby state, also can make some household appliances intelligent, east to control
• The case is made of 750 degree high temperature flame resistant material, interior is made of 0.6mm high quality carobronze, plug is made of 1.5mm brass, very safe
• Easy to use stand-alone application: Xiaomi smart socket can use phone APP available to implement its action, which not only has a simple interface, but it is also easier to set up
• It is small and light weight, intelligent and safe, you can take it along during your travel
• Suitable for phone, charger, kettle, fan, TV, lamp, cooker, etc.

Edit 31/10 8am: New code 11.11GBPeter (thanks team teri)

    Can you use with Google home?

  • furyou on 25/10/2017 - 23:07

    guess I'm confused. you save energy by turning off using app while away.
    but it uses wifi 24/7.
    so how much energy will it use just idle?

    • jackwoz on 25/10/2017 - 23:27
      +15

      I wouldnt think it would use much, just enough to hold on to a wifi connection. I dont use them to save power, i use them so i can be lazy. Connected to a fan on the other side of the room, so i dont have to burn any calories to turn it on or off

    • dufflover on 26/10/2017 - 10:07

      Interested to know this too.
      We bought an Arlec remote control power point and the idle power use is listed as 2 watts. Dunno if that's "good" in the realm of a receiver on standby but it seems like a lot given that's almost half the power use of an LED light globe.

      • jason andrade on 26/10/2017 - 10:22
        +10

        You can do some math around this - something I'm now doing when I think about adding computing equipment to the house..

        2 watts over an hour is 2 watt hours. in a day that's 48 watt hours. In a year that's around 17500 watt hours or 17.5 kWh.

        A kWh costs around 30c (for the purposes of this exercise) - which works out to around $5 a year.

        If you used this for 5 years, you'd spend around $25 (again, just as a rough number)

        So the original cost being around $11, you'd have a TCO of $36 on this, per device, for 5 years or about $7 a year for the convenience of turning things on and off remotely..

    • furyou on 26/10/2017 - 13:31

      given the existence of BT for low power, I can only assume wifi is 'high' power.
      Plus next to a wall socket must need more power than a phone in the middle of a room.

  • Nanokillaz on 25/10/2017 - 23:23

    • CacheHunter on 26/10/2017 - 00:01

      Did you get any last week from Yoshop for US$9.00?
      I could use another couple if Gearbest could match this price of US$7.99 for the wifi ones. As I understand it, zigbee also uses much less power than wifi and, for those that might be worried, less electromagnetic radiation.

    Just be careful with this item, it doesn't comply to Australian/NZ electrical safety standards.

    • 1Kenobi on 26/10/2017 - 21:34

        just a guess from my part, may technical specs you cannot unless you request the test certificates but the elephant in the room would be the image of the power prongs unsheathed, Live and Neutral https://gloimg.gbtcdn.com/gb/pdm-product-pic/Electronic/2017….

        Australian standards require all power plugs to be sheathed, you can check for yourself, find an item in your house that has been manufactured in the past 5 years and you will see the prongs are sheathed.

        If they have not bothered to comply to one of the requirements, then its obvious they have not designed this product to meet Australian standards.

        • idonotknowwhy on 31/10/2017 - 08:25

          I can confirm all my Aussie products from the last 5 years have sheathed plugs.

          What's this supposed to do for safety?

          Is it bad if I'm using the power cable from my old Macintosh Classic II, to power my monitor right now? It'd be a good 25 years old now…

          If your venetian blinds fall down and one of the metal slats slips down between the plug and the socket you will not get electrocuted

        • tonsta on 01/11/2017 - 20:18

          @Matt88: This standard came about with children and some adults getting shocked when fingers get caught between the wall socket and plug.

          Your old products are still safe as long as things dont go pear shaped, new products will remove more hazards if things do.

  • Dpkmax on 25/10/2017 - 23:59

    Oops I see a lot of questions unanswered Anyways this item is good here’s what will happen as with all the Xiaomi products.
    It’s realeased for first 100 ozbargainers
    And then it will go “OUT OF STOCK” or “Expired”
    which seeen by other ozbargainers will think deal is good
    And they would wait for the deal to be posted again
    Of course the deal will be posted again
    May be for fifty next time
    Again “OUT OF STOCK” or “Expired”
    People who missed again would curse them self for being slow and not catching the deal quickly
    Next realse would be 500 stock
    And 500 ozbees would pounce on it not realising if they actually need it or not but assuming that this has always gone “OUT OF STOCK” so it’ should be good
    Please think before you buy
    I am soon coming out with a self help checklist to make sure what we buy is right for us
    If you think this is a good idea reply Yay or if you think this idea is just a waste of time reply Nay
    Cheers
    Happy spending
    And don’t forget when u spend u get cash rewards

  • jason andrade on 26/10/2017 - 13:06

    For people who have purchased this - the website reviews seem to imply the following:

    • The wifi version requires you to have working internet access to be functional - as it is managed through the cloud (?)
    • The Zigbee version will work all the time as it connects to a local gateway (which presumably can be managed/connected to locally?)
    • Only the ZIgbee version will monitor power usage in addition to being able to remotely switch power on and off

    Is that correct ?

    • walaj on 26/10/2017 - 13:12

      I believe it is only possible to access the wifi version via the MI Home app - when connected to the servers in China - if I use the MI Home app connected to Singapore (or other places), it doens't allow me to add the wifi switch….

    • team teri on 31/10/2017 - 09:43
      +1

      I have the hub too and got one of the Zigbee ones already. The reason I wanted a few WiFi ones (other than slightly lower price) is that I assume that the range will be better. I plan to use one of the WiFi ones for the bore pump for example, that is in a pit in the garden, a little too far away for Zigbee.

      • wem77 on 01/11/2017 - 19:38

      • jason andrade on 19/11/2017 - 20:55

        What is the actual range for Zigbee ? I'm having a hard time working out exactly where I need to locate the gateway.. in relation to where I'd like to use the zigbee devices..

        • team teri on 20/11/2017 - 11:01

          Around 10m if there aren't too many too solid walls in between.

        • jason andrade on 20/11/2017 - 13:56

          @team teri:

          Thanks TT. Is there a concept of a Zigbee 'extender' ?

          I am figuring the gateway is the 'zigbee access point' - so how do i build a bigger network to get coverage into other buildings.

          For example I would love to put a Xiaomi Zigbee plug out with the pool pump - so I can see exactly how much power it uses but also use it to program a schedule and turn it on/off remotely.

          However it's > 10m away from the gateway..

        • team teri on 20/11/2017 - 23:19

          @jason andrade: People say that any mains powered ZigBee device works as an extended. For example the ZigBee version of this plug. I haven't verified it for myself, still waiting for some more ZigBee plugs to be delivered.

        • jason andrade on 21/11/2017 - 15:47

          @team teri:

          Hmm, that's interesting. So basically if you have a Zigbee plug ever 10m then theoretically you can keep extending your network.

          A bit of a problem when the next point is 10m away or you need to span an outdoor gap that is more than 10m across your two indoor points..

    • hamwhisperer on 31/10/2017 - 09:47

      What other good stuff can you do with the hub?
