Damn. Already bought one today at ~$24.
"TP-Link Smart Wi-Fi Plug which comes in a standard version (HS100) and one that provides energy monitoring (HS110)."
From https://wisedweller.com/tp-link-smart-plug-review
Amazing deal. I bought 3, and will be replacing my Xiaomi ones.
I'm curious, why do you prefer these? I've had my hs100s for a bit over a year, but am in the process of replacing them with xiaomi zigbee sockets, because the tplink ones are so bulky and chew up so much space on power boards. The zigbee sockets should also work as repeaters and improve the quality of the zigbee signal to some of my more remote sensors and switches.
Namely because they support Google Home directly, haven't found a way to get the Xiaomi ones to actually support G Assistant.
I'll still keep the Xiaomi's for places where the HS100 won't fit.
For what it's worth, you can use Home Assistant to bridge Google Assistant and Xiaomi smart home gear. (I do this currently, works great)
Xiaomis max out at 2200watts. So they're no good with heaters, air cons, most toasters, kettles, espresso machines with boilers, some dishwashers, dryers and washing machines.
Is the xiaomi implementation of zigbee the same as your other zigbee devices (re the repeater functions)?
Agree they are bulky but the hs110s with power monitoring and 3680 max wattage are pretty cool.
How does it support 3860 watts? 10A would mean max 2400. Also the xiaomi 2200 is probably assuming you are running 220v (china) so 10x220 = 2200. Probably fine at 2400..
@ad62623: that's what it's rated to. I've read several posts where the xiaomi units stopped working after use with a 2400w heater. Just because we run higher voltage doesn't mean the device will somehow adjust to the higher rating when it was built to handle max 2200watts. You're also mixing up power output from your GPO, power draw by an appliance and max power handling by these devices.
Does no one do any research? :)

I have and TP-Link can't do the maths.
10A at 240V does not equal 3860W. It is 2400W.
@not a bargain: What a GPO can supply and what something is rated to are two different things. If it has been rated to 3860W then it can handle 3860W, regardless of if the maximum it will ever get is 2400W.
From the TP-link website:
WORKING STATUS
Input voltage 100 - 240VAC
Output voltage 100-240VAC
Maximum Load 10A
Maximum Power 3.68KWIf the maximum voltage is 240V and the maximum current load is 10A, then the maximum power can't be 3.68kW. I suspect what they have accidently included is the peak power and not the RMS, which is normally quoted.
If you plug it into a device that uses more than 10A RMS then it will exceed the quoted limit and may fail (or cut out).
There are (not sure if they are still allowed) GPO that are rated for 15A.
Update: I have now contacted TP link about this issue.
I think you better explain yourself better then.
How can it be rated for 3860W give the current and voltage ratings?
@not a bargain: That's a maximum rating. I imagine they tested them on a 15A circuit but decided not to specify 15A is okay for safety/ease-of-use reasons.
I still don't agree. It can't be one without the other.
We will see what TP-link comes back with.
Think I read somewhere that the xiaomi zigbee sockets are not repeaters unfortunately
i agree…i currently own 2 and they are solid..they also sit much better than the Xiaomi sockets…they have an intentional groove that avoids sitting on the on/off switch
Thank you. Just purchased another 3 which will make 6! Now to find more uses for the new 3…
Down down…
I've 16 of HS110 @69.99 each they're very good products strongly recommend it
Why you need so many ? Wouldn't your wifi router has a limit of 16 devices ?
Where does the 16 device limit come in? I have 33 devices connected to mine right now.
If you go to the router setting, you will find the limit there
@yht: Most routers don't have a device limit, none of mine ever have. Maybe your router can't handle a lot of traffic so they restricted it to 16 devices to prevent slowdowns.
@BradleyDS2: interesting. I previously had Archer D9 and now Netcomm, both have similar number of devices limit. What router that you have?
@yht: No specific limit on mine. Most routers' performance degrades as more devices are added over a specific number but my ac68u is fine with 33. Are you sure you're not referring to the DHCP pool?
@yht: That's strange. I currently use a WRT1900ACS, and it's running LEDE (well, I guess it's called OpenWRT again now). I never had a device limit with the stock FW either, and none of my past crappy ISP routers had any limit either.
Crappy routers can usually only handle about 10 active devices at a time, but it's surprising they put in a hard limit.
For mid-high end routers, they should be able to handle 50+ idle/low usage devices (such as lifx bulbs and roomba) and about 10 active high bandwidth devices, such as ones streaming HD video.
In Australia, you'd run out of bandwidth before the router would even be able to do that.
Ok, even I would struggle to find a use for 16. If you are using them for power monitoring, then I can see that could use a few. I have a dedicated power monitoring system that covers many of the big usage devices.
Can't use them on reverse cycle air conditioners.
What is the iron thing people talk about?
What is everyone using them for? I need ideas.
Turn heaters on in the morning and off when the room reaches a specific temp. Monitor your large appliance power usage (hs110). Get an alert when your washing machine has finished a cycle (hs110). Turn off all unnecessary sockets when you leave the house (irons, toasters, heaters). So many other uses just google it.
Turning on a lamp at sunset and off at 9pm.
Thanks
I use mine to turn a powerboard on and off that has my tv, a media centre pc and a set of speakers attached
Back in stock.

It's AU $103.95 for 3 items delivered.
Great story about eBay plus that we don't have though…
This is amazing! Thank you so much!
Out of stock :( had 3 in the cart but can't check out
saw it this morning. Wanted to check if Officeworks would price match with the higher hs110 ones. Managed to do so the last time but no luck today. Thought of posting it after checking with Officeworks. When the plug in my cart went out of stock, I knew they were OZbargained! they went back in stock for a few minutes and I managed to place my order. Now back in stock.
Worth noting they are $20 each and $19.95 delivery, so $39.95 for a single unit delivered (with no ebay plus).
Anyone left on ozbargain without ebay plus?
I have this and sonoff. Personally sonoff wins over this wrt price. I got three for $27 delivered from bangood. Sonoff works with Google home using ewelink app.
Sonoff can't handle looking ads above 2200W. And don't even get me started on certification…
Sonoff are approved for use in Australia and for good reasons. No earth for a starters. My life and house insurance are worth too much for me to use unapproved electrical devices.
Has anyone bought this yet and received a bill charging for postage? I have ebay plus, i paid the correct amount through ebay, but pcmeal took more money out? ill be contacting ebay tomorrow :(
Mine shows $50 postage but eBay plus has covered this so my total payment is only 54. Either these guys have worked out how to milk eBay plus for inflated postage or there's some kind of glitch?
probably a glitch then, i paid $55 - 10% through ebay. But looking at my paypal statement they took $95 out…..
PayPal shows the full amount. I purchased one for $20.00, but PayPal shows the transaction being $39.95.
I checked my credit card, it was definitely only a $20.00 charge. Best to log into your internet banking site and check how much was actually debited.
Did you pay via PayPal or directly via a credit card?
If you paid via PayPal, click into the transaction details. It will be for the full amount, but there should be an "eBay PLus discount" as part of the funding. If you run a balance impacting report, it will always report the correct charge.

can surge protector powerboards be plugged into these??
Yes.
Worth the extra $10 for the energy monitoring?
It is a pity, they charge hefty postage, even though free for ebayplus member, we don't get priority postage. Mine even delayed a further week! They are obviously milking Ebay by charging high postage.
Oh man. These just keep.going down!
