Saw these via email, and looks to be a good deal for wifi power including energy monitor. Hopefully these don't get in the way of the power switch (like some chinese versions)

The Kogan switches and Lights are re-branded Tuya products so you can hook up with Home Assistant pretty easy based on forum https://community.home-assistant.io/t/integrate-kogan-smarte…

  There is a hardware switch on the devices that override the software. That said since I started using these I have been able to just use Google home to turn them on and off.

    How do you find the energy monitoring, pretty accurate?

      never looked at it tbh

  I wonder if these have that "randomised auto on / off" feature like the Medion ones…

    Hook up with home assistant for random schedules

  Hmm, I wonder if these are narrow enough to plug two into the one outlet… Anyone know?

  If they're Tuya gear, they should be able to be added to Homebridge for use with Siri - https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-tuya

  are these in anyway better than Amazon:TOPERSUN 2usb Wifi Smart Socket ??
  those ones also have dual usb and are cheaper. currently sold out though.

    kudoz on 20/10/2018 - 18:32

    Doesn't look like those do any actual measurement / energy tracking though

    asa79 on 21/10/2018 - 10:13

    Not sure if they will connect to Home assistant as easy and no energy monitoring?

  These things are still pre-sale? Or did they deliver a batch already?

      Does the width of them block neighbouring sockets?

        I have them on a standard double outlet on a wall, and am able to plug something else in next to them. E.g. my lamp in one and a phone charger plugged in next to it. I haven't tried plugging two of these things next to each other though.

          @Pmac9999: how is the tuya app compared to the kogan app?

          • 

            Pmac9999 on 22/10/2018 - 21:17

            @asa79: I don't know what you're talking about buddy. I set the devices up with this app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kogan.smar… - and then the Google Home app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and… can see the devices, and I do everything through it. Turn things on manually, schedule it, talk via Google Home etc
