I had been eyeing on this for really long time and its finally priced so well that I couldn't resist buying one!

This is HS110 model so includes energy monitoring as well.

I believe this is the cheapest it has ever been unless you get it price beat at Officeworks.

JB Hi-Fi $49
Officeworks $28 (price dropped, price beat no longer possible)

Update: Price reduced to $27.97 to help true bargainers to have it beaten by Bunnings and Officeworks!

        I guess for the energy consumption monitoring?

      • pdtmathieson on 11/06/2019 - 10:56

        Any idea if you can control the USB and regular power separately on the Brilliant plug?

        • maiuspala on 11/06/2019 - 11:14

          No. Cant control usb, it is constantly on.

          • pdtmathieson on 11/06/2019 - 11:22

            @maiuspala: Even when the point is turned off with the controls?

            • WazzaP on 11/06/2019 - 18:34

              @pdtmathieson: Yes, the power output of the plug can be turned off, but the USB port stays powered, and is not able to be controlled.

      Just a thought, but being US means half the voltage, double the amps for any given wattage.

      Guess these things were designed with 220V in mind, and don't like the higher amps (the reviews I saw all said were drawing 9A or more.)

      I probably wouldn't use it with high wattage devices for any length of time.

      Been using the Xioami ZigBee, I have two. Works well, except when I put on the dishwasher it failed within 5 days.
      The Xioami can't be seen on Google, you have to use it through the Xioami hub. So it's dumb compared to the TP.Meaninh no voice control, unless you speak Mandarin.
      I have ordered the TP also.
      I was impressed by energy monitoring, however difficult to achieve IFFT , I suppose one could achieve through alert messaging….

    • lgacb08 on 11/06/2019 - 12:17

      I have these and the xiaomi zigbee ones. The xiaomi has mote functionality and tweaks from the app, lower power consumption and save you from having too many wifi devices connected to your router. Its problems are the 2200w limit that can't handle high current devices like dishwasher, washer when heating water (it will trip and require physical reset), and google home/alexa connectivity issue too.
      the Tp-link one on the other hand has more simple app interfaces, reliable but mine was having issues with energy monitoring lately despite being on latest firmware. I guess you have to get some coding to pull out more energy data than on the spot reading.

    • RocketSwitch on 11/06/2019 - 23:26

      Yeah wtf, not buying.

    • Twilight on 13/06/2019 - 19:32

      Those are US version of the plugs. They use lower voltage and thus higher amps to compensate. For an 1800w load they'd be pulling 15 amps instead of 10. I've run a washer and dryer through one, no fire so far.

      I wouldn't use it to switch on and off an arc welder though :p

        Usually there is a setting in BIOS/UEFI for what should happen after power loss.

      Can't you do this via Wake Up on Lan packet and port forwarding?

        Yep, have never been able to get it to work

        • stebie on 11/06/2019 - 16:39

          As bamzero stated, it can take effort or may not work at all depending on your router.

          Reading your comments reminded me of something I'd done years ago to get WoL working over the Internet. See here - it may or may not help.

          It is also dependent on WoL working locally; if you can't get it working locally, it's unlikely to work remotely.

          • giventofly on 11/06/2019 - 16:40

            @stebie: I gave up trying. Nothing would work, not even locally. This plug will work nicely, however.

      • bamzero on 11/06/2019 - 14:37

        This can be difficult depending on the router you have. They won't all forward the broadcast packet you need.

    • silverfish on 11/06/2019 - 15:20

      Yeh this is not going to help, following a power outage the power is already on at the plug. You can however simulate a power outage remotely really well if you like to break your PC. Could use it to reboot something that locks up though.

      • giventofly on 11/06/2019 - 16:39

        I don't follow. What issue is there if there is a power outage?

        • silverfish on 11/06/2019 - 16:47

          So the power goes off, your PC goes off, then the power comes back on and you have power at the socket already. Adding this just means you can turn the power off and then on again at the socket, but it doesn't switch your PC on.

          What you need is something to actually press the button on your PC or equivalent. So check wake on lan, or bios options to automatically come on or resume prior state after power outage.

          • giventofly on 11/06/2019 - 17:00

            @silverfish:

            So the power goes off, your PC goes off, then the power comes back on and you have power at the socket already. Adding this just means you can turn the power off and then on again at the socket, but it doesn't switch your PC on.

            So, I understand that this will cut power to whatever is plugged into it? If the plug is off, then there is no motherboard light (i.e. power going to the motherboard).

            Once the plug comes on, it would then be able to be controlled remotely, allowing power to flow through to the mobo, and thus turning the PC on. As once my mobo receives power, it automatically powers on.

            I could be wrong, if so, then no, this won't work for me.

            • stebie on 11/06/2019 - 19:38

              @giventofly: IMO this should work as you expect, based on how you plan on configuring your PC.

    TP-Link's Kasa app used a Caesar cipher, a form of cryptography used by the ancient Romans. The key to deciphering the cipher was hard-coded right into the app, and the researchers used it to communicate with the TP-Link smart bulb from their rogue app. (It probably would have worked with any of the two dozen TP-Link devices that uses the Kasa app.)
