    Can anyone recommend a smart plug to turn on a lamp?
    Would've got this but OOS
    I just need one

      I've got a heap of these (both the old larger ones and new slim ones) around the house and have never had any issues with the Kasa app….

      The Brilliant Smart plugs are good. Not fat so they don't impede on the other socket on a double gang point. I have a bunch around the place for lighting. Garage lights, outdoor lights.

      I just bought 2 so not OOS.

    • KangaDrew on 23/11/2021 - 17:25

      I can also vouch for TP-Link slimline Kasa. I have one in almost every outlet of my apartment and they are so much better than Cygnett's. The software alone is a massive tick, but the fact that you can fit two of them comfortably side by side is a no brainer.

    I got a few of these from BigW a year ago when it was on sale…

    Simple setup with HomeKit. Currently I have two to manage my pool pump and Polaris and got two spare ones for future use.

  • cyrax83 on 23/11/2021 - 16:17

    Don't most appliances have their own switch though? Is this just for standby power saving?

    • Jofzar on 23/11/2021 - 16:27

      Its a wifi plug, its so you can OK google it and have it turn on/off and setup scheduled events etc.

      I have one on my lamp so that its perm "on" so when I need to turn it on I just ask google to turn it on.

      Have a couple of them around the house for stuff like this where its more pain to turn the on then I want.

    • PVA on 23/11/2021 - 16:36

      Going to use one to turn outdoor Christmas lights on and off. Power point is in the garage so save remembering to go and turn it on and off.

  • wittyusername on 23/11/2021 - 16:18

    This sounds really stupid and lazy, but could I fill a kettle the night before, leave it switched on and then turn the powerpoint on from bed with something like this?

    • whiskeytango on 23/11/2021 - 16:22
      +1

      if your kettle is those old conventional ones where you have to press down a switch and the switch kinda stays down, i think this will work.

    • howaaronic on 23/11/2021 - 16:22
      +2

      This is exactly how I use one. Turning a dumb kettle into a smart-ish one. Each kettle is different though, some don't let you keep the on-kettle switch on without being plugged into power; it just springs back off.

      I would assume so, but it will need an on/off timer functionality

    • sheikyerbouti on 23/11/2021 - 16:28

      I use an old school mechanical powerpoint timer for my very big expensive espresso machine. I leave its power switched on then the timer activates at 0600 and on it goes, so it's already warmed up when I get up at 0630 to make coffeee immediately.

        I have one of these plugs just for that also

      • PVA on 23/11/2021 - 16:37

        We had a mech timer , but it’s gone faulty. This is cheaper than buying another.

    • priceaintright on 23/11/2021 - 16:38

      Yep, do it pretty often for my meeting-heavy days. Switch the smart plug off, flick the kettle on and set a timer so I've got boiled water for my next cuppa at the end of my meeting!

    • Stopback on 23/11/2021 - 16:38

      Better to fill up a thermal bottle with hot water

      On the off chance you're in the market for a new kettle .. I picked up one of these a few months ago and it works a treat, definitely recommend.

    • KangaDrew on 23/11/2021 - 17:26

      Or you can always pick up a cheap WIFi kettle and tell Google/Alexa to get that water boiling! That's what I do.

      Sounds lazy but the time saved is great. Knowing I can have a kettle of water boiled and ready before I pull my a$$ outta bed or as soon as I walk in the door after being out for the day is a winner in my book.

    • frkino on 23/11/2021 - 18:10

      Even better, the app itself allows you to set a schedule, so just dial it in and you wake up with a warm coffee jug / a kettle of freshly boiled water

  • kingmoron on 23/11/2021 - 16:18

      Would you be kind enough to sell me a pair? I wasn’t lucky enough to get some before OOS, and I’ve been looking for some!

  • sephiris on 23/11/2021 - 16:22

    Not sure where you saw that price for two. Looks like it's that price each. Best I can get is $39.90 for 3 with a buy two get one free deal

    • eug on 23/11/2021 - 16:24

      Add 2 to your cart. When you actually go to your cart it'll take $19.95 off.

    • punkman on 23/11/2021 - 16:26

      buy 2 at a time

      19.95 for 1, then second is free at check out

    • exxon on 23/11/2021 - 16:32

      at checkout, change quantity from 3 to 2, it will update the price it therefore becomes 19.95 for 2. i happen to find this out via trial and error

    • sephiris on 23/11/2021 - 16:37

      It's leaning towards a side. You should be able to use it without any issues in right corner socket.

      its a promotion, buy 2 get 1 free, will update in the cart

      • whiskeytango on 23/11/2021 - 16:30

        gott it 👍

      • eug on 23/11/2021 - 16:32

        It's actually buy 2 get one of them free. i.e. two for $19.95.
        Buy 2 get 1 free implies you have to buy 2 for $39.90 and you get a 3rd one free. Like those buy-3-get-1-free tyre deals.

      My tplink ones seem ok

    • iamherenow on 23/11/2021 - 16:58

      I have 4 of the IKEA. An additional one failed after about 10 mins use. But they refunded. No issues with the others (but haven't had then long). I like them as they act as repeaters and get to range my wifi doesn't reach. Having said that, TP-Link Kasa is nice, slim profile. And TP-Link has a physical button too if that's of use to you.

      • Jofzar on 23/11/2021 - 17:04

        My TP-Link Kasa has horrible coil whine, was a dealbreaker for sleeping

        • iamherenow on 23/11/2021 - 17:06

          None of mine make a sound, besides the on/off clicks.

  • PVA on 23/11/2021 - 16:34

    Thanks, was about to buy a smart plug yesterday. Now I have two.

    Order says arrival will be between 3rd and 7th December…

  • ZeeFlyingMonkey on 23/11/2021 - 16:37

    Great deal thanks OP !

  • Leonidas on 23/11/2021 - 16:48

    No HA or tuya integration

  • AL0126 on 23/11/2021 - 16:49

    Thanks OP, great deal! Grabbed four for $39.90 (divided across two orders). Will be great to automate some more things with these (and see their power consumption too using the Cygnett app).

    I actually grabbed many of these previously during BigW, Harvey Norman and other clearance sales last year and they've all worked brilliantly via HomeKit - used to automate Christmas lights and other dumb lights in the house. Have to admit I thought these were done when those shops cleared them out last year, but I guess Cygnett is still making them :)

    • bongoman on 23/11/2021 - 17:12

      I run same name on 2.4 and 5g
      i had to disable the 5g band on the AP group - only broadcast 2.4 - that way phone and device are on same freq, and then it somehow found the device.
      once its on and 'connected' to the internet - turn 5g back on - and everything keeps working - phone happy to roam from 2.4 to 5 whenever it wants, and the device stays on the 2.4 and keeps working.

    Terrible product… I bought 6 of these via Qantas store and the reliability was terrible - would lose sync and need to be turned off and on every few days (HomeKit set up). Cygnet customer service was slow and unhelpful! Ended up returning to Qantas.

    • coxjon on 23/11/2021 - 17:44

      I wonder if it's because you have 6 on your home wifi? I have 2 with no complaints (along with ~5 xiaomi, some brilliant and some tp-link)

      • relicsinner on 23/11/2021 - 18:03

        I have 2 of these and they are terrible … kept getting disconnected on homekit.

      • financialminimalism on 23/11/2021 - 20:05

        Nah, nothing wrong with the WiFi access points in the house. I replaced them with Philips hue ones and they work great. This product shouldn’t carry HomeKit certification.

    Don’t buy these for HomeKit. I had 4 and they go unresponsive. Had a friend have the same issue. They are so unreliable. Get something on zigbee like the aqara.

  • vocadata on 24/11/2021 - 08:55

    I returned 7 of these because of constant HomeKit disconnections. Admittedly, the wi-fi setup here is not standard (mesh, band steering) but after 3 months of tweaking the configuration, I gave up. Many people have complained about the poor reliability of these switches (works for some, not for others).

    Changed to basic Connect smart plugs from Harvey Norman and they have been rock-solid via Homebridge.

  • stumo on 26/11/2021 - 16:56

    Gah these are a nightmare to set up using the app.

    After finally getting my phone onto 2.4Ghz instead of 5Ghz (wtf that is totally unnecessary). It still wouldn't pair using quick mode or long mode.

    Then in these instructions it says in long mode to kick off the pairing search THEN change to the plug wifi once you've nexted through and the app is already searching. I wish they had said this in the instructuons inside the app, would have saved me an hour of faffing.
