So I’ve been looking for (European) smart plugs for a while now and what I’ve noticed is either the lack of support in Homey or the price being very high. These days its easy to get some Tapo or Nedis plugs but they often have the same issue: they don’t really play nice with Homey. Either there is …

Did you ry to search the forum? Many discussions about this topic, even recent ones [image] Smartplugs that work with Homey Pro Devices Aquara plugs (Zigbee) has worked as a charm for me. cost about 30€ and has energy meetering.

Ive recently bought 2 of these and do their job. Switch on/off and power metering (although the power meter has a low refresh rate but makes sense since its zigbee) https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005006243423977.html?spm=a2g0n.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.5c746d76BvJ84D&gatewayAdapt=glo2nld

Most of those in that topic don’t work anymore (Tuya nonsense) or are still pretty expensive. Or they simply don’t do energy measurements or don’t do 16 or 20 amps like one would expect in order to support a washing machine or something. And lets not forget that a lot of them send all your data to C…

Another Tuya ZigBee plug. Not really fond of those. Though I’m guessing the zigbee variant is easier to get working. 30 seconds for energy updates is a bit slow indeed, but still enough for at least a few flows.

Yeah and a lot of Tuya non-zigbee ones are out there that don’t work anymore since the Tuya Cloud or Tuya Homey apps are currently broken. The cloud also has an annoyance where it relies on a developer account that you need to reload API keys every 6 months and is likely to become a paid solution as…

[image] Peter_Kawa: s are supported b I also thought it’s a tuya device/app (well probably still might be) but when I linked it to Homey which worked fast like every device I suggested I use the app “Nous” But since its zigbee there shouldn’t be a link to China is it? I’ve just seen that th…

I am a fan of Frient devices and their Smart Plug is extremely reliable. You can find it under 30 euros in discounts. It’s not 15 euros what you asked for, but I guess you have to pay a bit for reliability…
