Thanks for the reply @danone . Yes I did in fact see the mercator ZB device, but I’m not entirely sure it’s a good path to go down.  
Reading through ALL of this has put me off somewhat: [Mercator Ikuu Zigbee App - #67 by Craig\_Allen](https://community.homey.app/t/mercator-ikuu-zigbee-app/96728/67)

I just re-read your comment “This includes into Honey as generic zigbee device” - are you sure of this, given the lengthy details in the thread above for the app/driver…?

Either way, I was really hoping there would be a simple plug-in type unit (to the existing outdoor waterproof sockets I already have) which would look like one of the indoor ones but be safe outside. Probably I’m just a bit naive of the difficulties with how this might be designed & implemented.
