Aqara Smart Plug, REQUIRES AQARA HUB, Zigbee, with Energy Monitoring, Overload Protection, Scheduling and Voice Control, Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT, and Apple HomeKit Compatible

I have 3 of these and noticed they do not turn back on after a power outage, they are not reliable.

Easy to set up and fast response times

I have this setup with a space heater and the Aqara remote so that I can turn the heater on/off from the bathtub and so far it has worked every time with no problem.

Okay, let me explain. I purchased the Aqara Smart Plug for the sole purpose of triggering my Aqara Hub into alarm mode. My security system will not do that on its own. I saw a video online that showed a work around so I decided to give it a shot. I cannot hear my siren upstairs so, the hub was the way to go since it is located upstairs. I have Aqara temperature sensors so, the M1s hub works. The work around stated it cannot be used for anything else, however, I added a smart bulb that will flash red as a visual que as well as hearing the MS1s siren. I hope Aqara will update the firmware to allow this integration without the need to purchase a smart plug.

Works great with Home Assistant (Though actually I use OpenHAB) and its 100% reliable. Takes a few (or more...) tries to pair it but eventually works. Sealed it with silicone caulk and its great outdoors.

This is my 2nd Aqara plug. They work quite well, and require a hub for all that intelligent lazy voice control. I can’t speak for the Alexa or google integration, as I use HomeKit, but it works flawlessly with HomeKit. This one is controlling 3 humidifiers in my bedroom. Syncs up easily with the hub. I have the hub on the opposite end of the house on a different floor, and it still maintains a strong zigbee connection. Responds well, very short delay between voice command and response. Only wish they were a bit smaller, so I could have two in one outlet.

Really good plug but expensive

Not much to say about a smart outlet. Easy to add to HomeKit and works consistently.

I have lots of Aqara devices on my hub so I wanted to try this smart plug to get the power monitoring function. Its a beautiful plug that only takes one wall socket space if plugged into the top outlet. It paired effortlessly to the Aqara Hub and was visible in HomeKit. To see the power numbers, you have to go to the accessories options and select the plug in order to see the power numbers. I wish it were displayed on the Home card in the Aqara app. In the power monitoring screen, you can set various options such as charge protection which turns the plug off if it measures less than 2W for 30 minutes (to stop charging a cell phone for example) and power-off memory which resumes the state of the plug in case of a main power outage.

I use this to automate my washing machine (knowing when it is finished) and the power monitoring is consistent and reliable. Havent had any zigbee connection issues either despite being put behind the washer and dryer right next to a wall.
