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

We live in an older home with all of our lights integrated into our electrical system and all of our fans on the ceiling. I realized after we purchased this that we didnt have much use for this plug in the traditional sense - no traditional fans, no lamps, no hidden sockets.... I also realized that all of our devices that this could be convenient for (electric kettle, dyson fan, etc) require more than just a power on/off to start. Ultimately, because this was so affordable and we are bad at returning items, we decided to use this on the powerstrip that houses all of our electronic devices and chargers. Essentially we are using it to save on electricity and eliminate phantom power in our home. While this may not be absolutely necessary, it has made it easy to turn off the power to the power strip at any point during the day and doesnt require us to remember before we leave the house. Baby steps to saving the environment.

For the price, this is a pretty good smart plug. While you need a hub, it works with HomeKit.

This is an overall decent device. Easy to use, and can be connected to a DIY Zigbee network and integrated into Home Assistant very easily. It is annoying that the bulk is vertical not horizontal thus you can only use one in an outlet, but that is minor. The real problem with this plug which in my opinion makes it completely useless is that it does not remember its previous state after power loss! I bought three of these to monitor power usage on my office PC, as well as components in my network rack. It was working well until a typical Florida Flicker where the power went out for a few seconds. All three of these plugs stayed off after power was restored until I physically went to each one and pressed the button to turn them on again. Thinking this might be one of those devices where you just need to use the app to affect this setting, I removed one of them from my zigbee network and paired it with an Aqara hub and added it to the Aqara Home app. Went into settings, and nope, no option for power on state or power on memory at all.

I am a victim of the Insteon shutdown and wanted to replace my smart home devices with something that was not Wi-Fi and could form a separate mesh network like Insteon did. After a bit of research I decided to give Aqara a try. Bought a couple of these smart plugs along with an M2 hub. Everything works great. I’ve added more Aqara products and am very happy with the system. Works flawlessly with Home Assistant as well.

This plug is considerably more expensive than other plugs. But it integrates flawlessly with my Aqara Motion sensor. It replaces another all-in-one motion sensor I used for my hall table lamp. The old one failed, so I decided to try this plug-in switch. I love that I can program at both times of operation and light levels so that the lamp doesnt light up all day or whenever a cat walks by. Its worth the extra money for its ease of use. Of course, you need an Aqara Hub, which I already have. Aqara could add an electricity use monitor that other plug-in switches have for half the price. This is the way to go if you have the Hub and sensors and want easy control of your devices.

Die stop working after one months....set automated not work ....i brought two smart plug and both stop working after 30 days. Stuck can’t returns

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.

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.

Instructions and installation was simple and easy. Products worked as advertised. Automation is easy.

Works great. Nice clean look.
