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

Installed to extend my zigbee range for some door sensors, as well as monitor the power usage of my gas dryer to know when the laundry is ready. Very fast response and precise readings at lower power, it can consistently tell the difference of 0 to 2W when the door is open so the light comes on. Instant pairing and no issues after a few months. It does default to off if the power goes out, couldnt figure out how to configure that from HA. I dont use it for switching the dryer load but in theory this is one of the few meant to handle that kind of load.

Love this smart plug! With Aqara’s updated M1S or M2 hub, this plug is extremely reliable. I used to do all of my home automation in HomeKit, but the Aqara automation is much faster, so when I’m controlling an Aqara device with another Aqara device I now create the automation routine in the Aqara app.

Easy to set up and fast response times

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.

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. Good data presentation of energy use.

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
