CMARS Smart Plug, ZigBee Switch Mini Smart Outlet Works with ST, Alexa, Echo (4th gen) Echo Plus (2nd) Google Home, Works as a Range Extender, Hub Required （2 Pack）

Ive so far set up 4 of these smart outlets and it took a total of about 4 minutes. Im using these with the Hubitat C7 hub and they instantly pair as a Generic Zigbee Outlet and work perfectly. They are controllable through the Google Assistant via Hubitat (remember you must add new devices in the Hubitat Google Home app). I must say that Im using these pretty close to my hub so I couldnt tell you anything about their ability to work at a far distance, but for the price, these outlets are great.

They work great, take a decent amount of wattage (I run a water distiller off one of them), and pair great with a Zigbee USB radio via Home Assistant. For day to day use on a timer, remote control, or something similar, theyre amazing especially foe the price. I have 4 of them. The only issue Ive noticed are they tend not to have a lot of range and they dont repeat the Zigbee signal very well. Luckily I had some other devices I could add in to maintain the mesh, but just be aware it may have issues if its AR a long distance / through some thick walls / off by itself.

Ok for the money

These are very reliable outlets. You can pair it to your smart hub in less than 2 mins. Work as expected at a great price. Im buying 2 more

The two CMARS Smart Plugs were exactly what was needed. I was pleasantly surprised how easily they paired with the Echo Studio I was using. I had expected a little more troubleshooting than I experienced. I use one to power my home entertainment system power strip so I do not need to turn off the light, TV, and system separately. I just use a voice command on my Echo Studio. Edit: One has since broken after owning them for about two months. When it works, its great. But having such a short lifespan is concerning. The one thing still outstanding is longevity. I plan to use one for more active use of on and off than another. In theory they should be last the same amount of time but I will update if the more used one faces issues sooner than later. Edit v2: Both are now non-functioning and useless. I admit that using them in conjunction with an extension cable may have been the issue but there were no warning that I noticed that spoke against it. Be warned they may die early.

Its hard to know if these devices were used before I got them, maybe something someone else returned, or if they were just packed poorly. They come in a fairly lightweight glossy-paper-board box, and that box was shipped by Amazon in an unpadded plastic envelope, the consistency of a decent garbage bag. The result is that the retail box was close to destroyed and the 2 devices had been banging around in the envelope. They work fine so far, and since they are plugged into outlets at near ground level, the scratches on them are not that obvious. It is not worth trying to return them, but I find it annoying that I pay for something new, but it looks poor when I get it. They paired almost instantly with my zigbee hub, and the built-in repeater function works well. Adding one between my hub and the front door has helped to make my zigbee lock more reliable.

Ive purchased these smart plugs two times. They show up as model SA-003-Zigbee. The first set, the plugs announce themselves as device type 0x0009 (Mains Power Outlet). ZHA integration in Home Assistant put them under the switch domain. This is all well and good. The second set, the plugs announce themselves as device type 0x1000 (On/Off Light). ZHA integration in Home Assistant put them under the light domain. Not so good, because theyre not controlling lights. Generally speaking you can sort-of work around the difference in domains, but it would be MUCH better if they all had been device type 0x010a (On/off plug-in unit)

They work really well with Alexa

Still a bit too large for 2 in a single outlet. Cheap. fast. and work. always detect in my Hubitat and never a problem. I now run 8 of them. Update - Annoying development is that I used one in my bedroom. the LED is so bright as to make it painful to sleepy eyes. The driver/software does NOT allow the LED to be disabled - use of 3rd party led covers (Tinted film or Electrical Tape) is the only option. I have removed 1 full star due to this problem.

My deconz console indicates that the devices are repeating. At first they only showed yup as endpoints, but now they seem to be repeating. I do see a difference in my zigbee network. I originally pick these up for the repeaters. I have not plugged anything into them to be remote controlled yet.
