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）

I was instantly able to get these working with Home Assistant. These worked well to control a lamp, but also worked well to boost my ZigBee mesh to reach some lightbulbs that were previously out of range.

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)

I got these to uses as repeaters on my ZigBee network. I am using home assistant (ZHA). The system found them quickly and joined the network. but it is not stable will only stay on the network 3-4 seconds before it drops, then it will come back and drop again. Completely unusable.

Switch integrated quickly into my deconz / phoscon / HomeSeer setup. Good response times and works as a zigbee repeater. Also using the hue dimmer switch to control them in my setup.

Because this is a zigbee smart switch, it is very easy to add to a smartthings hub without any additional app beyond the Smartthings app. It is the easiest Ive found. Just plug it in, open up the smartthings app, and scan for new devices. Much better than wifi plugs.

A reliable well made product in a great form factor. Ive been using these for almost a year now with no issues whatsoever. Very easy to setup.

I was ripped off. This package says it works with Amazon Alexa and Smartthings. We have both in our home and nothing recognizes the plug. There is no brand on the box. When I contacted support Cia the email on a 1 inch slip of paper in the box, what do you know? It is an invalid email. Made in China garbage. Infuriates me that amazon allows these types of businesses to market through them.

All in all, not a bad product. Integration with Smart things goes well once you figure out what to call it (some instructions included with the device would have helped, but easy to Google). Once installed, seems to be solid. My only gripe is that the LED on the side is obnoxiously bright. Makes it impossible to use in a bedroom or dark environment without tape. Would have been a better product with no LED at all.

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.

Works with home Assistant. Easy to set up.
