@kettlevoid let's see... some Lupusec socket, but without meteringShneider Electric Wiser Plug 16A, has metering but doesn't work with phoscon (yet, made an issue on github)and now, Aqara smart plug.Everything's zigbee.Also previously had some tp-link kasa smart plugs but those are wifi and i hated it, so i gave them away to my mother who doesn't mind using alexashit

@hj i am currently searching for some zigbee plug with metering that could run a washing machine, but i can't find one cheap.I tried an OSRAM one (now LEDVANCE) but no metering sigh:Do aqara smart plug mesh good with other devices, or are they particular as the other aqara/xiaomi stuff?Also why does it costs so much??

@kettlevoid the aqara one i got costs 25€ here, I wouldn't call it expensive but it's not cheap either.Can't tell much about it yet because i literally just bought it, i wanted to install it on dishwasher but it got a leak and perhaps will be replaced idk, i tested it on a fan and seems to be working, no idea about mesh/connectivity but i don't think it has a router on it, luckily i do have hue lights which i assume have routers

@hj i meant the lupusec one.And by mesh i meant the fact that sometimes aqara/xiaomi stuff doesn't like to mesh (doesn't matter who is coordinator or client) with some other stuff. On the hubitat community there is a good list of those.I'll maybe try one of those then, if i can get it with a schuko socket

@kettlevoid lupusec one... no idea. I use it on a fan mostly which is near the conbee anyway. As for aqara, we'll see. Interestingly enough the plug identifies itself as LUMI, not Xiaomi.

@hj i have a zigbee temperature sensor from xiaomi and that too is called LUMI, probably is like, the internal name they use or something like that.How is range on a conbee? I used a TI before and now passed to a ZBBridge with ZHA and never had any problem with it

@kettlevoid i mean, i also have aqara smart buttons and door/window sensors and those identify as Xiaomi.range seems to be adequate for my purposes, it just werks :todd: Certainly much better than rasberry pi's onboard bluetooth. I switched to it after using Hue bridge and wanted something more... generic and at least somewhat open.
