I want to remotely power on/off a device that is powered via a 2-prong USB power adapter/brick. The USB power adapter/brick is plugged into a small UPS that only has 2-prong outlets. Is there a current smart plug that exists that is only U.S. 2-prong? I have an older Leviton (edit: not GE) Z-wave o…

Leviton makes one (available in ZB and ZW), but it's a dimmer - not sure if that could be problematic in terms of power delivery -- i.e. does it output full line power at 100% or not? Not sure if it does, or if that matters in your application. ETA - If you use Caseta, I think their plug is 2-pron…

I have a couple of the Lutron dimmer plugs - they are two prong - I don't see an option to configure them for on/off only. Not showing any available firmware updates for the Lutron hubs.

I also looked for a controlled USB port, but it looks like there isn't much of anything. [image] Zigbee USB power adapter or inline switch? 💬 Lounge a.k.a. Wall Wart I'm getting more & more usb-powered devices, lights, & small appliances. With the lack of in-wall zigbee…

I have both the ZW and ZB version of the Leviton dimmer plug - both are definitely just 2-prong all around (male & female). It is odd that the Lev stock photo appears to be 3-prong male, but mine is 2-prong (I just checked both versions of mine to be certain). I admittedly bought my ZB one years a…

Is nobody going to question the two-prong UPS? That's the strangest thing in this setup. Never heard of such a thing.

You could remove the ground pin from the device, making it a 2 prong.

From what I've seen, all ON/OFF modules are 3 prong. If you want to hack one, simply cut the 3rd prong off. OR you can install a 3 prong receptacle in your wall. If your wiring is BX (metallic conduit) the "3rd" prong will connect to it which serves as a safety gound.

Hmm. no longer available. I wonder what the point of that was. Looks like it is several years old. Here's a three-prong UPS for under $50: Amazon Basics UPS
