Change it to the Nue Zigbee Switch and press configure a few times, this will create child devices for every plug 
It’s good. My only gripe is the very slight high pitched noise when plug one is on, not sure if it’s just my outlet though

Just picked up some Lidl Smart Plugs to test.
Pairs as Generic Zigbee Outlet and works perfectly
£7.99 and has integral manual on off switch. It's a bit deeper than an Ikea outlet but much smaller top to bottom.

A good move for making smart home plugs more accessible. Price point was always going to be a stopping gate for some.
The Smart Plug also pairs fine with my Conbee 2/Phoscon system where is shows up as Hieman TS011F.
Great for the price.

Not a clue. Thought it maybe something to do with the USB ports but it appears to do nothing

Thanks. As everyone else is saying: seems to work well for the mains sockets. No whine on my unit either. How did you find this? Would it make sense to search for other "multi-port"(?) sockets drivers and try them as well?
I think regardless of which plug (Either the first, second or third) it makes a whining noise so probably not a program issue rather than the unit itself, I think I will take it back and ask for a replacement to see how it goes. Will report back tomorrow when I get a replacement
Found this documentation for the TUYA lights and sockets:
If you download the compliance document, it appears to go in depth into some of the zigbee features supported by the devices, maybe of use to developers.

Got white GU10 and socket, paired very fast. The gu10 is so much quicker than ikea gu10 on hubitat.
The sockets work great and cheap as chips, does anyone know how to fade, change colour of LED strip light?
Probably less use to you than you'd like, but I've successfully homed it into a Hue hub with no hassle, which makes me think everything is quite vanilla/standard, in terms of ZigBee implementation.
Have you tried the Generic Component RGBW driver? Or Generic Zigbee RGBW Light driver?
I can confirm that all three Lidl devices that I bought here in Germany work flawlessly with the following drivers already available with HE
3 Socket power extension with 4 USB Ports
Driver: Nue Zigbee Switch (4 Child devices are created after you hit configure in the driver after installation. Three switches for the 3 power sockets and a forth without functionality, assuming that is for the 4 USB ports that are always powered on when the extension cable is connected to the mains
Motion detector
Driver: Generic Zigbee Motion Sensor (no temp)
SilverCraft Zigbee Switch:
Driver: Nue Zigbee Switch (Child devices are created but work better and faster that the Generic Zigbee Switch driver)

Not sure if you found this already, but you can try using this. however, I found that I cannot change the level properly. it kinda stuck on 89. but if I change it back to generic zigbee, I can change the level
The issue is that the strip prefers XY color commands, which Hubitat doesn't support natively. The IKEA driver converts the HSL values from Hubitat to XY which the strip understands.
The best solution is to fusion the Generic driver with the IKEA, which should give us a working driver for these devices.
Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone got a working driver yet?
For which bit in particular?
Just a warning about the colour bulbs. Their colours are (currently) very very dim, in comparison to Philips bulbs.
I am comparing E27 bulbs, LIDL Livornolux "2300K-6500K and Colour" HG06106C vs Philips Hue "white and color" 9290012573A.
On the other hand, their whites are significantly brighter, over the full range of the dimmer. So e.g. the Lidl set to warm white at 100%, is brighter than Philips. But so is the warm white when dimmed to 1%. However, when you switch to colour (say orange), the Lidl bulb can go much dimmer than the Philips. A color on Philips set to 1% roughly equals Lidl on 10%.
So before you buy the Lidl bulbs for use with colour, do some youtubing. I wouldn't recommend it currently. I would recommend them over Philips for using whites though, ...not only because of the price.

While I am at it, reporting performance, let me add the following subjective findings.
You might be happy to hear that the Lidl Livorno bulbs turn on in their last colour+brightness setting. When wire powered off and on. I don't own the Lidl hub, so this happens by default out of the box.
About the Lidl Silvercrest motion sensor. Most importantly you need to know that once motion is detected, the state will remain active for 1 minute after there is no motion anymore. This is actually stated in their documentation somewhere and I doubt it is settable even if you have the hub (let me know if I'm wrong). It seems to be performing okay, but not above average. The detection angle seems to do justice to the reported 90 degrees. But it seems to "look downwards", meaning it matters how you orientate it. Motion detection is not the fastest when walking towards it (can be judged from the red led). Slow (walking) movement takes longer to be detected than more obvious movements. The performance is very similar, to my experience with, Ikea motion sensors, in case you know these. Not recommendable for large spaces, nor tiny hallways. With the latter use case, you will have traversed the space before your lights go on..
They carry a strange battery (CR123A). I do like them however, their price is great, and I now use them to trigger my stair lights.
The Lidl Silvercrest contact sensor works great. Detection is rather instant, and the separation distance is good and constant. I haven't used wireless contact sensors before, so that's all from me.
