Hello @calinatl ,
The device supports MQTT out-of-the-box so if the MQTT Broker and the Interface are installed on your Hubitat then it should work without any issues. I understand your question about using a Hubitat driver instead of MQTT. We haven't look into this yet, but if it is something that isn't too hard to build based on directly mapping our APIs then it shouldn't be a problem.
And thank you for the suggestions on a Zigbee version, we will look into building a Thread version as that's more like the next-gen Zigbee!
We designed it with the smart outlet because this maximizes the potential of an automation setup, controlling the appliances directly based on the sensor data from the cover plate. But your suggestion sounds interesting!
Let us know if you have any other questions!
