The WiFi plugs are ZOOZEE and work with the SmartLife app, but the Amazon page is down now so I can't link the exact model and don't have the boxes anymore. I'm not against replacing them if needed.
These are great.... They just work... Also have battery and temp reporting.
These contact sensors look awesome, and the price is much better than what I was looking at elsewhere. I don't see any info about the protocol they use on the product description, is there something I should be looking for when looking at these kinds of things to be sure they'd be compatible?
I buy some stuff from AArtech.ca and they have been great for CDN purchases.
The love hate thing for Aqara is true but I have had great success with them using the community driver and Tuya repeaters. I have lots and rarely do they give me any trouble; they were a bear on ST!
Remember to dig into the foumd for drivers/apps and suppport. HE does a great job of the built-ins but the creative genious of the members is massive; I run lots of user created code and that's what makes this platform so complete.
Awesome, thanks. I'll probably grab a bunch of those. How can you tell they're Zigbee from the listing? I'm just wondering for the future, it's hard to tell with some of the devices what protocols they use.
For some it's obvious, they'll have "Zigbee" in the title/description or in the device details. For others I've sometimes just had to search using the Amazon Q&A option on the product pages:
My comment above was specifically for this link posted here. I'm not sure how to tell with some of these kinds of products where nothing seems to be listed, but maybe I'm just missing something.
Do these work in a way where the sensor plus the probe work at the same time? For example, if I put one under my sink, with the probe to the toilet, both ends will work? I'd like to cover 3 toilets, 5 sinks, a dishwasher, a washing machine, a sump pump, and a water heater. If the probe and sensor work together, that saves me about 150 dollars.
I second that choice. Easy to setup, great support. I have been running iotaWatt for almost a year now and the iotaWatt "mains" reading over this period is 99.5% of what my house meter readings,
I think the gap there is you wouldn't catch the start of a small leak. I think I would want to know that there's a leak under the sink before it gets to the point of flowing out to the floor. Just using the sensor under the sink wouldn't catch a flooding toilet (unless things are REALLY bad).
Does this have a feature for identifying appliances and adding notifications and tracking for those? I've seen some that can do that. I would be looking to notify myself if I left the oven on, that kind of thing. If you have a video overview you recommend, I'd definitely check it out.
The unit clamps around the circuit in your breaker panel (safe, no wiring needed). So since your electric stove is 220, you would simply connect it around one leg of the stove circuit and then setup your notification in hubitat for it. So if power changed on greater than 30 mins, repeat notification every 20 mins. That would give you ample time to cook and get reminded to turn off the stove. You would throw a clamp on each circuit you wanted to monitor. In my case I monitor both legs of my panel, 2 water heater circuits, washer, dryer, and dishwasher.
