So are there any hard wired decora z-wave or zigbee outlets that also have usb jacks in them? This would be useful in several situations in my house...
Nothing in wall other than a Wi-Fi one I saw on Amazon. Zooz has a Plugin double outlet with USB:
Not sure when they are going to be released.
I have several of these installed... This what you mean? I primarily use them as repeaters for my battery powered sensors... But they have two fully functional USB charging ports...

That would be awesome if it fit a Decora style faceplate. I might have to pick up a couple anyway. I just can’t use them where I need the the most.
They definitely have a proprietary face plate... I don't think they will work with anything else... I needed powered Zigbee repeaters and didn't want a bunch of plugins everywhere... So in a few places, I actually installed these next to my regular outlets or replaced existing outlets.
Yeah, they don't look exactly like the others, but better than a plug sticking out of it... Plus they do have a modern look and feel...
Yeah, need hard wired not bricks...
Would want two and two plus decora... Not sure why it's so difficult for companies to come up with this..
That's a lot to cram into a small space. You need a transformer for the USB + whatever it takes to power the zigbee/z-wave radio.

Where I could really use one I have a double gang outlet. I can use a few in other places though.
This is the only “remote” controlled in-wall receptacle I have seen. Unfortunately it’s Wi-Fi only and unsure about integration with HE but thought I would share:

Exactly what I want except for the Wi-Fi (I don’t use Alexa or google so no integration there) I sent a couple of messages to Inovelli and hope to hear back from them. I know they were considering it.
I wouldn’t hold my breath. The inwall receptacle options are super limited. Zwave is the only current option though GE/Jasco will be releasing a zigbee version soon. Nothing has USB. It’s sad honestly.

Yeah, there are quite a few of the WiFi versions on Amazon.
I just ordered one of the Zigbee outlets mentioned further up but really need a solution for a double gang box. At least I'll be able to use a couple of these to replace some of my IKEA plugs. Just not in the living room where I really want to get rid of the plug in adapters.
