Most of the Tuya switch device LEDs are configurable, but I need to see the exact Zigbee model/manufacturer after the device is paired to HE, to know whether the LED can be turned off.

I would be very hesitant to use smart receptacles in my home. If you ever sell you home, you will need to go back and remove each of them and replace them with a standard receptacle. Otherwise, the home inspector is going to flag them as a potential problem.
I have had a number of smart plugs fail due to power surges from power outages and severe thunderstorms. Make sure you keep a supply of replacement devices on hand in case the outlets fail. With a smart plug, you can always remove the defective plug and plug directly into an outlet to restore power. If a smart receptacle fails, you do not have that option.

Was just going to suggest Legrandâs receptacles as well.
They donât make it very clear in the product info, but the âwith Netatmoâ versions are regular old zigbee 3.0, so they work with Hubitat.
Legrand is a reliable electrical device manufacturer in North American markets that can be trusted to meet safety certifications.
I would probably never believe anything on Aliexpress about UL or ETL certifications. Even if itâs possible to look up something that appears to be the same or similar devices on the testing lab websites.

Okay so we have two products so far.
The WNRR15WH thread suggests that the Legrand product may not function effectively as a Zigbee router. If the manufacturer is Jasco, perhaps Legrand got an exclusive license from Jasco for Zigbee products, with the intent of eliminating a competitor from the marketplace (which could explain why you can't find Jasco Zigbee outlets anymore).
There is a pretty steep price difference between the two: ~$20 versus ~$60 range, which will add up if you buy more than a couple of them. Also the WNRR15WH appears to be out of stock at the big suppliers (Home Depot, etc.) but Amazon.com at least has stock. Name-brand is one thing, but Legrand appears to have gone to very great lengths to obscure any mention of Zigbee (and compatiblity with Zigbee hubs) in their marketing in this product line.
I sold a home with multiple zwave devices in it, including ~12 Leviton zwave receptacles. Inspector didnât raise any issues about them.
The only issue raised was that the door between the garage and house wasnât fire-rated âŚ..

Is there any information I can send you, or are you waiting for a device?
Do you have an AE item number for that?
All that's showing for KS-15T/WU is the Wi-Fi version, item 1005005552358791.
You're right. The Zigbee version is not on AliExpress. In fact the WU one is probably the Wi-Fi version anyway.
Screen Innovations Smart Outlet it is, then. I will try to call them to see what the lead time and availability are for the product.
YoLink YS6704 YoLink In-Wall Outlet is the same product generally but the reviews say "not wifi". Actually the Walmart listing says it uses LoRa. So, probably a dead end.
I found this product on Amazon. It is so random, but it works with SmartThings per this post. "Model I believe is SM-PW801-U2Z"
I was able to find the manufacturer, "xenon.cn":
SM-PW801-U2
SM-PW801-U1
There is a listing on AliExpress!
My advise would be to stay away from Xenon - this is the Hubitat most incompatible Zigbee device I have ever dealt with ... Search this forum for Xenon.

If you have this device paired to a HE hub, just publish a screenshot of the Device Details section that can be found at the bottom of the HE device web page.
Most home buyers are not home automation savvy. While an automated receptacle might be within code, because it is a non-standard device, many homeowners would not know how to deal with it if it failed. Also, the NEC of 2014 requires that all automated receptacles are properly labeled to indicate that they are not always powered. Lack of proper labeling would be a code violation.
If automated operation is no longer needed, code requires that the receptacle be replaced with a standard receptacle. Since the new homeowner might not have the same requirements for automation, it would be best to replace all automated receptacles with standard receptacles before the home inspection.
It is currently configured as a Generic Zigbee Outlet.
Definitely not intuitive but thank you for your response. The outlets just jumped up a bit on acceptance since the light may be disabled.

I discovered the Leviton ZSTLR-1HW and bought two of them. I asked like five suppliers for pricing and availability, but only GoKnight came through and shipped it. The ZSTLR-1HW works.
Advantages:
- Currently manufactured and supported by a major electrical supplier (Leviton)
- Zigbee 3.0
- Actually marketed as Zigbee 3.0, not marketed with some other proprietary brand name that may or may not interoperate with various Zigbee hubs
- Has a button on the face to control it
- Blue LED light is very small and not annoying
- Looks like a pretty generic but functional outlet; no weird or confusing markings
- Silent: no perceived humming or whining from the electronics
Disadvantages:
- No energy monitoring
- Only comes in white
- Expensive (USD$62) for what you get
- Not "widely" available, requires working with your Leviton supplier
I have not installed it in a junction box yet, but I also want to point out that it is pretty thick. I estimate that it is the same thickness as Leviton's USB-C receptacles.

Curious if you asked Home Depot if they could special order it?
Are both outlets controlled by Zigbee relays or just one?
