Zigbee sockets

yeah but they are supported in ST so, it should be a case of finding the built in DH and convert it to a driver in HE.

Hi all,

New to all this so please bear with. I think like many, I've struggled to find any Zigbee UK power sockets that aren't either the plug in type, like the Ikea Tradfri, or horrendously expensive.

I came across these Click Smart+. I'm seeing them for sale at less than £30 for a double socket and less than £20 for a single (quite cool they do singles), They are Zigbee and importantly, look like a normal wall socket! I tried my best to search the forum before posting, but apologise if these have been discused before. Anyone tried?

Those sockets are branded as being zigbee, and as being compatible with their own hub. The technical specs (link below) provides no indication that they are ZHA 1.2 or Zigbee 3.0 compliant, which would be necessary for them to work with Hubitat.

I also looked up ClickSmart at the zigbeealliance, and couldn't find them

Interesting.
Their Switch Module has Zigbee 3.0 printed on it.

I wonder. We need a guinea pig to get one.

I love the click stuff, these might be perfect :slight_smile:

edit been looking for a high output switch module as well, want to control my towel rail :+1:

I sent a question to the manufacturer above and got this response.

Hi Bob, the ClickSmart+ devices do work on Zigbee 3.0 protocol. However, we do not have the software built into the devices to enable communication to different manufactures devices. So at this stage the protocol is a proprietary version of zigbee 3.0.

ClickSmart+ software interface isn’t designed to speak with any other hubs directly. While there may well be bridges built in the future which will enable more compatibility with other devices, such as the Smart Things Hub, at this time you will still need the Universal Hub (CSP010) to pair to and talk directly to each ClickSmart+ device in a home.

It would be worth trying to get hold of one of there devices and actually seeing if they work. I wouldn't be surprised if they do.

not bad price

Same here. I've seen other zigbee 3.0 devices that "require" the manufacturer's hub/bridge, but they work fine with any ZHA1.2 coordinator.

I've ordered a single outlet and will report how it goes. :crossed_fingers:

On a side note, just before Christmas I picked up a couple of the Lidl three way + 4 usb extensions, paired up to hubitat ok using a custom driver on here. The three sockets appear as child devices so they're individually controlled. It may be niche but I have found them great for things like Christmas lights and the bedside table (multiple lamps, phone charging etc).

I'm guessing they'll come around again, worth looking out for.

I've been trying to get one. Never any in my local store.

I'm possibly lucky, I was in Blackheath (West Midlands) at the time, I suspect I was the only person buying anything at all from the smart home section as they were there for two weeks (I went back for another one and bought a few more bits), I went back the following week on the off-chance stuff had been discounted and the display was gone. Probably moved to a different store with shoppers who don't find fire to be a technological marvel.

Turned up and fitted and it is working OK.
It paired using the built in "Generic Zigbee Multi-Endpoint Switch".

Bought a double socket and works great. I’ve bought more to replace my Energenie sockets :blush:

Awesome, do they look and feel good? How much did you pay?

Yes on both counts. By far the best I have gotten hold of.

Anyone tried one of their relays yet? The standard "switch handler" seems to work for me as a smart switch but can't seem to get it to work with a physical switch

I don’t have one of those, but I have one of these...

I wonder if they are the same...although the connector layouts are different. Mine works using a generic Zigbee switch driver. It’s a Tuya thing from China.

Hi Joe, I've just picked up this post. Quite some time has passed. I was wondering how the sockets are performing? I'm always nervous about buying hard wired gear which isn't a major brand. Electrical fires etc. How you getting on?
