  • Runs ESPHome out of the box for 100% local control without flashing, soldering, editing YAML, or hoping tuya-convert works.

Description

Same KAUF plug firmware you know and love with new and improved hardware. This classic home automation device can be used to switch on and off a device that plugs into a standard U.S. 120-volt wall outlet. Common usages include lamps, box fans, and Christmas lights. Power monitoring lets you know how much power the plugged in device is using, as well as whether the plugged in device is running and when it finishes. A binary sensor is automatically created that lets you know if the plugged in device is running using a configurable wattage threshold.

    • Great for energy monitoring in Home Assistant
Number of Items: 4
I installed 4 of these plugs purely for monitoring power usage in my home. The detailed installation instructions were very helpful. Connecting to the plug to configure the Wi-Fi was a challenge using my PC or Android phone, but a Fire Tablet worked perfectly. Some tips to help in adding the device to HA: (1) Recompiling the device in ESPHome will likely fail due to insufficient memory in the ESP2866. This is easily fixed by commenting out the 3 lines of yaml code that enable encryption. (2) Use the "Rename Hostname" function in ESPHome to change the default device name and entities. This is way easier than renaming each entity one at a time. All in all, these are great devices for monitoring energy in Home Assistant. ... show more

    • Works with Home Assistant out of the box... Great product and directions
Number of Items: 4
Our dogs love to attack our sprinklers, rip them out of the ground, and play in the resulting geyser. It's fun for them, but annoying and expensive for us. We wanted a light by the back door that would tell if the sprinklers were on. The Kauf plugs solved that problem. Plug 1 detects when the system is working and Plug 2 lights the warning light with a HA automation. But what's really special is that they required no third party app (Other than Home Assistant) and do not monetize my data. Thanks to Kauf for putting this together! ... show more

    • Great for Home Assistant

I have bought a ton of smart plugs. Some with Tasmota, some that could be flashed with Tuya-convert. So far, this plug has impressed me the most. It was pretty darn easy to get up and running. It took longer than it's competitors to initiate it's fallback network but that's ok I knocked a star off for ease of use because ESPHome is supposed to offer you the ability to adopt the plug (this is different than the Home Assistant discovery which worked as expected). It wasn't a huge deal. I went tot he plug's web interface which had a link to the github page. This page had some basic YAML that needed to be imported into ESPHome. You build the binary and push it out and it shows up as expected Time will tell how long this will last. Some brands of smart plugs have started dying within a year while others I have had over 6 years. Hopefully this guy will last! ... show more

So refreshing to find a product that just... is what it says it is. Having been at this a short while and learning along the way i'm already real tired of proprietary implementations which require either locking myself into apps and cloud services or taking devices apart to flash with Tasmota. I bought the four-pack of this item and i had all four set up in less than 15 minutes. All local control and NOW if i want i to add any given device to a cloud service or voice assistant, i can do this. It's backwards to the way things usually work and it feels vaguely subversive but i love it. I've not had such a device before (apart from my budding collection of Arduino projects) so i was delighted to find such a comprehensive array of options. Pretty much any metric you could want from a smart plug can be enabled as a HA entity. So you can monitor voltage or on/off state, you can monitor power or current, heck you even fiddle with button and LED behavior without writing a ton of YAML and all this stuff can go into graphs for an overdose of geekishness. Maybe i'm stating the obvious but i'm relatively new to all this and i am just tickled. The documentation is great as well. Clearly written, (not in Chinglish), straightforward, and accurate. Included is only a basic Getting Started guide and there's lots more to the thing but there's a webpage and github (and a whole internet) for whatever else you might like to do. The only criticism i have is that the instructions also advise to import into ESPHome Dashboard -first- to facilitate firmware updates and to rename the entities to something sensible before adding to HA. That's possibly good advice but the problem is that it is on page 12, on the flip side of paper. So i found that *after* i'd gone and set them all up and had four entities in my energy dashboard all named "Kauf Plug". I'd recommend rearranging the manual a bit, or at least referencing this in the "Adding to Home Assistant" section. I wasn't aware there was even such a thing as a ESPHome Dashboard. Oh well the blame is half mine for failing to flip the page. I sorted it, and it doesn't detract from my satisfaction. This product/company deserves applause for a good product that works as advertised and then some. And it deserves support for providing a consumer-friendly product. Let Google, Amazon, and Apple duke it out with Tuya, Sonoff, and dozens of other wannabe smart-thing tycoons with their restrictive and mutually exclusive ecosystems, i suspect the future is in open source and interoperability. I'm usually stingy with my reviews and few products get five stars from me. This one is deserving. ... show more

    • NON-ISOLATED UNGROUNDED POWER SUPPLY. (~100VAC to EARTH GND from 3.3v)
Number of Items: 1
This unit has a NON-ISOLATED and UNGROUNDED power supply for the MCU. This means that it can easily electrocute you if you do not directly power it with DC. It is also nearly impossible to disassemble. I would not recommend this to anyone who is looking for a smart plug to make custom firmware for or tinker on, it is just too dangerous to use any part of this in a project without optical isolation. ... show more
