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.

    • Exactly what I needed
Number of Items: 4
I've been looking for a good power plug monitor for years. Imagine my surprise when I found one that not only lets me monitor power use, but also allows me to control it remotely? Amazing! First off the packaging is excellent. Box it comes it is both easy to open yet sturdy feeling to protect the product in shipping. Inside is exactly what you might want. The plug and a user manual. Setup requires a bit of technical knowledge. I wouldn't recommend this product to a total beginner with home automation. I had to get ESPHome setup on its own, as the integration with Home Assistant didn't work with my install. Not a huge deal, but it did take me 30 minutes of googling. That's more an issue with ESPHome lacking clean documentation than this product though. Once it was setup? Easy as heck to use. Lots of nice controls. You can control the LED state of the switch with ease, even down to the brightness. The on/off functionality is excellent and very responsive. Even the physical button has a nice sturdy click to it. The only thing I can not really comment on is the lifespan of the product. I have 4 to test with, so we will see after a few years if they stand up to the test of time. Cannot wait to see what other products this vender makes! So far they are excellent! ... show more

    • Great for Home Assistant
Number of Items: 1
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

    • Great product

I have many different smartplugs and this is by far the most powerful. Integration into home assistant was seamless. The “device is on” feature that exposes an entity when plugged in device is drawing power was perfect for my use case making automations super easy.

    • Perfect for Home Assistant

Home Assistant can be a bit of a hurdle but if you're already in, then this is great. Love all the features! Mine came with firmware 2.056, which is newer than what's available on GitHub. Time to update the GitHub, KAUF.

    • 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

I bought this in May, now less than 2 months later all the device does is blink when plugged in and fails to turn anything connected to it on. Buyer beware.

Works great out of the box. The Home Assistant stuff and meters/sensors are nice I guess, but for my use case just being able to hit the api to toggle the switch was exactly all I needed., E.g., http://[your device ip]/switch/kauf_plug/toggle
