These were a lifesaver when I had Xfinity and their useless tech support couldn't figure out why they were dropping signal on my modem.

You need to compile your own build of Tasmota to enable the PING command, but I had it so it would ping Google every 5 minutes to determine whether I had internet or not. If it was down, it would cycle the outlet the modem was connected to.

The scripting language in Tasmota is robust enough that I was able to have it add time between flipping the power if it had consecutive unsuccessful ping/flip sequences, thus putting less strain on the relay.

The only downside (possible upside if you like auditory queues) is that the relays are pretty loud. They definitely won't work well in any quiet setting.

You can with SwitchBot plugs. I set the threshold for 1 watt for power tool chargers. Hope this helps.

It's relevant if you are a true slickdealer and don't even need the product.

Quote from FairNest1755 :
How many of the 4 outlets are switchable using an app? Do all of them turn on/off at the same time or are they independently switching?
3 are independent, 1 is always on.

It has three separate relays, all with individual power monitoring.

These are pretty nice. I have 2 running ESPHome so they are completely under my control. Since I have an older house I can always use a couple more outlets, too.

Edit: $9.50 for two December 2021
Do you mind sharing your YAML file for this? And did you have to open it to reflash or could you do it OTA?

Thanks

One of the major benefits of most Tuya compatible smart devices that can be converted is that they're OTA. Or at least it was with Tasmota.

I used a Raspberry Pi to serve up the binary.

I'm okay with Tasmota too since I run HA.

Hopefully these still work with tuya-convert

Not really in a good place to pull and share. But I figured it out using the Tasmota template (which if you are using HA you might just want to go this route?). https://templates.blakadder.com/kmc_4.html

Pretty sure I flashed mine OTA with a Pi zero w. It was a while ago.

2.4 wifi?
It's silly to put it on 5ghz with it's limited range. The device just sends tiny packets.

Would this work in a dorm situation with college wifi? Would other people be able to control it? Can it be locked down?

Also, the on/off button turns on/off all three. The three are individually controlled via app though.

Reading the comments and the review on Amazon, I'm not sure on this - but thank you - this could be a good automation tool! Just wish every one of these Smart apps used the same application!
