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.

I can happily confirm that the set I just received is now running Tasmota!

Flashed OTA with Tuya Convert and all is well. I've even given them static IP's and (of course) incorporated them into another in-home (never mind US-based) ecosystem.
I added this onto the Tuya app and plan to add onto HomeAssistant once I get my server back up. What are the benefits of tasmota? I'll read up in the meantime.

tuya-convert didn't work for me. It had been a while since I used the tool last with my RPiZW so I could have missed a step I suppose.

Anybody happen to have one of these and check the quiescent current both when the plugs are turned on and off? Between the always active wifi and 3 individual relays it could be as high as several watts when all relays are active, which is less than ideal if your primary goal is power savings.

At the risk of massive oversimplification, it's like equipping them with their own very simple web server/interface, allowing both direct interaction (as in via ANY browser) and integration with any number of apps/ecosystems via open standards.

I stick [almostly] entirely to Zigbee (and the like) simply because I can use in-home, non-internet/China based servers. That whole marketing benefit of "no hub required" basically translates to "these devices connect via wifi to a server in a country that requires companies to share with the [anti-US] government". In an even more important (and less paranoid sounding) way, it also means I can control my house even if my access to the internet is interrupted.

As long as it's under 15 Amps for all the outlets combined but you can find a lot better options than one of these.

I had one of these that I used for 2 years and then the Wi-Fi part of it crapped out. I could never get it to connect to the app or to my network after that

I realized I had upgraded from Raspbian buster to bullseye since I had last successfully used tuya-convert so I created a new image with buster and was able to flash Tasmota!

Is Tuya the new free IFTTT since IFTTT sucks now for free users?

I have a couple of these. They work fine but I wish they had a screw to attach them to the outlet more firmly. Minor gripe though. There is also a smaller version with the same 3/1 outlet setup which does have a screw attachment that is on sale 2 for 20.
