I have a bunch of these, but flashed with Tasmota firmware to free them from the cloud and run full local control, e.g. for Home Assistant.

3 independent switches. 1 always on. Total of 15 amps (Each switch can handle 15 amps)
Energy is only monitored from the 3 switches not the always on.(Energy monitoring is for all switches not each individually.)

Oh I have 4 of these already. Once flashed with Tasmota or ESPHome, which is technical but not unmanageable, they become great local control outlets. ESPHome just works so fantastically with HomeAssistant. I really only use one of them, but I'm still so tempted to pick up another…

Edit:

To clear things up, these are more worth it if you use HomeAssistant and are planning to flash them to use ESPHome or Tasmota. They're not great by themselves, the app is crap, and lots of people don't trust Tuya (which this device is based on)

Can they still use google home as a secondary option if you do that?

Yes for Alexa, so almost certainly for Google. https://iotcircuithub.com/tasmota...ion-guide/

Edit: Yes, ish: https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Ma...th-Google/

Per description, ETL listed. In before the parade of "but no UL!" complainers.

What are folks using these for? As in what energy monitoring and/or remote/automated controlling of devices are you doing?

This can be added to Tuya, which can be integrated into Home Assistant. There is also a local Tuya HAS integration to control this locally from Home Assistant.

This is a great price. I've had them for a while. Use one to prevent the kids from playing with a power recliner.
Most of the things I'd want to energy monitor stay on permanently. I'm going to solder a relay bypass to prevent accidental power offs.
