ANglEAUT:

It's still an adapter in between, so adds an additional 38mm to the height of the plug. As mentioned very early on on the thread, they are still too big to fit comfortably next to each other on a 2 plug power point.

Been a while… I’ve been using these since I got them last year. No issue. Was thinking about getting some more, and found this video from late last year

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSEezVtnBoA

appears the older ones (eg shipped in 2022…) have a design flaw. A bad one.

They are now shipping a new, fixed version. Might be worth upgrading if you have them. Better than burning the house down or getting fried. Might be related to how/why the one I had blew up…

Notice:

The plugs shipped after 21st Jan 2022 are upgraded new version , HLW8032 consumption monitoring chipset build in, NO calibration needed,”

pullup: true

inverted: true

on_press:

- switch.toggle: relay

- platform: status

switch:

- platform: gpio

id: red_led

pin:

number: GPIO12

inverted: true

- platform: gpio

pin: GPIO5

id: relay

on_turn_on:

- switch.turn_off: red_led

Those brilliant ones aren’t still flashible are they? I haven’t thought about esphome over tasmota.

I came to exactly the same conclusion, although I didn't take it further. Good on him for reporting it.

Nice, thanks! Definitely time to upgrade.

That's a good point, I think I heard that they may not be flashable anymore. Mine was from Nov 21 so old enough.

Hopefully the one you have is flashable, and that config should work on it. From memory, I had to do a bit of trial and error to get the right GPIO's set.

Yep. Not quite as built into to home assistant as esphome is, but still pretty integrated. They're pretty easily discovered in incorportated.
