Anyone got any of the above they want to sell? Not fussed on the brand. I'm using Xiaomi now as shown below but a couple of my older ones have started to fail and regularly drop offline and are almost impossible to pair.

I will have a hunt around on the weekend. I have some that I dont know how good they are. I know at least one has died as I was just using it as a plug adapter for a US pinned wall wart and it didnt come back after the last power outage.

Thanks, that would be appreciated.

I ended up installing Zigbee2MQTT that has the ability to update firmware automatically and it found that all of my Zigbee switches needed new firmware dated 24/12/2021. The process takes about 15m per device but since doing that, all of my switches have been significantly more reliable.

I just left the device in deCONZ, paired it with Zigbee2MQTT, updated the firmware, deleted it from Zigbee2MQTT then re-paired it with deCONZ and everything just started working again.

I don’t have any zigbee ones as I never found anything I trusted - I ended up with ESPHome based ones by Athom. I have two of the older model ones (that block adjacent sockets :( ) sitting unused if that are of any interest

They can integrate directly with home assistant if that’s your jam, but can also operate via MQTT

I think I've got one of those Xiaomi ones pictures in a drawer. PM me if you are still after one and I can check :-)

Thank you but I'm actually OK now that I've upgraded the firmware on them.

So how do you check the firmware on the Xiaomi smart plugs?

They're currently working ok for me but would like to know in case i might need to do the same thing that you have done in the future.
