WiFi power strips?

Post by Plantje »

Currently I have two Greenwave power strips with 6 outlets. It is a pity that they are not sold anymore.

So I started looking for an alternative and found stuff like:

Will it be possible to add those to Domoticz?

I'm using Meross and I'm feeling pretty good with them

I use a python script to send ON/OFF command and Alexa via NodeRed to get them Sync with domoticz

I'm not able to write a plugin for them, but this is somthing I would try in the future

Seems https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/Wifi-Sma ... 86078.html that there is an ESP8285 inside and is possible to get Tasmota on it.

More info on that: https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmo ... -USB-ports

I'm a little bit confused...

So, it is not possible to buy a WiFi power strip, hit some sort of connect button and add the device to Domoticz in a way that is similar to adding Z-Wave devices or 433Mhz devices?

nope... it does not works like that...

You buy the power stripe, add a virtual button (one per each outlet on the stripe) and activate a script that will interact with the vendor cloud.

Note that those outlets do NEED internet connection, unless they would not work.

Thank you for that reply. So, this is not at all an alternative to the Greenwave Powernode 6. Too bad :(
