Aurora AOneZigbee Double Smart Socket (Switched 13A) with Power Monitoring, Works with Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT, ZHA

No fuss installation, the were immediately picked up by hubitat and added simple automation rules. The switch leds can be turned adjusted so you barely see the color which is perfect as most people wouldn't want a power socket to get too much attention.

Works well, pairs with zigbee hub easily and appears in HomeAssistant (I’m using ZHA via ConBee ii)NB though that although it has power monitoring (Watts) it doesn’t have energy monitoring (Wh, kWh). In HomeAssistant you can approximate the kWh by using a Riemann Sum Integral helper, and then a “utility meter” helper on top of that, but it’s only an approximation. Pics added showing how to do that.Also ignore the current (Amps) it displays as that’s wildly inaccurate (e.g. even when both sockets are idle with nothing plugged in, one shows 92A the other 9A)

Spent 4 hours trying to get this thing connected. There is no app anymore for it, will not connect to the ZigBee network regardless.It looks nice but the lights are bright and a little annoying. Will return this.

I have two of these sockets now- frequent polling updates, and works well with Home Assistant ZHA.Had a few quirks on the initially supplied firmware: after running a power drill, the wattage readings were zero for both sockets. Had to reset (cut power at the fuse board) to reset it.After that, I decided to firmware upgrade them, but couldn't manage to do it with ZHA. Ended up installing Zigbee2MQTT (Z2M) on another device with another ZigBee USB device (Sonoff) in order to do the update through that, and then re-pair it with ZHA again. One socket was reading 20+ kW power after upgrade, and needed to reset at the fuse board to get it reading correctly.Has been working fine since, but wish ZHA supported the firmware upgrade, and I should really check to see if there's a reset option without having to cut power to the house.Cumulative/Daily usage in HA requires creation of a 'utility' resource, but documentation makes that easy enough.I have two of these sockets, and would recommend them! Inclusion of the depth collar was a nice touch. Screws and caps are tucked in the back of the socket, so remember to remove those before installing!

There is no earthing of the screws, this socket does not comply with BS1363. If the screws or a metal backbox become energised then there is no protection from electric shock. The bar for earthing should extend to wrap around the screw holes, which is not the case with this double socket. It is dangerous.

This is a great generic Zigbee double socket. It was easy enough to install and super easy to pair with Home Assistant (it went straight into pairing mode on first power up). It’s super fast and works nicely to increase my network mesh too.The only issue I’ve noticed is that pressing the first button to toggle the left hand socket works fine as you’d expect and it updates right away in Home Assistant. But the right hand button works but never updates in Home Assistant so it gets out of sync, which is no doubt a software issue I’m hoping they fix.

I used this in an outdoor box and successfully connected it to Zigbee2MQTT and Home Assistant without any tech issues. I found remote switching, reporting of power usage and some control over the brightness of the switch lights to work from Home Assistant.I dropped a star for ease of installation because it was a bit too big to fit in the outdoor box that I bought separately to put it in. Luckily for me I found another outside box which it did fit into.It did not fit in the BG Electrical WP22-01.It did fit in the old WCED WPS213 that I already had but is currently unavailable on Amazon.

Amazon product page and Aurora website claim this is fully supported by ZHA. I've tried for 4 days straight to get this paired but have not been able to-- on some forums I managed to find a couple people using the same Zigbee controller as me pair via ZHA successfully so I may have gotten a dud unit.I've purchased 2 more as the power monitoring is very desirable-- I will update my review if they pair successfully but so far am not impressed.
