Knightsbridge SN9000 2G DP Switched Socket, 13 A

Used it to replace an old double switched socket which had stopped working. This did the job and was a great price too.

I now have 3 of these units and they work flawlessly. They are not to deep which is great and fit most my standard double sockets. Wiring was easy and the knight bridge app worked well. It did take a few attempts to connect but that’s only because you need to press the power option on the sockets and get the lights flashing. Overall they are great value and a very easy way to not only add smart functionality with Alexa but more importantly also track energy usage across the house at a device level.

Used to remotely switch on 2 remote lighting sockets, total draw approx. 1,125 w (5 amp). Well within specs. On reboot works, then shortly after fails turns off and will not reconnect - re boot and will then reconnect for a short time again. Each instance time period for failure reduces. Having said which other 10 or so units all working ok and happy with these. Defective item replace from spare I had is stock and presently fine. A bit frustrated with amazon service as 2 attempts to get call back failed and just kept saying call failed try again but did manage to resolve refund through chat.

Works great

Just what I wanted

This socket hasn't missed a beat since I got it a few months ago. Until now. It drops off all networks. Dies over night. Needs power reset. Has become a total pain. Can I return it? Who knows. UPDATE: amazon offered refund on return 👍

I have bought several so called smart sockets, plugin and wall sockets. I currently use the Tuya platform for both WiFi and ZigBee smart devices but found some just don't work out the box. The lovely BG double sockets look good but currently don't work with Tuya. I ordered the Knightsbridge sockets and although they do have their own app, they work straight away with Tuya using WiFi socket install. I also have 2.4 and 5ghz WiFi with same said. I did not have to separate them, it connects directly. Great socket, easy to configure.

Originally bought for the decking lights in the garden. Setup is easy and straight forward. The app is really good and also tells you energy consumption for each socket. Bought a second and used it as an extension lead so I could check how much energy certain appliances were using after the hike in energy prices. If they had USB sockets I would seriously think about changing the sockets in the house.
