It looks like all the Lidl stuff that you have shown is well-made and not bad quality!
I was interested until it was said "why would you want to" when it came to switching USB sockets.
I want Zigbee controlled inline USB switching but as they don't seem to exist because of this crazy attitude that demands we waste electricity every chance we get, I have to adapt a Sonoff Basic mains switch (which are really good) to run off USB power and have a USB socket. I don't WiFI USB sockets … I have too much WiFI. I like Zigbee. I have everything set-up on Zigbee. I prefer 868Mhz stuff – I like WirelessThings LLAP … but we have to make do with what we can and 2.4GHz Zigbee which can mesh is pretty reliable and does most of what I want.
I don't want to power circuitry just for the hell of it, wasting electricity as unwanted heat.
I just wanna switch 5V. I like USB stuff. I have lots of USB stuff. I want to switch it. Without having to get out a soldering iron.
Why is this such a taboo thing? Why do people say "why would you want to?" ????????
There is no "CLOUD". It is just another person's computer!
Pity you can't control or get any indication from the usb ports
The Schuko plug (France and a lot of Europe use) is rated at 16A
This switching on with litle delay is very clever. It helps a lot if you have 2 or 3 devices with switching power source plugged in to deal with inrush current.
Yay we leaving the eu, no more safety manuals! We're in control now!
The flat not good shielded WiFi cable is used as an antenna to funnel trash frequency into your switch 🙂
First thing to go to the bin
+Julian Ilet since when are appliances "CE" certified? That mark is worthless 110% it won't help a fart when you hurt yourself..
Go to Lidl oh noe they are the seller not the maker, please sue the manufacturer in China..
You get nothing inside Europe if you die from any of these devices
Don't as how I know
I never use cloud connected resources in my home for home automation. (i) there are significant security vulnerabilities, and (ii) we've had instances of consumer DoS because the vendor decides to end-of-life the product range and turns off the cloud service. IMO, better to control this sort of device locally using Home Assistant and Zigbee to MQTT bridge. A bit of a learning curve, but a lot of capability using Free and Open Source stacks.
3120 watts
*cries in 1800 watts american nonsense where the whole CIRCUIT can only do 1800w
Literally A hairdryer and you're at 100% of the circuit
Warning if any one buy the lidl gateway. It does not work with Alexa only google
"I'm not really a smart home enthusiast" and then he says he says he use Hey Google device (Google Assistant).
i really do not want ANY "smart" device in my home, and absolutely not Google Assistant, do not want a device like that, that listens 24/7 everyday, really do not like Big Tech that much.
"IRL" is NOT Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is part of the UK. For the moment!
Dear God, I've seen dodgy overseas ones with better soldering.
isnt zigbee what your smart electric and gas meter use for a supposedly secure interface to the central metering database? Great! so someone can buy that network hub and see your meters on the network LOL
