I wanted to order a "smart plug", i.e. an intermediate plug whose consumption I can read on my mobile, but as expected, you have to register with the manufacturer with an account for every device I have looked at so far in order to use the respective app. An absolute no-go. Is there even such a device that works without data theft? (Why not a non-smart plug with an integrated display? Because 1. the sockets are rarely accessible without enormous effort. 2. because usually only the current consumption can be read. I already have one. Never used it).

Sali zeme At the moment I have the steffen wireless switches to switch a few devices (mainly loudspeakers that make noise when the pc is off) that are slowly breaking down and are no longer available in the shop. i could just replace them with the new and hopefully better ones, but as i now have my homeassistant setup with hue and nanoleaf lights, i thought it would be a good idea to buy plugs that are integrated with them. The path of least resistance would be to just buy the hue plugs as I already have the hue bridge. But I think the ability to measure power consumption would also be good. tldr; my goal: prio 1: switch prio 2: measure and at the same time: - swiss plug - home assistant integration for switching (and possibly measuring) as little hacky as possible - as little fiddling and phone home with proprietary apps, clouds and accounts as possible is that possible? e.g. when i google the brands here in the shop i come across home assistant integrations for the brand - but then not for the plugs - or for the plugs but not with measurement - or homeassistant possible but through smart things, tuya etc. cloud integration zigbee sounds like a way to go, with the hue bridge I actually also have a zigbee gateway, but I don't understand if there are limits to the functions compared to a zigbee gateway like the one from Nabu Casa in the discussion about the hombli plugs i found the recommendation: "Eve Energy CH with Matter over Thread", should I just get a thread border router like the one from espressif? if i need an app just to pair, that's ok, but not permanently on the internet just to control my stuff in the house

Hey Galaxus Team It would be great if the WLAN Smartplugs could be filtered by frequency (2.5GHz/5GHz). I didn't realise at the beginning that some of the plugs only work with 2.5GHz and had to set up a separate 2.5GHz network, as I only use 5GHz for everything else... Thanks and regards Chris

Is there a pure measuring "counter"? I would like the device to simply record consumption, e.g. hourly, so that I can somehow download the data later. That way I can find out when and how much electricity is consumed and also compare it with the electricity bill to see how much it amounts to. I could do all the data preparation myself. Ah, and as I would like to have a lot of devices, favourable unit prices would of course be an advantage. As far as I can see, most socket meters are designed to display the current consumption, they may calculate the tariffs immediately and/or you can switch them on/off remotely. I don't want to have to read the values all the time.

Good day, I am looking for a plug with which I can switch the power of a socket on and off and control this with Homekit. I also need a SmartSwitch to control this. Does anyone have a suggestion? I can't find anything. mfg Marvin
