I first bought SwitchBot smart plugs thinking they would work with the Core SwitchBot integration with Home-Assistant, extremely disappointed in not only the broken integration, but also the terms of service from a company that has had a lot of recent YouTube praise. Unfortunately, it just shows the known ignorance and total abandonment of values in the name of convenience... Enter HACS and Sonoff; While Sonoff is also doing some data mining it is possible to run the S31 Smart Plugs completely local without the app or the cloud using HACS on Home-Assistant with no fooling with jumpers or fussing with flashing. Several recent HA forum posts and YouTube videos cover the procedure, just look for the most current so you can follow along more easily since the recent changes. Also, Stay away from the S40 if you use Home-Assistant. S31 is the way to go. Deducted a star for the shady terms of service that are getting all too common with IoT products. Otherwise, it would be 5 stars.

I use for dehumidifier, Steamer, Online media box. I use for coffee maker to start 8 am. Surprised it made coffee 12pm lunch time. Too many ads in the app. For 4$ each. And Wi-Fi. CAnt beat the price but not perfect.

Very easy to set up and use. They all work flawlessly. Im very happy with them.

The Sonoff isnt the smallest, but I needed an outlet with local control and power monitoring. I was able to flash Tasmota onto the outlet in about 5 minutes, as the Sonoff is easily disassembled. With Tasmota firmware running on the outlet, all control is local with Home Assistant. There is no need to pair the device with a server in a far away country and there is no communication going on outside of my house. In fact, I put all of my IoT devices on a VLAN that does not have any access to the internet or my normal household network. Keep everything local with local control and keep spyware out of your home.

I have a dozen of these to monitor and control roof heaters remotely. Also use to automatically turn off space heaters.

Easy to setup and easy to use.

I cracked this baby open as soon as I received it and flashed Tasmota onto it without any issues. Works great!

Pretty good, but kinda bulgy. Still good

I needed a method to measure electricity usage on my solar water heater backflush system. It has 1 small pump that moves the heated fluid from the rooftop solar panel to a heat exchanger tank, then another pump draws cold water from the bottom of water tank thru the heat exchanger and dumps the heated water into the top of my tank. The pumps run only when the temperature sensor on the roof senses the temp is warmer than the cold water in the bottom of my tank, so it happens sporadically as the weather changes. This device lets you put in the cost per kWh so it shows the actually cost of energy. Works perfectly for me. Also, these pumps only use about $5 of electricity per month.
