THIRDREALITY ZigBee Smart Plug 4 Pack with Real-time Energy Monitoring,15A Outlet, Zigbee Repeater,ETL Certified,ZigBee Hub Required,Work with Home Assistant,Compatible Echo Devices and SmartThings

I have more than a dozen of these set up in my house via Home Assistant since at least January 2025 and they work great. I have automations set up for them (i.e. turning dehumidifiers on and off based on humidity and weather, bird bath heater based on outside temp, etc.), dashboards containing power usage stats, and buttons for turning things on and off in dashboards ("dumb" lights, small appliances, etc). Everything I need these plugs to do - they do without many problems. The firmware updates have been smooth, they are reliable, and seem to help with the Zigbee network for wireless devices further away from the coordinator (though anecdotal, I've never tested it, nor do I plan to). Easy to use, versatile, and quick reliable connection with a quality home zigbee hub. You can actually hear the relay clicking on and off when cycling the power, and I appreciate the button on the side to manually trigger the plug in case you need to. The only downside and issue I run into with these is the size. They are a bit large and don't easily allow for multiple to be connected in one duplex outlet, and they take up a lot of space on horizontal power strips. I try and use these with well spaced vertical power strips for multiple devices and stay mindful of space when thinking of a use case. I have never tested the power consumption of the devices themselves, but I imagine it's negligible.

Manual states that they are good for up to 15 amps, 1500 watts. Looks like it is good for it. I am running 1200+ watts through one right now. I thought I had killed one. I was wrong. We seemed to be having another power problem that cause one unit to flake out. A power outage the other day that turned out to be a bad connection at my house electric company meter proved that the socket itself had not gone bad. It was just 'scrambled' / 'confused'. The manual for these tells how to perform a factor reset. I did. It still would not show up in my zigbee devices. It took a lot of fussing to work out it was stuck in bluetooth pairing mode. Eventually I worked out how to get it out of that mode and become visible again as a zigbee device. Major pain in the butt. But it is back online and works correctly. So, verdict? It does work. It is responsive to zigbee commands. It works fine with household portable heaters. I took my newly recovered socket and put it onto a heater that has a nasty bug: If the power goes off at the heater, when it comes back on it is running at full power, with no high temperature limit. So I put it on the socket, and set the socket to not turn on after a power loss. That takes care of the risk if we are out of the house when a power outage occurs (however brief). I also put it there so I can monitor power use. That is a great feature on these. I can remotely see how much power the heater is drawing, and turn it off if I need to. Even when I am off in the wild world of fast food restaurants, or some such. Worth buying? Yes, if you are me. For the two reasons I noted above. If I go pickup another thermometer unit, I can setup a script that watches room temperature and can turn it on or off as needed automatically. Exactly what these are built for. I still stand behind the comment below about not using them for things like motors (that do not specifically have a 'soft start' feature). Those can kill any electronic switch not built for the power draw spike. ------ Old review.. take two grains of salt - I retract it.------ It looks like I managed to kill one by plugging in a room heater into it. This plug works great with Home Assistance , using Zigbee2MQTT. I could see from the power usage sensor that the heater was drawing up to 1300 watts. It seems to work fine. They have been connected together for a day or two. I even wrote an automation to turn it on in my home office before I start work. Just a few hours ago, I turned it off. But it did not turn off. The manual power button works on it. So I followed the instructions on how to wipe it back to factor default and re-pair to my Zigbee network. Removed the device from Home Assistant (HA) and stepped through pairing again. There she is! Add it back into HA and it shows up as a Zigbee Smart Plug from ThirdReality. But.. during the paring process there is an 'interview' stage where HA works out if the device is reporting sensor data and its attributes. This never completes. I bought the four pack and have only used two. So I delete this plug from HA and paired up another one. It paired up quickly and completed the 'interview' instantly. So... yeah.. Maybe just a bad one. Maybe I fried it. I have put the newly paired plug back on the heater. We shall see if it holds up over the next week. Outside of that consideration, I haven't had these very long. Not long enough to give a real review. Just share something you should know. Last little nugget of knowledge: Electronic switches (smart or just a timer) do not do well with major load spikes like running electric motors. That is why they are frequently suggested as not the right solution for things like pond or well pumps. You just burn them out. They do make electronic switches built to survive that workload. I will guess this is not that kind of switch. Be that as it may, so far these are working fine on low power draw workloads (like my desktop PC)

These smart plugs have been great so far. Home Assistant integration was a breeze! They also paired with my Echo hub in just a couple of minutes and have been totally reliable ever since. I use them for lamps and a coffee maker, and I like being able to track energy use and see what’s actually drawing power. The signal is strong too, acting like a repeater that keeps everything connected around the house. For a set of four, the price feels fair, and setup couldn’t have been easier.

These THIRDREALITY smart plugs work perfectly within Home Assistant (I’m using ZHA), and the setup was smooth. They paired quickly, and I love the real-time energy monitoring—it’s great for tracking usage. The compact size doesn’t block the second outlet, which is a huge plus. I’ve had no connectivity drops, and they also act as Zigbee repeaters, which improved my mesh network. It’s a solid value for four plugs. Just remember, you do need a Zigbee hub to get started.

These things are bullet proof. I've had devices from all sorts of popular (and expensive) brands. I've been disappointed by every single one except these THIRDREALITY devices. They just work. REALLY well. HomeAssistant integration with Zigbee is perfect. Could they flash their firmware faster? Sure. Repeater function works well, builds a nice mesh. Energy monitoring is excellent and has helped me build some really powerful automations. Handles some impressively heavy loads too. I have accumulated more than ~16 of these devices as a result of them being awesome.

All 4 Instantly connected to Home Assistant (Zigbee2MQTT) and have stayed connected. Have not used with heavy loads but works great for Christmas lights. Note: Has a loud relay click sound when turned on/off.

These were easy to pair in HomeAssistant with Zigbee2MQTT and my Sonoff adapter. They showed up quickly and integrated easily. They allowed me to turn non-smart devices (like a window fan) into smart devices that I can control remotely. I do like the power button on the side to control the device. The only downside that I've discovered so far is it's size. They are pretty big, but that may be required because of the relay inside. I'm not sure you could plug two of these into a duplex outlet.

These come packaged very densely in a small box, and work without any fuss in any existing Zigbee network. I plugged one in and added it to my Home Assistant setup (via the built-in ZHA support; requires a separate antenna, of course) trivially and without any hassle. The price of these is quite appealing, as they cost in the same range as other Zigbee smart plugs that *don't* have energy monitoring, but these have it as a handy feature. I haven't fully tested the energy monitoring up to 15A, as I don't have any devices I'd want to use with it that pull that much power, but it does a fine job of monitoring the draw from my 3D printer up to around 7A. The energy reporting via Zigbee isn't extremely continuous: it can take around 10-20 seconds per update, and they don't seem to always happen at consistent intervals. Nonetheless, it is still handy to be able to see power usage over time. The plug itself reports a number of statistics: voltage, AC frequency, current, instantaneous demand, power (in watts), power factor, and voltage. Besides the somewhat inconsistent timing of energy updates, my only complaint about these switches is their side button: the button itself needs to be pressed with a decent amount of force, and probably benefits from a little bit of exercise when you first get the switch. I had to press mine 2-3 times to get it to register the button press early on, but now (a couple months and maybe 20 physical button uses later), it seems fine. This is a minor complaint given that the button works well now, and more of a heads-up. Overall, this pack is a feature-packed great value. There are a couple minor areas for future improvements, but they haven't had much practical impact on my use of the plugs: if I needed more smart plugs, these are almost certainly what I'd buy.

I bought this 4-pack of Third Reality Zigbee smart plugs to replace my no longer working Wemo smart plugs, and they have been a huge improvement. Pairing them with Home Assistant was quick and straightforward using Zigbee, and they have been rock-solid ever since. They respond quickly to automations and manual control, and I have not experienced the random disconnects or reliability issues that I had with my old Wi-Fi plugs. The local control is fast, dependable, and the biggest advantage is that they do not rely on the cloud. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase and would definitely buy them again.

O plu funciona perfeitamente com Philips Hue (sem medição). Muito importante! Precisa de atualizar ele antes. A atualização é direta pelo APP e bluetooth, não precisa de nenhum hub ZigBee. Feita a atualização basta resetar o plug novamente e adicionar. Nas primeiras tentativas ele não apareceu no App Philips Hue, mas depois que tirei da tomada e resetei, consegui adicionar. No aplicativo HOME o plug entra como luz, basta alterar pra plug. Ele onsegue puxar a informação do Hue. Isso é ótimo, diferente dos plugs paralelos ZigBees (Hue + Home) que eu tenho.

Buen producto, lo uso para monitorear el consumo en lavadora y secadora y al conectarse a Home Assistant me avise cuando termine el ciclo. Son de buen material, fácil de hacer la conexión con Zigbee y sin problemas Anteriormente había comprado un sensor de vibración de la misma marca por lo que ya la conocia , y no defrauda, 100% recomendable

Excelentes. Se integran sin problema a Home Assistant usando Zigbee2MQTT, y sirven de repetidores fortaleciendo la red con buena señal. Los uso con un Sonoff ZB Dongle-E conectado a una mini-PC Intel N100 corriendo Home Assistant en una máquina virtual en Proxmox.

J'ai acheté ces prises intelligentes Zigbee et j'en utilise maintenant trois dans la maison (ventilateur sur pied, cafetière et lave-linge). Je suis vraiment impressionné par leur performance. Le pairage avec mon système Home Assistant (ZHA) s'est fait sans le moindre problème. La fonctionnalité de mesure de puissance électrique en temps réel est un vrai game-changer pour les automatisations avancées. J'ai pu transformer ma cafetière ordinaire en cafetière intelligente en détectant quand elle est en marche et arrêtée. Même chose pour mon lave-linge - je reçois maintenant une notification quand le cycle est terminé, juste en surveillant la consommation électrique. Bonus : ces prises agissent aussi comme des routeurs Zigbee, ce qui a considérablement renforcé et stabilisé mon réseau maillé. Depuis leur installation, mes autres appareils Zigbee sont beaucoup plus fiables. Seul petit bémol (et je chipote vraiment) : elles sont un peu larges, mais c'est le cas de pratiquement toutes les prises intelligentes sur le marché. Ça ne bloque pas les prises adjacentes dans mon cas. Pour ce prix, c'est un achat sans hésitation. Je les recommande sans réserve!
