Sonoff are excellent. CE certified, I've only used the wire in one's, but they work as well as the TP link plugs I have for a fraction of the price

They work well but the ewelink app for your phone to control them drains my battery by 7% over the course of the day sitting idle. Not just my phone as my friend uses sonoff too and he experiences the same battery drain. The reponsiveness is instant for on off but at the cost of high battery drain.

Why wont it add to basket

UK plug type not available

Can anyone confirm if this will work with IFTTT?

still 4.56 :

Thanks, ordered 2. The buy button didn't work with Firefox on my PC but it worked OK with Chrome

Brilliant thanks, ordered two also using Chrome, I had to refresh the page twice before it would show the UK as available.

Cheers, ordered 2. Cheap for experimenting on how useful such a thing may be to me

The inline modules are £2.50 ish also, ordered a couple of the plugs and 4 inline modules, cheers

Wont allow me to add uk to basket oos?

Only showing as 18% off now for me. (£9.10)

Just allowed me to add one to basket? Why is this expired??

Nope same here £9.10 and wont add to basket.

showing 800 +left for me. i have to refresh to get price to drop.

showing as 4.56 for me still. Not sure why deal is expired

Thanks ordered 4 and 2 switches too.

seems good value but I'm not sure what I'd use it for. Any restrictions due to ampage or watts on this?

Why has this been expired? I just ordered two. Be patient with the website and use your computer (didn't work on mobile for me).

revised link again and mine gone up,, gues I try clearing cookies, is there any good for a 13 amp extension cable and is there a switch i can clamp on light wiring, will this work simply with alexa

Ordered two - thanks for sharing - heat added :-)

Mine gone through ordered 5...Thanks OP

I've never bought from Banggood before; is free shipping ok, or do other tracked options get more attention from Customs?

not bad price ordered four.

Will flash with Tamsota like the rest of my inline Sonoffs to use with my Openhab system.

been cutting up some old PC kdettle leads and using the inline modules with these cpc.farnell.com/web…180 to make remote extension cables.

Thanks OP...Just ordered one to see if it is as good as my tp link plugs that work well with Home and Alexa.
I am in the same boat as terriclarkfan...never used banggood before...went for extra 71p priority mail.
What is the best mail option for them in the future??....as I know a lot of peeps on here use them regularly.
Guessing no customs/tax etc for orders under £15??
Cheers for any help!!

will. there be oka for 13 amp extension cable

all these delivery option such as insurance and drop bangood from packaging, which is best one

Can these be used with a 4 way extension?

Ordered 4, will sell my 2 x TP link plugs if these are decent enough. Thanks OP

Don't forget TopCashback - taking another 7.87% off

Are they safe wired on an extension lead? They look like they're designed to be wired out of reach, for example in a light fitting.

What's drop label banggood tho

SHOWING AS oos.

wonder if xiomi do one of these?

thats why you flash your own firmware so you are not reliant on 3rd party web services.

Tamsota with Wemo emulation works a treat with Alexa.

What is an inline module?

showing as 11 quid now

oh well i just got inline for lights and one 16 amp for extension cable

Showing as £11.07 now when you go to the page.

can u put app to sleep, can u flash inline

Expired. Showing £11:07 and the UK plug is no longer available

Do you know what the switches do? I'm wondering if they switch regular non smart items on/off or whether they switch sonoff smart things on/off (to save having to use the app).

Still working, i just refreshed the page and went down to the 4 quid price

I've also gone for a couple of the inline switches, not really sure why.....

Excellent price! I have been after a smart plug for a while... works with alexa so I presume I can just tell Alexa to turn on my tv for example? I have bought 3 of them for that price!

1831 pcs left for deals price,Expected restock on 1st October 2017

I just purchased 4 for £18.24! thanks OP!

thinking more towards xmas and being able to control the lights from Alexa to save me going in behind the TV ;-)

Hi,
Do these switches work in UK, are they replacement light switches for the wall?
Checked reviews but couldn't establish.

Cheers

Ordered, can't go wrong for less than a fiver

UK plug oos. Sad

Just bought 2 so still good, thanks op

Product cost 4.61£, I list this on ebay for £6.99 after fees and such i might make 1.50£ not alot but if you sold hundreds and had 20+ other products you can make a living, this is what dropshipping is, it basically send it out without a branded box and no receipt or invoice so the person receving does not feel annoyed he could of got cheaper

I really want one of these, but I'm struggling to think of a legitimate use for them that isn't just a "because I can" novelty use, Guess I could get Alexa to turn off the floor lamp instead of using my foot to press the button

I'm still playing with settings to try and get it to stop draining. I have a widget setup - button on android home screen that toggles on and off for one of my lights but my friend does not have this and still experiences the same drain. I experience the 7% drain from when I was using only the inline modules and then also with a combination of inline and sockets. I then adjusted the settings so that the app cant send data while on 4G so hopefully that will stop the constant communication between devices and phone which I'm testing at the minute. I would be happy to sacrifice responsiveness in exchange for no battery drain. Wemo doesn't drain battery at all but is a lot more expensive and a lot less responsive.

Took a while but now working fine at £4.56 here too.

Yes these are replacment light switches. I am hoping they work in UK. I have previously bought the touch ones from eBay and have worked fine.

These are replacement light switches for the wall. I have previously bought the touch ones from eBay and have worked fine. These are touch with Wifi so you should be able to switch your lights etc on/off with a touch on the wall socket or by using the app/Alexa.

I'm pretty sure those light switches need a neutral wire and therefore are no good in most UK houses. I might be wrong though.

Just ordered two UK ones. Says stock back in 1st October but don't mind waiting

yay got the plug, ordered the alexa dot for 35 , and couple of inline to clamp on light wire to bulb, so i can alexa light off, how thing i trying to work out, is how to connect echo dot too av amp as if by aux, my fire stick runs on hdmi , or should i just shub a pringles speaker to the dot,

Great post, great timing. Had a few Sonoffs on my wishlist for a while, now was definitely the time to buy. Went with the wired options including the power monitor ones as the plugs don't report power usage unlike zwave devices.

Can you not just exit the app from the background tasks so it's not using the battery?

Only the Chinese (= Australian) version, and in 2 variants, wifi and zigbee.
But you'd also need 2 adapters.

Where'd you get the Amazon Echo Dot for £35?

Ordered a UK one with tracked shipping. Cheap enough to use with a fan with a mechanical on/off switch in the bedroom.

I can't stand all these deals for cheap Chinese goods....



I end up buying things I never thought I needed ,just because they are soooo cheap.

£6.67 now

SO CHEEKY! If the price goes up from £4.56, use a VPN and it will go back down when it thinks you are someone else.

Connect through a VPN in ingognito mode in Chrome. Goes back down. Cheeky!

£9.10 for me no matter how I get to the page using iPhone. I tried with vpn incognito etc but no luck

Same here. tried 2 different vpns and browsers...seems gone.

Can someone tell me what does this do is it wifi extender

It looks like the same design of case used for lighting transformers that are mounted in the ceiling cavity.

That version also isn't CE approved, they have others that at least bare a CE mark.

Out of stock of UK ones

Could I glue this into a plug socket to turn an Xbox on

Why would you glue it?

Yes.

anyone still able to get 4.56? I am getting 6.67, tried various ways, with VPN, without VPN etc

amazon student account and nus discount

WARNING! On the circuit diagram for these they mention three wires
GND I presume ground
Zero I presume earth
FIRE - gfto ! no more grenfell's

just bought five of these for £22 odd and an echo from an older post for £75 (had £5 credit) not bad for under a ton

B&M do a twin pack remote control for less than £9 including the controller which you can add up to 4 remote plugs to it.

Chrome, cleared cookies and still £6.67

Showing as £6.67 now.

With WIFI and the ability to control through Alexa?

is the app safe, looking at permissions it needs to take pictures, record audio and control flash lights, once set up can i remove app and let axela control it

on andoiid you can refuse it certain permissions, it asks for taking pics because you take pic of qr code setting up so disallowing it will be fine, sometimes apps dont work when some things are off so cant tell you for sure but most likley can

I

grr, showing backorder 1st Oct for dispatch

ordered quite early and said nothing come back hours later mines been back logged the cheek of it :@

so it cant be removed and bypassed?

Only 10A. Chocolate teapot

£5.95 now.

Why? What would you want to (safely) control that would/could draw more than that?

Can somebody advise what Sonoff product I need please.
Basically want to control my ceiling lights so i can switch them on/off remotely from an app but also from a switch plate on the wall.
I don't like the idea of buying smart bulbs as the should be consumables that you may wish to change if you decide to change light fittings etc.
Sonoff seem to have a wall plate switch but i'm reading elsewhere that it wouldn't be suitable/safe for UK wiring (house built in 80s)

Will this work with Logitech Harmony Hub?

Because a huge amount of devices such as heaters, kettles and coffee machines are rated as requiring 13A? Because other switches are rated at 13A

Available again for £4.55 now.

As long as the appliance is rated under 2200W, it will do fine so hardly unusable.

Thanks - really glad I sat on this yesterday when it went up

Strange that just installed app and dont get any power drain Dont know if makes any difference but phone is pepsi p1s
flashed with Koobee H7 rom and rooted

and can you control them with app on your you phone anywhere in the world

This is available again. @ £4.51

They're fused at 13A, but that's because they need to draw more than 5A, not necessarily because they need 13A. 10A will run almost everything in your house with no issues.

But the key word is safely - controlling a heater or toaster remotely is a recipe for a potentially deadly fire.

True - which is why I've never understood why there's a picture of an iron on the Belkin Wemo plug box!

delivery confrimation received this morning.

10A limit is likely to do with the fact that most EU countries provide 10A outlets for the most part (with only the odd ones rated at 16A in kitchens etc). Nobody is going to make a 13A version for the UK (requiring different relays for switching etc) when 10A EU versions will do the same job for 99% of uses.

I'd agree the coffee machine (likely 1000-1800W rating) is probably safe owing to where it's going to be kept, but something like an oil radiator, even set on low, is a very bad idea as you only need someone to cover it (drape a coat over it, or push it up against a sofa etc) and you have yourself a nice oil fire!

As for multiple items - 10A is actually a lot of current, giving you 2300 W to play with. If you aren't involving irons or other heating appliances then you're really unlikely to get anywhere near that kind of power. Maybe in years gone by you could have pulled that kind of current if you had a particularly impressive Christmas lights display, but with LEDs nowadays you'd have to be lighting up Blackpool to get anywhere near.

Anyone got these yet? Mine says it was shipped on 9th but not received yet and tracking number doesn't work.

Bit optimistic, they are shipping from China, usually take at least 2 weeks

Just got a email saying out of stock after I ordered saying in stock what a joke

I got a similar email too. Wondering what to do. Anyone any idea

Got an email today saying they had shipped

Me too, shipped!

I ordered one when there was stock and that was marked shipped within 4 days.
Ordered another one mins later and was marked as stock due in Oct....this order was marked as shipped yesterday 24/9.
Guess you just need patience with places like Banggood and Gearbest:-))
Only need to arrive now...but patience again and I am sure that they will!!

Just got mine delivered.

1st one delivered today.
Great bit of kit.
Works seamlessly with Google Home and Amaz Echo.
Just as good as the tp link that I own but at a fraction of the price.
Thanks OP

I got it paired with Alexa without any problem although rather confusingly it's listed under Ewelink Smart Home Fan!
How did you get it paired with Google Home? I can't see it on the list of devices

UPDATE - found it under Smart We Link! Has anyone figured out how to link it with IFTTT?

Mine just arrived, despite my order showing UK I have received AU

Whats the correct app to use on ios please? Im trying to use ewelink smart home but it's not working?

Got mine today, proper UK ones too. Not tried them yet.

received yesterday. UK socket. All set up and working well now after some initial messing around.

Very responsive. No delay even when not connected through WIFI.

Only 2.4G WIFI supported but don't think that will be an issue for most.

Got mine today! Cant wait to set them up tonight and compare them to my tp links

Mine make a slightly louder click when switching but other than that every bit as good!

Still not had my 4 i ordered. Hope to get them soon.

Mine have been showing as local courier sorting office since the 28th

I get this when clicking Track.... Wtf

dpdgroup.hk is currently using domain parking service provided by:

HONG KONG DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION COMPANY LTD. (HKDNR)

I also get that on one of my orders

I have ordered from this company and other similar sites. They do sometimes take AGES but I have not yet had an order lost or not turn up.
It just sucks to have to wait

Received a couple today, simple to setup and work well

Instructions for iOS ssigjern.dk/man…pdf You need to download qr code reader. On the app choose ap as the device and WiFi password is 12345678. On alexa you need to add the ewelink skill and then discover devices

Turned up today and i ordered not long after this deal was posted so everyone hopefully should be receiving theirs soon Not decided on Google or Amazon yet though so they won't be used for a while. Regarding the watts and amps debate, had a quick google and found this as a rough guide electricalsafetyfirst.org.uk/gui…gs/.

Seems that if you are sensible and don't go for a high rated appliance (kettle, heater toaster etc) you should be able to run a few devices from one wifi socket. I think my first attempt when i get around to it will be an extension lead running a TV, STB and a few consoles. Should be well under budget on both watts and amps.

Got 2 of these and set up the first one and seems to work fine with the app. One question. Those saying they are using it with Google Home or Alexa do you mean you need a device to do this? I have Google Home app which controls my Chromecast audio but can find nothing there to be able to control things like WiFi plugs. Do you need the Google Home bit of kit rather than just the app?

If you want voice activation then these switches can be made to work with amazon echo and google home.

Mine turned up today and it was fairly straightforward to make them work with my amazon echo. I can now say 'Alexa, turn on my lounge lamp'
