Sengled Smart Plugs: Connect to SmartThings and Amazon Echo for Voice-Controlled Home Automation

William Young: Quick and easy to pair with home assistant / standard zigbee, entities were available including all states of energy monitoring you could ask for to run automations.

Also acts as a zigbee router / extender to increase the mesh coverage!

James D. CliftonJames D. Clifton: I’ve bought several Sengled Smart Plugs and have them integrated into my Raspberry Pi Home Assistant and it has proven to be a reliable and versatile addition to my smart home ecosystem. I use them to control aquarium lights, Christmas lights, and heat lamps.
Though a bit wide, the Sengled Smart Plug is compact where it counts, allowing it to blend seamlessly with any décor and most importantly still allows the second plug to be used. The build quality feels robust, ensuring durability over time.
Setting up the Sengled Smart Plug was super simple and worked the same for each plug. Within a matter of seconds, I had the smart plug connected to my hub (Home Assistant) and working as advertised.
This particular plug works using the zigbee protocol and requires a hub. It seamlessly integrates with popular voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, offering hands-free control with simple voice commands. Additionally, the compatibility with smart home platforms such as SmartThings and IFTTT enhances its versatility, allowing for advanced automation scenarios.
The ability to control connected devices remotely is a game-changer. Whether I'm away from home or...

Daniel Lo Nigro: These are my favourite smart plugs. They're ETL listed, support up to 1800W (15A at 120V), track power consumption, use Zigbee, work very well as Zigbee routers to extend your Zigbee network, work well with Home Assistant and Zigbee2MQTT, and are very well-priced especially when on sale. Everything you'd want in a smart plug.

They're more expensive than generic no-name brands, but the extra safety that comes with ETL testing is worth it.

wizzard: I purchased a 4-pack of the slim Sengled Smart Plugs (as compared to the bigger block one) as I started building out a new Home Assistant Zigbee automation system. So far I’ve been happy with how they’ve worked in basic functions. I also put them under some load and have had mixed results.

First, I want to speak to customer service. I had one plug that would not measure immediate or summation power load. Because only one of four plugs were affected, I didn’t want to remove and return all four for a refund/exchange. I reached out to Sengled via the Amazon partner messaging and they both responded and resolved the issue quickly.

I have initially placed the plugs just trying to get used to the capabilities as well as for their power monitoring features. So far they have paired easily with my Zigbee coordinator and Home Assistant, and the plugs seem to have a decent set of attributes.

I even placed the plugs an (older) refrigerator and (newer) freezer in the garage. While the plug for the freezer has been running and measuring power without issue, the one (in fact, two I tried) on the refrigerator did have issues eventually. While initially they ran just...

Gunnar Radeloff: They work very well with Home assistant, immediately showed up and had no hiccups so far. The only issue I had and it's a biggie: the housing randomly fell off exposing the AC powered prongs to touch, it could have caused all kinds of catastrophes... So 0 stars for safety, 5 stars for the rest.

Ari: I previously Bought a zigbee socket that burnt out on me because it was attached to a desk heater that drew too much power (even though it was rated for that voltage).

So with this one I was super skeptical. But it actually works really well! Easy to connect to HA and it’s built very sturdy. Handles high voltage well and I can actually fit something in the other socket!

CC: These are some of the best smart plugs I've used. They are an amazing value for the money with the energy monitoring included and a 15A rating. Other plugs offering a similar feature set often cost much more.

You can fit two of these in a wall socket unlike some smart plugs which block the second outlet due to their size/shape.

They connected to Smartthings right away, no messing around. Able to turn them on and off with Google Home & Alexa. I don't use the Sengled app so I can't speak to how well it does or does not work.

I use them mainly to monitor and reduce the amount of phantom energy being consumed in the house by electronics that are plugged in but not being used.

Would definitely recommend them as a cost effective and very useful addition to any smart home set-up!!
