Comment on Got myself some energy monitoring Zigbee plugs and made an interesting discovery

The plugs are rated for 1800W each. Should be fine. I hit 670W a bit earlier, running Furmark VK and Cinebench R23 multi-core simultaneously for shits and giggles.

Oh nice. Do you have a link to the plugs you chose? I got some 20amp ZigBees from Aliexpress for $3 each, work great, but I wouldn’t trust them to handle their rating.

    Hah, Wyze use the same shell for their WiFi model: a.co/d/3kSQaoF
    
    I think these are all based off these ZigBee models at $4 a pop: alibaba.com/…/US-Smart-Home-Tuya-Alexa-Voice_1601…
