    This is a handy device when flashing tasmota without soldering. You can hold down gpio 0 and the power wires in place and ask your smsrt spesker to turn your ftdi adapter on

      That's really good use case! Thanks for the idea!

    YES FINALLY.
    Have been looking for this for a few years now.
    people with a wall-panel will love this. since it helps those with shallow socket-boxes, make their dashboard/wallpanel more smart

    great vid, really liked how you analysed the use cases.

    Useful for me - I have a cheap eBay-sourced desk fan with a manual rocker switch, so it will come on when power is applied if the switch is in the correct state. I suspect the cheaper the gadget, the less likely it is to have a software switch, and the more useful this might be.

    On those humidifiers, just add a Switchbot and you can turn it on and off :)
    I initilly struggled finding a use case for these Micro USB Adaptor, but now I am thinking for charging control, for small USB devices and the like it could be quite handy and cheaper than purchasing smart sockets for all of those sort of devices. Also could be useful for devices that run off external battery packs.

    I have a few of these, but it's the WiFi version. and all I did was add to the HA Sonoff Integration.. Good for on/off's

    A traditional zigbee plug switch does already cut off internal cameras when I am home and is obviously a zigbee router... I don't really see the purpose for this device but some could so...

      Just what I was thinking. It would be useful in multi-charging devices, but it just don't fit...

    • @BeardedTinker
      @BeardedTinker  Pƙed 23 dny +1

      Yes, was really struggling to see purpose. Dumb LED Aquarium or similar light, maybe. I only have one possible case for it - if anyone is using Elgato Mini light that's battery powered. To turn on recharging when battery is let's say 20% and disconnect when 100%.

    • @BeardedTinker
      @BeardedTinker  Pƙed 23 dny +1

      Yeah, It covered for me 2 USB C ports on multicharger + one where is was plugged...

      One advantage of this device is that it draws less power than bigger zigbee power plugs that have larger relays (they can switch much more than just 36w)

      You know what is cool. A zigbee device that can turn on and off a POE for cameras. So I can physically cut off a camera if I don’t want it to record.
