Verified July 2026
A proper in-wall smart double socket with UK BS1363 faceplate, USB-C charging and energy monitoring — no ugly plug-in bricks. In Thread mode it joins Home Assistant over Matter with no Aqara hub needed; Zigbee mode adds per-socket energy stats via an Aqara hub.
In Home Assistant
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Socket 1 / Socket 2 | Toggle | Independent switching per outlet |
| Power | Sensor (W) | Per-socket in Zigbee+hub mode; combined-only reading in Matter/Thread mode |
| USB-C | Toggle | Switch the USB charging module |
Which pairing mode you choose is a real trade-off, not just a setup preference: Zigbee mode (via an Aqara hub) gives independent power metering per socket plus the USB-C module, while Matter/Thread mode collapses everything into one combined power reading for both sockets and USB together — hub-free, but with no per-socket breakdown. If per-socket data matters (e.g. an automation that fires when a specific appliance's cycle finishes by watching its power draw fall below a threshold), that only works on the Zigbee+hub path, not the hubless Matter route this product is otherwise sold on.
