I bought this to connect a BM2 12v battery monitor on my car to my Home Assistant setup. It was a bit tricky to get the Theengs plug to recognize my WiFi; for some reason it took several tries for it to work. Once working, though, the sensors for my BM2 showed up automagically within seconds, and it has been rock solid for over the two weeks since then.
The only drawback I see is that the voltage sensor from the BM2 always says "Unknown", so I don't think the BLE data is being parsed correctly. The battery percentage works fine though, and that has been good enough.
The plug electricity usage monitoring has been an added bonus that I didn't think I'd use, but has turned out to be pretty handy.
I needed a smart plug to add to Home Assistant, and I also wanted to extend my Home Assistant’s Bluetooth range. This does both very well. Has every function you’d expect from a smart plug, and Bluetooth devices get added to MQTT easily. Integration and adding this to home assistant was quick and easy. Highly recommended.
Used plug to monitor sharp dips in voltage when running on generators during a power cut. Added a switch to disable the economy setting all integrated into Home Assistant. Worked with a developer who tested my scenario and gave me a custom file. Thank you!!
I received two Smart Plugs with the intention of using MQTT to trigger them on or off (no added functions needed or tested). The product works great! The only issue was MY understanding of the Broker Setup, but Florian was WONDERFUL in walking me through steps (till I eventually found my own dumb typo) and now they work perfectly! Will be buying more for future projects!
I have two smart plugs working away in my greenhouse automation. Great product with Home Assistant.
