I would like to make my laundry machine a bit more smart. So notifications can be pushed when the laundry is done (= energy draw stops). For this I am looking for a smart plug that can measure power. Since the laundry machine outlet (EU socket) is close to a sink, I would like to use an outdoor rated plug. I found WiFi plugs fitting the bill, but the whole house is covered with Zigbee, so I would like to stick to the Zigbee mesh.

Anyone know of a device that fits these requirements?

Requirements

  • Protocol: Zigbee
  • Load: >10A
  • Rating: Outdoor (IP44 or more) because of use in the bathroom close to sink
  • Feature: Energy measurement
  • Socket: EU

​

What have I found

Nous - A4Z ZigBee Outdoor Smart Socket A4Z ZigBee Outdoor Smart Socket
Perfect fit! However, cannot be ordered anywhere.

The not available for sale A4Z?

Ledvance- SMART+ COMPACT OUTDOOR PLUG
Almost OK, but does not have energy metering

    What about using a Shelly relay with power monitoring, and installing it inside the outlet?

    I have a few Shelly 1PM Pluses that I do this with, but Shelly is starting to make ZigBee and ZWave devices too. I haven’t looked to see if they have a ZigBee one with power monitoring, but I’d bet they do.

    Another option is something like using an Emporia Vue 2 or a system from Circuit Setup to monitor power from your breaker panel. Both can be flashed with ESPHome and record directly to HA. Not sure how well they work in the EU, but I’m planning on getting an Emporia Vue 2 here in the US.
