Hi,
I've recently received a couple of the AU no relay power monitoring plugs (PG05V2N-AU10A-ESP-1). I see a CE label on the plug but no RCM label, are these plugs AU/NZ SAA/RCM compliant?
It would be great if your able to add the symbol to show compliance:
FYI: https://www.eess.gov.au/rcm/regulatory-compliance-mark-rcm-general/
During reset ESP32 pins are set to their defaults, which happens to be low for pin 5, where the relay is connected to. If it was inverted, active low, then reboots for any reason (connection loss, ota updates) would not cut the power. This is very unfortunate, since I can only use it with UPS protected devices or where a short power loss does not matter much. You could argue that the current way is better, a turned off plug would turn on for a short time, and somebody would not want that, but how likely is that.
I completely know what you mean about the chaos spreadsheets can create when managing product information and digital assets. It definitely becomes unsustainable as your product lines expand, and you need to publish to multiple platforms. For modern e-commerce, outdated methods are a real bottleneck. I've been researching product information management (PIM) solutions, and based on what I've seen, they are designed to turn that chaos into a competitive advantage. These systems centralize all your product data, making it easier to manage and edit everything from descriptions to variants. There's a particular platform I found that specializes in this, which you can explore at https://piminto.com/. It highlights features like bulk changes, team collaboration, and automated publishing to various sales channels, which sounds like exactly what we need for efficiency and consistency. The key is finding a PIM that streamlines your workflow and ensures accurate data across all outputs, including Brand Portals and product catalogs.
Athom V2 us shutdown under heavy load (about 1100 watts) switch is rated 16 amp so suppose to handle 1800 watts.
This happened with Athom v1, so I decided to used the upgraded version V2
Seem more robust but as soon as the load reach around 1100 watt: the swith reboot (cutting the power to the load)
Removing the plug: the outlet can easily handle the load.
The load is a 120 volt 9000 btu Heat pump driven with autotransformer to 240v , the heat pump in heating mode is rated at 907 watts. (adding 30 watt idel autotransformer and 10% transformer lost) I run at about 1100 watt. That always the latest reading before shutdown. The Load run always about 1 minute at this level before shutdown!
My best regards
I had a similar issue with a smart switch rated for 15 amps that kept tripping at around 12 amps with a motor load. What I learned is that the rated amperage on these devices often assumes purely resistive loads like heaters or lights. Motors and heat pumps have a high inrush current when they start, and the switch might be detecting that momentary spike as a fault. Also, the autotransformer adds another layer of complexity because it changes the current draw characteristics. The switch might have a built-in protection circuit that is too sensitive for inductive loads. I solved my problem by using a contactor between the smart switch and the load, so the switch only handles the low current of the contactor coil. That way the heavy current passes through a device designed for motors. You could also try a different brand of switch known for handling inductive loads better. I had to document my setup and send the details to the manufacturer, and I ended up using an app to send a fax from your phone because they wanted a signed document. The V2 seems like an improvement, but 1100 watts might be right at the limit of what the internal relay can handle consistently. It's worth checking the datasheet for the specific relay model they used.
Hi All,
I purchased 2 of these some time back and just getting around to configuring them. One configured without any issues, but the other will not accept the WiFi credentials.
So, the AP is shown and I connect to it. I then get the Configuration page to enter the WiFi SSID and password. I enter them (same as the other one that worked), click on SAVE and I get a green box stating the device will connect to the network and it could take some time. It never connects, the plugs AP is always up as my device never drops connection. I have tried this for hours with different devices (phone, a few laptops, etc) connting to the AP, but always exhibits the same outcome as mentioned above. The Blue LED is always flashing at a consitent rate.
I have tried to reset the plug (power on/off 4 times) to se to factory,…
La semaine dernière, un ami m'a conseillé de ne pas regarder uniquement les résumés des matchs, mais aussi de m'intéresser au parcours des équipes. J'ai suivi son conseil et je suis tombé sur plusieurs histoires que je ne connaissais pas. En continuant mes recherches, j'ai trouvé cet article :
. Je pensais connaître les Black Stars, mais il y avait plein de détails que je n'avais jamais lus auparavant. Depuis, je regarde leurs matchs différemment. Est-ce que vous prenez parfois le temps de découvrir l'histoire d'une équipe avant une grande compétition ?
After ordering a couple of AU smart plugs from Athom myself and starting to test them in my home automation setup, I immediately ran into the RCM/SAA compliance question — without proper certification I didn’t want to risk safety on a 230V network. I had to record detailed test videos of relay operation, power monitoring and stability under load to understand the devices better and share with friends. That’s when I realized how crucial a convenient video editing tool is. I switched to https://www.movavi.com/ — it lets me quickly cut clips, add text, stabilize footage and export in the right format. Thanks to Movavi my smart device review videos became much higher quality, and the editing process turned from a chore into a pleasure. Now I confidently publish content and help the community with real hardware tests.
