I have been playing around with TapHome trying to integrate Zigbee devices to it. With this I am learning how the packet parser integration works, and I am likeing it so far. Interesting concept and surprisingly easy to work with.

This EU style socket in from BSEED. works on Zigbee, designed for Tuya but works just fine in my Zigbee2MQTT as well. unfortunately not with Sonoff. it has It has all the basics I expect from a switch and the metering function is also works. Tuya app offers many different timer and schedule options as well. Great all-around product.

Exceptionally fine day for the first public running of the year and I was happen to be in London to see and film this video. Very nice live steam action with the locos known to Roxbourne Park with the addition of Class 67 diesel engine which was new to me.

I have done a video on setting up auto-off in eWeLink a long time ago. Time has passed and new features came along where this feature can be set up more easily and works more reliably.
Therefore it is time to re-visit this topic.
