J to the D Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Hi, Is there a smart plug suitable for the UK which also works with Control4? I have seen the Hue version and I already have hue lamps and bridge so is that the best option? I know that ideally it is to be used for lights which one will be (Christmas tree lights) but the other will be for a fan. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the Hue versions not work very well with C4? What is the Kasa integration like with C4? I did see Wemo but it looks like Belkin is discontinuing the products in the UK.

Any ideas on what is the difference between the Tapo P100 and the KP105? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I'm not familiar with the tapo as that isn't offered in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredsoneya Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 The Hue outlet works very well in the UK with Control4. I have moved from Kasa to Hue outlet as driver is free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the hue single bulb on/off driver, as the bridge sees the hue plug as a light. We have all our Christmas lights on them right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have all our Christmas lights on them right now I have ordered a hue plug to test on the Christmas lights. Any ideas if you can use it for a fan. I presume you have to just play around with the programming and make it look like a light but being used for something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light to relay driver - bind really from fan to driver. or use the extractor fan UI button you can bind that to any v2 proxy light load Thanks Muj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
