Tax included.


**【Standard DIN Rail Mounting】**Compatible with standard DIN rails for quick installation inside electrical distribution boxes without extra drilling or modifications, ideal for centralized electrical management in buildings, factories, and industrial environments.
**【Real-Time Energy Monitoring】**Track voltage, current, power, and energy consumption in real time. Supports electricity cost calculation, historical data storage/export, and helps optimize energy usage while reducing bills.
**【32A High-Power Load Support】**Designed for high-power circuits up to 32A, suitable for electric floor heating, EV charging stations, water heaters, and other heavy-duty electrical devices.
**【Overload Protection & Double-Pole Safety Switch】**Customizable voltage, current, and power thresholds. The device automatically cuts off output when limits are exceeded. The double-pole switching design disconnects both live and neutral wires, ensuring full physical isolation and improving electrical safety and device protection.
**【Matter Certified Compatibility】**Works seamlessly with major Matter ecosystems including Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings for smarter and more flexible automation.

Really interested in how well these work in typical German distribution cabinets. Most of these are metal all around.

Maybe it will be one big Thread network and maybe it won’t. Eero supports Thread 1.4 but doesn’t expose any way to unify their Thread network with another. We’ll see what Apple and Google do.

Let’s keep an eye on Alexa too; being able to join the ST Thread mesh with the one erected by the Echos in the house would be relevant for quite a few people.

Alexa doesn’t even share its credentials with the Android keychain. I don’t expect much from them.

2.Added support for the following SONOFF devices:

  • SONOFF SNZB-06P24 24GHz presence sensor.
  • SONOFF SNZB-03PR2 motion sensor with illuminance reporting.
  • SONOFF SWV-ZF2U / SWV-ZF2E dual-channel smart water valve.
  • SONOFF BASIC-ZB1GSP smart plug with energy monitoring.

3.Matter Bridge Camera Support:

  • Syncing eligible cameras to the added Matter platforms via Matter Bridge is now available, with video and audio streaming.

4.SONOFF TRVZB Enhancements:

  • SONOFF SNZB-02B can now be used as an external sensor for SONOFF TRVZB, providing more accurate room temperature readings.

Bug Fix:

  • Fixed an issue where the energy consumption graph failed to load for Zigbee plugs synced to CUBE via eWeLink Smart Home Add-on.
  • Fixed the issue where Cube backup file corruption caused startup failure and inability to add Zigbee devices.

iHost received an update today that started exporting cameras to SmartThings! So far it’s working great!

@Andreas_Roedl Since you’re quite familiar with cameras in SmartThings, were you able to enable recording and use of those cameras in automation when you tested them?

ONVIF and RSTP cameras are working!

Quite an open question. Depends on what the integration offers/exposes. If you are talking about Matter cameras: I’ve only tested the Aqara G350 and there’s not much more than streaming. They pinky-promised to release a firmware update later this year with more features.

I mainly wanted to know if SmartThings has anything similar to HomeKit in terms of saving videos, etc…

Because to open the camera meter I had to install a recording plugin, but I didn’t find anything different!

The question is more about whether it could take a snapshot or record based on a sensor outside the camera.

Yes, but only for supported cameras. I have several cameras and only my Aeotec Cam 360s are supported. Pretty sure that some Samsung devices (doorbells and such) are also supported.

I thought Samsung was going to make this available to all Camera Matters! It would be great to have this for those Camera Matters!
