USEE Zigbee PowerStrip SM-301U-PA20

Trying to find out if this device works with ST in the USA. Online it indicates via comments it works with @Mariano_Colmenarejo drivers, but the devices I got looks a bit different, so not sure. I was able to link


it the first time. But nothing works, So I deleted it and tried again. The second try, I was unable to get it to join, so can’t get the fingerprint. I think it is UseLink/Tuya. Any ideas? I’m attaching the model number. Note the typos, as I think it is for the USA market, even though it says 50 HZ on one section (and 60 HZ in another).

I can’t find anything.

If it doesn’t pair with zigbee thing Mc then it won’t pair with another controller either.

After multiple tries, today it went into pairing mode and paired correctly. For others, it is a TS011F and the on/off functions seems to work fine. Hopefully the other one works too. Thanks

@Mariano_Colmenarejo Thanks for your efforts to develop/extend all of these drivers that neither ST nor the OEMs have not developed. One request: In the zigbee Multiswitch and child mc driver, is it possible to make the Switch child names user editable? That would make it much easier to track what is plugged into them. Thanks

Hi @homeagain

You can edit the name of the created child devices same that of any device, in the device’s edit menu

I kept them together as one device, and I can’t edit them in that mode. Do I need to create separate child devices to edit them?

Smartthings does not allow editing the names of the components, which are in the profile.
This may or may not change in the future, who knows!

Hi everyone. I just bought one of these power strips and was able to get it set up in Smartthings but i can only control the main power on and off which turns all devices plugged into it on or off.

I saw the references to child devices which I assume are the individual outlets and USB ports. Can someone point me to an easy to understand how To so I can get Smartthings control of each outlet on the strip?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

You should see multiple switches below the main switch, If not, you might also try removing and re pairing it. It took several times to work when I first added it.

Already removed and re paired 3 times but I’ll do it some more. I’ll report back afterwards. Thanks for the quick reply!

Did you install Mariano’s Zigbee Multi Switch and Child Mc driver?

I have not. I must have missed that portion of the conversation as this is the first I have heard of it.

Does this get done before one reinstalls the device in Smartthings?

Some drivers you can install and then switch over to them. Mariano suggests installing his driver and uninstall and re-install your device so that all parts of the lifecycle are executed. The link to his channel is in the topic I linked.

Damn, I am not real comfortable editing code. If this was a simple download and scripted install executable of the driver and reinstall of the device I would be all in but this is more than I want to tackle. Especially on an Android touch screen. If this was on a desktop with a mouse, physical keyboard and monitor, I might try it but not on a touch screen with a screen keyboard.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions but this is a tall order for this old guy. Guess I’ll either live with the single point on on/off control or look for a different piece of hardware that just works with Smartthings without all the tinkering.

Installing a driver is simply a point and click activity. Click on the link to the channel, accept the invite, enroll your hub, select the driver to install to your hub.

Sorry I am being so dense. Would you spell out the link to the channel in question and maybe elaborate a bit on selecting the driver to click on.

I do appreciate everyone’s trying to help but I keep clicking in circles within this topic conversation looking for the things mentioned. As much as a lot of the population hates Microsoft Windows, they make it easy for idiots like me to follow along. A nice scripted MSI file link and I’d be done.

Here is the link to the channel. Accept the invite. Enroll your hub. Scroll down and find the Zigbee Multi Switch and Child Mc driver and install.

That works! Thanks so much!
Point and click as it should be!
