Wired wall socket with USB connectors

Does anyone know of a uk wired wall socket (inc. usb connectors if possible) that can work with ST hub?

I’m not sure why, it may be a safety regulation with regard to DIY work, but there literally are not any devices of this form factor on the certified zwave list for the EU region. Just plug-in pocket sockets and in wall relays.

There are definitely lightwave RF versions which you could consider (although I don’t think any have a USB socket). Adam Clark has done a SmartThings/lightwave RF integration, but it does require some significant technical skills to get it set up. And you do have to set up your own server on raspberry pi. So it’s not simple, but it can be done

Rather than just looking at the code in GitHub for an integration, I always recommend that you start with the author’s thread in the SmartThings forum. That way you can see some of the discussion about it and ask any questions you might have.

[OBSOLETE] Lightwave RF Integration (UK)

I was getting a bit annoyed that I had a load of lightwaveRF kit lying around and had nothing to do with it since buying smartthings (which has an awesome app). The app for lightwave RF was rubbish, but there are no comparable z-wave sockets or switches. So had a quick look at the lightwave online interface over a couple of beers and realised I could write an intergration for smartthings (after following the nest instructions over the weekend). Here is a quick demo video - Smartthings lightwaverf integration - YouTube, would this be useful to anyone? The video cuts off at the end as realised I put some sensitive info in there and was too tired to fix it.
