Smart plug with power consumption monitoring on Alza is on sale again! It can run without the cloud and switches the live wire

If you’re building a smart home based on Zigbee and Home Assistant, this unassuming plug is exactly what you’re looking for. You can now get the EMOS GoSmart IP-3007F on Alza with an AlzaPlus+ membership for 399 CZK and acquire one of the few plugs in the Czech Republic that can switch the live wire and run completely locally without the cloud. Before purchasing, check the availability in detail on Alza.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you want a local Zigbee plug for Home Assistant that measures power consumption and also switches the live wire.
⚠️ Consider that it does not measure low power draws (roughly below 6 W) and as a Zigbee router, it has a weaker range than IKEA plugs.
💡 For 399 CZK, it’s one of the best choices among smart home enthusiasts.

Why this plug is a hit among enthusiasts

Most cheap smart plugs push users into their cloud and proprietary app. EMOS GoSmart IP-3007F takes the opposite approach — it’s a purely Zigbee device that you pair with your own coordinator (Home Assistant via ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT, but also Tesla or Tuya hub) and it runs completely locally without internet. For the smart home community, this is exactly the type of hardware they want: cheap, open, and reliable. And there’s a second, purely Czech reason for its popularity — more on that in a moment.

Key parameters explained in plain language

The reason enthusiasts seek it out: the plug switches the live wire, specifically the left (Czech) contact. In practice, this means that after being switched off, the connected appliance is truly disconnected from the live wire, not just the neutral — a crucial safety difference that few plugs in the Czech Republic can manage (users practically only mention EMOS and Immax). In addition, it measures real-time power consumption, grid voltage, and total consumed energy, so you can see in Home Assistant how much each appliance is drawing. It can handle a load of up to 3680 W / 16 A, so it can power a washing machine, dryer, or electric heater.

Among its practical features, you can set a timer, child lock (the button stops responding), behavior after power outage, and the brightness of the indicator LED in the app or HA. You’ll appreciate the latter — the LED glows quite brightly, but fortunately, it can be dimmed or completely turned off. The plug also functions as a Zigbee router (repeater), extending your network’s range. In Z2M, it reports as TS011F, should that help you during pairing.

What users say and what to watch out for

This is a plug bought by people who know what they want — and they are satisfied. Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 31 customers, recommended by 94%, low complaint rate (1.21%). Reviews are full of technical praise: seamless integration with Home Assistant via both ZHA and Z2M, reliable real-time power consumption measurement, also works with Tesla and Tuya hubs. One owner compares it to a cheap plug from Lidl that failed after six months — this one, according to him, “works great”.

Let’s be honest about the limitations that are repeated in reviews. The main one is that the plug does not measure low power draws — the lower limit is roughly 6 W, so it will monitor a washing machine or dryer, but it won’t detect a baby monitor or a small appliance in standby mode. Second point: as a Zigbee router, it has a weaker range than, for example, IKEA plugs, so for the network backbone, it’s better to rely on something else. And a final, purely practical note — it’s a Type E (Czech-French) plug, you cannot insert it into a German Type F socket.

When it doesn’t make sense

If you want a plug that works on its own without a hub and don’t want to deal with a Zigbee coordinator, opt for a Wi-Fi plug instead — this one won’t do anything without a gateway (Home Assistant, Zigbee dongle, etc.). Similarly, if you need to monitor very small appliances under 6 W, don’t rely on this for measurement. And for anyone building a Zigbee network and wanting a strong router to cover the entire house, be aware that this plug is not the best at repeating signals. However, for Home Assistant enthusiasts who want a local plug with live wire switching and power consumption measurement for a few hundred crowns, it’s an ideal purchase.

Are you building a smart home on local Zigbee with Home Assistant, or is a simple Wi-Fi plug with its own app enough for you?
