The specifications are same as the 3680W version of the BW-SHP6

The differences between the BW-SHP2 are: support for the French/Belgian grounded sockets  (Type E) which have a grounding pin sticking out of the wall sockets and has a significant smaller size.


The BlitzWolf smart socket BW-SHP10 is almost the same as the BW-SHP6 it only has a slightly different housing and supports 16 Amps in stead of 10 Amps. It is only specified at 220 though 240 Volts at 50 or 60 Hertz. On the device is a button where you can turn the socket on and off manually and there is a status light to see if it is switched on or not.
It supports power metering and has overcurrent protection.

You can connected to it through the Smart Life app. Here you can turn it off and on, set a schedule for on/off, or set a countdown to power off. In the "electric" tab you can see the current (A), power (W) and Voltage (V) it is delivering at the moment and historical. The app can send you a notification if the device plugged into it draws too much current and that it will switch off.

Smart home integration

You can connect this to Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT.
To add this you have to link your Tuya, or Smart Life account.

Custom firmware

There is no official page for Tasmota yet, but it looks like you can use the BW-SHP6 profile with adjusted power settings.

Conclusion

I am a fan of these smart sockets, it enables you to switch off devices which was not possible before. For example, I always forget to switch of certain devices when I am going away for a few days. Now I can turn of my tap water heater after I left the house or let some automation do it for me. I like this one for it's size, and power rating.

Alternative implementations for a door sensor - doorbell indicator

Product used : Xiaomi Mijia Smart Door & Window Sensor, but any door sensor will do I wanted to know when some one rings my doorbell to notify me when I cannot hear the doorbell, when I am in the garden for example. In combination with a webcam I can see who is at the door when I am not at home. I know that there are products on the market that can fix this, most of them are not visual appealing, are expensive, and/or requires you to pay a monthly subscription. I think my doorbell looks fine, so I do not want to change this, and to be honest: it is more fun to make something yourself!

Magnetic coils can also activate reed switches because they are magnetic, so let's try that! I taped a door sensor next to one of the two magnet coils to see if it will work. After some moving the sensor around and ringing the doorbell I found the best spot. I marked it and glued it to
