UK controlable power strip

[Ludders]

I am just exploring the possibilities of the #reefpi and want to start by being able to control my fuge light and UV.
Looking for recommendations of an equivalent controllable power strip for UK plugs.

Check out RoboTank I think he makes different versions for plug types

Thanks for the plug @Weasel1960. I do have a 6 outlet power bar that UK plugs will fit and you can also use the wifi Kasa HS103, HS110 or HS300, I believe there's a UK version for one of those models.

This was the closest thing I could find...

When I go to install though, there is only the drivers for the HS models you listed.

Do I need to install the specific drivers for whatever wifi enabled power strip I end up going with?

They do require a specific driver, reef-pi covers 3 for sure, I don't know if the KP303 works though.

I notice this supports the HS300 and the KP303...

I'm going to get one and give it a try and also look in the python-kasa source code when I get chance.

+1 for the TPLink HS300...

What do you mean? The HS300 drivers work with the KP303?

What is your question? I was merely recommending the TPLink HS300 power strip for Reef-Pi (or in general). I believe there is a driver developed to support it on Reef-Pi already.

I couldn't find the HS300, where can I get one from?

Just confirmed the HS300 driver does work with the KP303, so if anyone else in the UK wants to set this up this way, the KP303 is compatible.

Good to hear, thanks for sharing.
