Switchable sockets

[Gast]

Hi,

I need a switchable socket to connect some LED power lines which cannot be connected to the normal house lines. The Loxone solution is : https://shop.loxone.com/dede/smart-socket-air.html but it's quite expensive and I don't need energy monitoring, or any of the other fancy features. Is there an alternative that's easy to integrate with Loxone?

This is only one possibility using Wi-Fi sockets, but needs a LoxBerry or another Linux server:

These TP-Link sockets were included in an Amazon Echo bundle at Amazon.de some months ago. There is a good chance to get them also second-hand on Amazon or eBay.

if you want to create your own, you can use sonoff s20 sockets (around £10 each), but you will need to reprogram them using a usb to serial adapter and solder some header pins onto the boards - once you do that you reflash them with espeasy and use loxone virtual outputs to turn them on and off, without using another server.

Thanks Christian, I will be using those TP-Links with my loxberry.
