NOUS A5T smart Wi-Fi power strip (3-gang + 3 USB-A), Tasmota

The Nous A5T is a Wi-Fi-based multi-socket smart power strip that comes with factory preinstalled Tasmota firmware. It features three individually controllable outlets and three USB charging ports, making it a great choice for both home and office use.

Its main advantage is that it allows for cloud-free operation, offering higher data privacy. Thanks to the open-source Tasmota GPL firmware, the device can be controlled locally (e.g. via MQTT or Web UI) and integrates with platforms like Home Assistant, Google Home, or Alexa.

The built-in energy monitoring function lets you track your power consumption in real time or review past usage, helping you optimize your energy use efficiently. It also includes overload, overvoltage, short-circuit, and overheating protection. The device can handle up to 15 A (max. 3450 W) of load reliably and is built using fire-resistant materials.
