Plugwise circle

I have already search the forum but couldn’t found a satisfied answer. Does the Plugwise Circle work with homey? I wane used it to check if my washing machine is ready. The machine is placed on de second floor so ZigBee will be a better choice than z-wave right?

    Not directly (as in Homey's zigbee)  but there's different apps:

    Thx! I see that I also need a plugwise server to connect. I thought the circle could directly communicate with homey. Or is that nog working?

    Not yet. Implementing direct Zigbee devices has been postponed since there aren't that many devices. So most devices are implemented via a bridge. 

    You can can use the Fibaro Wall Plug for it. I've two for the washin machine and dryer located in the attic. They are quite expensive though...

    thx MrDutchfighter. Is the range of the Fibaro Wall Plug good enough? My Homey is in de living room and my washing machine on the second floor.

    Works in my house, same situation (house from the 70s). But no guarantees of course, every house is different.
