Greenwave Powernode 6 (or Z-wave alternative with 6 sockets) wanted!

Hi all, does someone have an idea where I still can buy a Greenwave Powernode 6 or an alternative that works with Homey? I want to make a powerstation for my laptops, iPads and phones that automatically switches of when the individual devices are fully loaded. I would like to see the powerusage through Homey as well! Any ideas?

    you can use a normal swithboard/pdu and put the cheap neo plugs in them.
    Should work much better then the every hanging powernode 6.
    And you can make it as big as u want. i just created a powernode 9 with neos  :D

    Bummer, just sold a 6 port on Marktplaats.
  • AppieAppie Member
    @Eternity, nummer indeed! Why did you sell it? How was the quality, was it stable?

    @mruiter, only Neo plugs I could find were more than 40 Euro a piece. Which plugs do you mean? Or do you now have a charging station of 9*40 euros??

    @Appie ;
    I bought 3 single and 2 6 port Greenwaves a while ago. The 6 port I sold, was not used anymore so I decided to sell it. I bumped into someone on Marktplaats who was looking for one and I sold it to him.

    As for stability... yes and no...

    With my previous Aetoec z-wave stick it worked flawlessly. With Homey it has been oke, but currently I am experiencing a lot of connection losses.... I feel that this is not caused by the Greenwave hardware, but the Homey + Greenwave App and the z-wave implementation of Homey.

    Thanks @Eternity! I will continue on my quest for a smart power node. So if anyone has an idea, I would appreciate!

    Robb shop announced a new 6 socket power node with USB sockets. Not on their site, but via a email newsletter. I will try to find the picture that came with it, later today.

    Yes, I agree. I wonder if the USB sockets can be controlled too. If not, it's a 5 socket Greenwave... 

    PS
    That thick things looks like a UK socket adaptor and it should come out.
