    Plug hardware failures - Model PG04

    in Plugs

    Reference to my prior post here

    https://www.athom.tech/forum/esphome-related-1/athom-uk-plug-failures


    I have had another failure today. There seems to be a quality issue with these plugs, they are failing at an alarming rate!

    It took me a while to get round to configuring the replacement plug, sadly this one failed after 28hrs of use. It only had a few computer screens and a laptop charger attached, so it was a very low load. Have contacted Athom again to see what comes next.

    I'd be requesting a v2 plug this time if a replacement is offered. Tom has issues with switch location, I've not had this, and so far so good. Only been a few month of use though.

    My V2 plugs arrived today and I'm afraid these devices block the use of the wall socket switch.

    I've had two of these fail in a week. I'm very disappointed as I only purchased these recently. In both instances the connected device was powered off at the time.

    Got a replacement from athom in the end, was a little sad to see that it was another V1 plug, will see how long this one lasts.

    Washing machine is killing mine (2 so far), higher current + inductive load suspected.

    The other athom that's driving the condenser dryer is still going fine through all this (though it is buzzing, presumably coil whine). I have a Shelly Plus 1PM preparing to install with ESPHome and the additional snubber (10uF 1/2W 600V capacitor, advice to use it is buried in the install guide).

    Ordered one to experiment with in Feb, can't recall when it arrived but I'd guess Mid March, was powering three GU10 smart bulbs so very little load, it hadn't yet made it past testing, was going to install behind a washing machine and was keen to see how good these are before I put it beyond easy reach. To be honest I forgot about and it's been plugged in but with standby load for the smart bulbs only. Had decided to use to monitor some power but after moving it was unresponsive with high pitch electrical noise. bought from AliExpress, getting a response from the 'Athom global store' is proving slow.

    I got a email to say their V2 plugs have been released... wonder if it still has the same issue?

    Its also interesting to see that they have all gone at the fuse. such heat like that could come from the fuse holder being loose on the fuse. I'm going to inspect one of mine tonight and see how well held in the fuse is.

    what did you have running on those? In fairness I've had about a dozen of these over the last 18 months and not one has failed yet. I run an electric fire off one which is perhaps the biggest drain. Interested to know whats caused the melting of the fuse.

    Utter junk! The 2 I've bought have now died. No way are they suitable for 16A. The 13A fuse in the appliance would have gone if it had pulled anywhere near that.

    My advice is don't buy/use this tat if you value the life of your loved ones or property.

    Just checked an i did buy direct from athom. And to correct myself, 5 out of 7 plugs have failed since October. That is pretty bad quality control. At least they didn't cause a fire.... Yet.

    I just had another fail on me today. I need to check, as someone earlier posted an athom plug with athon branding. The plugs that failed for me do not have that..... Trying to recall if I ordered direct from the athom site or AliExpress athom store now.

    One out of 2 has just burnt out on me after 4 months, was connected to a washing machine drawing peak 6A (according to metrics logged from the device when calibrated).

    Happy to send back to Athom for failure analysis.

    @rgarrett93 That's scary that they're burning out like that!


    Wondering if mine are genuine athom PG04s? I bought 4 just before Christmas and they look like the photo below: -



    The reason I've ended up here is that two of my PG04s that measure the power to my AV stuff in the lounge decided to turn themselves off last night. One switched back on but the other just has the flashing LED so I assume it has lost its config?

    I've just had two fail on me and they're less than 6 months old, I would avoid them as they're a fire hazard.

    I ordered I'm October 2021, so failed pretty quick. I have others that are fine though.


    Two that failed were both connected to TV which were sucking about 500w, while the other one that failed was connected to my Unifi PoE switch. Maybe they can't handle higher power devices particularly well. Not sure.

    How Long have you had the plugs running? Mine have been running about 5 months now with no failures yet.
