Zooz ZEN04 Smart Plug

Bottom line

Worth considering

Zooz lists separate limits for different load types and excludes washers, dryers, and refrigerators. Do not treat the resistive rating as permission to connect any appliance, splitter, or power strip.

Best for

switch a compatible lamp; measure energy use of a permitted small load

Keep in mind

The local-first grade is not a promise of hardware lifespan; review the evidence below.

Local-first gradeClears every deal-breaker — based on local control, open integration, and cloud requirements.
A
No Cloud NeededThe described local functions do not need a vendor cloud service during normal operation. Controller, setup, and update requirements still apply.
+Local ControlA documented local path is available for supported functions. Setup, remote access, and other features may still need an account or internet connection.
+Open APIA documented interface or standard provides an integration path. Check the listing for supported functions, access requirements, and controller compatibility.

Researched from manufacturer documentation and published integration guides. A grade describes local control, open integration, and cloud dependence; it is not a guarantee of lifespan. How we evaluate
