Aqara T2 Relay trigger when circuit get power

Hi all,
I’m trying to figure out the right way to connect and use the Aqara T2 relay for an automation scenario.
What I want to achieve:

  • The T2 relay will always have power from Socket Schuko A (this is just its power supply).
  • The actual trigger should come from Socket Schuko B: whenever Socket B gets power, I want the T2 relay to close/open the circuit.

-I don’t want to actually switch ON equipment with the relay.
My goal is just to use the relay’s state as an event/automation trigger inside the Aqara ecosystem (basically: “when Socket B is powered, mark relay as ON”).

What I tried so far and didn’t work, reason using the relay now.

  • I tested with an Aqara smart plug to detect when was consuming power, but the detection was too slow for what I need.

What I think it could work but not sure:

  • Relay powered from Socket A (always on).
  • Socket B (monitored load) connects phase/live to L1 and neutral directly to the same neutral as socket A (outside relay).
  • No jumper between LIN–LOUT (not needed??).
  • Wet mode selected in Aqara app.

Will this work? Any suggestions?

TIA

Hello, I unsubscribed here. Your circuit will not work with the T2 relay as you want. The relay does not control the presence of voltage, only the current consumption. Rele T2, let's talk about it again - #15 by gafich10

You can wait for the Shelly Gen 4 energy monitor (with matter support) to be available. It should be out soon.
