Hello @2SC_UK
Unfortunately, there is no exact date, but I think that during the IFA2025 exhibition or after it, more detailed information about the launch dates of new products, including those that interest you, will be available. Stay with us and follow the news here on the forum and official social networks of aqara. There is still a lot of interesting things ahead.

Iām really excited for these outlets.
But also, did I see that they arenāt currently planning a multi-plug extension lead for the UK as Iād really love to buy a few 4 or 6 gang plugs?

I read the press release about these but couldnāt find them on the website. This explains why. Iām looking forward to swapping out a few old plug sockets with these. 
Hey @Raman.V any update? Got my kitchen being fully refitted in 2 weeks and hoping to have Aqara switches installed but still no update? Looks like Iāll have to go for smart plugs from another supplier

Ā£70 each
What an absolute joke
I got my hands on a 3-pack and using a discount code I managed to bag them for just under Ā£54 each. I know thay are not cheap but I really want to see how they perform against the best the UK can provideā¦ Liā¦Wā¦rf 
I have two rooms in my home still using dumb sockets, I will use these to compare performance but Iāve had my existing smart socket and switches for well over 5 years now and they are amazingā¦ but more expensive!
they are taking the piss with this, do they not understand these are not something you just buy one or two of. If Iām swapping my sockets Iām changing a large amount and at this price its just not viable.

Absolutely agree Ā£70 is an absolute joke, I have another smart socket from bg about 6years old and it was nowhere near this price though it didnāt monitor power usage
I was going to buy 7 until I saw the price. Ā£70 each!
Ā£700 
You can save a bit if you buy a bundle with 3 double USB-C sockets at a discount. Itās not a lot but you will save a few quid.
Just out of interest, What price point were you expecting?

Normal smart sockets tend to be Ā£20-30 so maybe Ā£40 for something a bit smarter?
Seems like itās been over-engineered with having 2 high powered USB-C ports. I see a single USB-C port version will be coming soon (not released yet) but a standard non-USB port option would be great when USB no needed. Maybe the ābulkā pricing method of a single option could have kept the price lower?
The single USB version is on Amazon for Ā£68.
My existing 2 gang sockets donāt have USB and they are Ā£80 each. At the time they were the only real option for HomeKit compatibility in the UK. They are top quality so you get what you pay for.
Iām happy to get these for just under Ā£54 each. If they are going for quality then itās a not bad price.
I put these in the basket when Ā£54 each and the next day the discount was gone. Given some of the reviews and the Ā£69 price tag, I think I will hold fire until the firmware is more mature/reviews appear more positive. Shame the code wasnāt valid a little longer, Iāve been waiting a while for these and would have bought a number of them
