Is 16A Smart Energy Plug Compatible with Apple HomeKit (via Homebridge/Z2M)?
This installation carries line voltage capable of causing severe electric shock, injury, or fire. Disconnect power at the breaker before wiring, verify with a non-contact voltage tester, and consult a qualified electrician if you are not confident working with mains circuits. Do not rely on this page as your only reference — confirm terminal assignments against the manufacturer's own documentation.
Electrical Specifications
Always confirm pin assignments against the manufacturer datasheet before wiring.
Compatibility Overview
The Tuya 16A Smart Energy Plug requires a bridge (Zigbee2MQTT with Homebridge or Home Assistant HomeKit integration) to pair with Apple Home. Once bridged Siri controls on/off state and energy monitoring.

Terminal assignments for this device
Terminal diagram not shown.
This device carries mains voltage, and its terminal markings vary by model and revision. Publishing a generic AC terminal diagram here would risk you wiring live conductors from a drawing that does not match the part in your hand — so we do not print one. Use the manufacturer's own installation sheet for terminal identification.
