Mercator Ikuu | Smart Double Power Point 10A 250V Zigbee | Weatherproof IP54 Grey
The Mercator Ikuu SPP02GIP is a smart weatherproof double power point rated 250V 10A with IP54 protection, designed for outdoor use with individual socket control via Zigbee 3.0 mesh technology. The SPP02GIP requires a Zigbee hub (SGW002 or SGW003) for remote app and voice control, and includes real-time energy monitoring and customisable automation via the Mercator Ikuü app. It is backed by a 3-year in-home warranty and complies with AS/NZS 3100, AS/NZS 3112, AS/NZS 4268, and AS/NZS 60669.1 standards.
Home automation installers and renovators managing outdoor electrical systems often struggle to monitor and control weatherproof outlets reliably from a distance. The SPP02GIP solves this with individual socket control, real-time power usage monitoring, and the ability to extend Zigbee network coverage outdoors, reducing the need for multiple hubs or relay devices. The IP54 rating and UV-resistant polycarbonate housing withstand prolonged sun and water splash exposure, making the SPP02GIP a durable outdoor alternative to traditional double outlets.
Smart home integrators value the SPP02GIP for its seamless Home Assistant compatibility through Zigbee 3.0 and its dual role as both a switchable outlet and a mesh network extender. The individual socket control lets automation sequences toggle pool lights, outdoor heaters, or garden irrigation independently from a single physical unit. Installation requires a standard mounting bracket and a minimum 41mm block depth, and is simpler than running separate wiring for multiple outdoor circuits.
Features
- Zigbee 3.0 mesh compatible — connects to Mercator Ikuü hub for remote control, works with Home Assistant (ZHA), Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant for seamless smart home integration.
- Dual socket control — each outlet can be switched on/off independently via touch buttons, app, or voice, enabling separate automation for different appliances or zones.
- Energy monitoring per socket — real-time power usage and historical data viewable in the Mercator Ikuü app, supporting load analysis and consumption-based automation.
- Weatherproof IP54 rating — suitable for outdoor wall installations, garden areas, and covered patios; UV-resistant grey polycarbonate housing resists yellowing and fading over years of sun exposure.
- Mesh network extension — the SPP02GIP acts as a Zigbee router, extending coverage to outdoor devices and improving signal reliability for remote sensors, lights, and switches.
- Customisable automation — schedule timers, create scenes, and group products via the Ikuü app; supports time-based, power-threshold, or trigger-based actions.
- LED status indicators — blue LEDs on each outlet illuminate to show on/off state; brightness is low enough not to disturb dark outdoor areas or bedrooms nearby.
- 10A 250V circuit rating — suitable for outdoor lighting, fan systems, heaters, and general-purpose appliances on a dedicated 10A MCB or RCD-protected circuit.
- Brass contacts and combination-head screws — corrosion-resistant terminals and durable fasteners rated for outdoor weather cycles and frequent use.
- Complete assembly supplied — includes standard mounting box, fixing screws, and screw caps; no additional parts required for installation.
- 3-year in-home warranty — Mercator covers manufacturing defects and provides in-home servicing; requires a copy of the certificate of compliance from the installing electrician for claims.
- Electrician installation mandatory — the SPP02GIP must be installed by a licensed electrician in compliance with AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules and AS/NZS 3112 outlet standards.
Where to use
- Pool and garden areas — the SPP02GIP is rated for outdoor installations with water splash exposure; control outdoor lights, filtration pumps, and heating systems individually via the app or voice commands.
- Covered patios and alfresco spaces — provides smart control for outdoor entertaining areas, allowing guests to control lighting and fan speeds without entering the house.
- Workshop and garage power — exterior workshop outlets can be monitored and controlled for power tools, work lights, and safety isolation if an appliance draws unusual current.
- Outdoor holiday accommodation — guest properties benefit from remote outlet control and power monitoring, reducing on-site calls and enabling time-based access restrictions.
- Smart home automation hubs and extenders — where outdoor Zigbee coverage is weak, installing the SPP02GIP as a mesh relay extends network range to backyard sensors, outdoor cameras, and garden lighting.
- Renovation and new-build outdoor wiring — the SPP02GIP suits modern homes with integrated smart automation; its dual-socket design reduces the number of outlets needed and simplifies circuit planning.
The Mercator Ikuu SPP02GIP is not suitable for submerged or fully submersible installations, swimming pools with constant water immersion, or indoor flush-mount applications. Do not install in areas with sustained corrosive atmospheric conditions (salt spray, industrial chemical exposure) beyond the scope of typical outdoor residential use. For constant high-load circuits (sustained 2500W), consider a dedicated GPO rather than shared dual-socket control.
