Anyone know of a power monitoring smart plug that can trigger routines? (2023)

So I figured out how to get my Kasa KP-115’s to use the edge driver and report power. It is a bit convoluted so bear with me.

  • Using the Kasa app, connect the plugs to it.
  • Using the ST app, connect the Kasa app (New device->By Brand->TP-Link/Kasa)
  • You should now be able to see the Kasa devices in ST and control them. They won’t report power and use the cloud-to-cloud integration
  • Install @BarryA 's edge driver (SmartThings Channel and Drivers)
  • Go back to new devices and do a scan
  • You should now see all the plugs again, this time with edge driver’s
  • Once you add them, the devices will be duplicated.
  • You can remove the Kasa integration, the duplicates will be removed, and the devices should stay connected with the edge drivers

One more candidate:

@mlchelp has verified that the Shelly smart plug plus can do this. It’s a Wi-Fi plug, and you do not need to have a Smartthings/Aeotec hub to use it, power monitoring is reported through the official cloud to cloud integration. And you can use the power level as the “if“ in a smartthings routine. So I just mention it in case someone who doesn’t have a hub was interested because of the topic title. :sunglasses:
