Just wondering which plug people would suggest for the UK with power metering???
I have a situation where I want the plug to monitor power usage of my raspberry pi, if the power usage drops below 2 watts for example the plug senses this and turns the power off to the device.
I am hoping I can achieve this through CoRE something along the lines of if raspberry pi 3 usage is below 2watts then set raspberry pi 3 to off.
Best deal are the tkb power sockets in the UK. They are available as a 5 pack for 129 so roughly ÂŁ26 each. Nearly half the price of an official smartthings one.
Thanks but the ones with power monitoring are ÂŁ161 for a pack of 5 are they not? I am using a normal TKB switch but the ones with the meters in are quite a bit more just wondered if there was a better alternative
Yes you’re right. The ones I bought previously did have power metering but they were prior generation of zwave not plus. I assumed they were the same without looking properly.
Just bought the 10 pk of these and having trouble with them already.
The socket registered fine.
But turning on/off the device isn’t updated in the iPhone app (even Energenie did this one).
And also cant get any reading off them regarding the monitoring (even turning the dial to the black segment).
I found one which looks exactly the same with Fibaro smart power plug that I own.
It’s from aliexpress and you can get an adapter so as to work in UK.
Though,I am not sure if it actually works with Smartthings,but it’s z-wave.I asked the seller if it’s generic z-wave protocol so as to find out if there is any case it works with ST.
The company is called Coolcam
If you read in the aliexpress page it says it works with SmartThings!!!
