@hongtat, regarding the POW R2, there’s a small piece of functionality that @GaryMilne wrote into his now-defunct DH called “Operating State”, which was very useful for me when used in webCoRE.

[OBSOLETE]: Tasmota Device Handler for Plugs with Power Monitoring

Here is my latest DH in late BETA form. This time its for Tasmota Plugs with Power Management. This screenshot shows most of the capabilities of the device handler. Apart from exposing a variety of power information from the Tasmota Plug it also supports the notion of “Operating State” based upon power consumption of the downstream device. Operating states are On, Off, Standby. This should provide some interesting capabilities such as monitoring a Washing Machine or Dryer and knowing when it has hit a low power state which would indicate completion of a cycle. You will need to use something like WebCore or SharpTools to access these states programmatically.

It allows for a setting of “standbyThreshold” in watts.

• If the power consumption of the electrical device connected to the POW R2 is zero, the operating state is considered to be Off.
• If the power consumption of the electrical device connected to the POW R2 is above zero but below the standby threshold, the operating state is considered to be Standby.
• If the power consumption of the electrical device connected to the POW R2 is above the standby threshold, the operating state is considered to be On.

If you perchance had the time and inclination to add this to your DH, is this kind of customization even possible in the new ST app?
