@dbej Thanks for all the work you’ve done so far. I’ve got a weird error in my command prompt after executing the on/off from within ST app. Have you or anyone seen this before?
I use smartthings to operate it exclusively unless the Internet is down and have had no issues. From what I can tell it sends on off signals and not just a toggle. So if I tell Alexa to turn it on and its already on, it doesn’t turn off but stays on which is what it sounds like you want. The issue comes when your server running crashes or if for some reason the dhcp changes the ip address of your plug like what happened to me today. I rebooted my raspberry pi a few times until I thought to check the ip addresses in the router and for some reason my static routing had failed. A simple reboot of the router fixed it.
no, I don’t see this. I just see. 192.168.2.247 execute on or execute off. nothing more
I tested something just now. I turned the switch on manually and it didn’t show the change in smartthings as you said. I then created a CoRE piston that refreshes the state of the smart plug every minute and allowed it to run and sure enough being allowed to run it then showed the state change in smartthings. Again the communication seems to have to be triggered from within smartthings but it’s not detrimental to the device’s function but it would be good if it would update its state on its own without prompting.
I think I remember seeing refresh entries in my log, they just aren’t very frequent. Might be a setting that can be changed in the DTH or node code. Not sure though.
I bought the Amazon Echo Dot because the hs100 is fully integrated and the hs200 light switch . I’ll see at the same time if I can see Alexa’s devices in my smartthings. For the price of Echo dot, it’s a good test. I live in canada, I received the echo dot in January. I send reviews after test
is it possible you send me variables of your Core.
Basic
if ;
action.
@T1tentrum - I can tell you that whilst the amazon echo / dot can see devices connected to Smartthings, Smartthings cannot see devices connected to the echo /dot.
one way integration, is it just with echo dot, or all Amazon echo is samethings
It’s the same for echo or echo dot. Nevertheless the one way integration does work very well. 
is it possible you modify node server for refresh enable. this is very appreciated. thanks you
I use pollsterwithrefresh. github smartapps. very good. Choice device and smartapps send poll requests every 1 minutes

I moved the step-by-step instruction into it’s own thread here:
I think you should include the fact that this can be setup on a raspberry pi as well as on a NAS or any always on device able to run node. Honestly I’d recommend a pi for this application as it uses very little electricity, my pi 3 used less than 3w when being used for playing media when an always on Windows PC will be uses much much more!
I did include a note about this in the new thread. I’m not in a position to offer any assistance with RP since I don’t have one, but if you or someone else want to add a comment in the thread about how to do this with RP I’d be happy to edit my original post and link to that comment.
I havent seen anyone write up on this, but I figured I’d ask. How hard might it be to integrate this into Smartthings Node Proxy as an additional plugin? The JS file could go into the plugins folder, I am just unsure what kind of configuration would be needed in config.json…
FDThank you very much on this. I have it now working via QNAP. I hope someone could find a way also to make its energy monitoring worked with ST.
glad you got some use out of it. For me running a docker instance is about 1000% easier than the crazy windows HOWTO instructions, but to each their own.
I hope someone could find a way also to make its energy monitoring worked with ST.
I didn’t write the original code, but I could probably add it as long as the underlying API supports it, which supposedly it does (GitHub - plasticrake/tplink-smarthome-api: TP-Link Smarthome WiFi API). I don’t have a 110 to test with though. Supposedly someone says they are working on it in the HOWTO thread, but not finished yet.

Yes Docker is the easiest way to implement the code. But there really is no step-by-step guide of doing that. It took me two days to get it. Anyway, your repository did make it easier. I’m sure, I can get the update from it automatically once Energy Monitoring was incorporated. Oh, and I also have to update the Device Handler.
Any update on energy monitoring?
