I’m in the US and just got a Homey Bridge and it doesn’t work with my Kasa KP125MP4 plugs. I’m looking for energy monitoring plugs but can’t find any that work for US users. Looking for any plug suggestions or help for US users, everything seems to be focused on the overseas market.

Welcome Forrest! … The Shelly Wave PM Mini, works well for me. It is a Z-Wave device, this works better with Homey then Zigbee for me. I use the Homey Bridge as a Satellite. … Maybe you can find the Official Shelly app for your Bridge. [Shelly](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/cloud.shelly/Shelly/)

But: [Here you find that there is quite some difference between Pro and Bridge versions](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-bridge-apps/55534/2)

Thanks I’ll look into the Shelly. So it looks like the Homey Bridge is about 95% useless without already owning a Homey Pro, not much it can do by itself?

Indeed, it’s a “dumb” box: it is an extension to add local protocols to Homey cloud.

The fact folks think they should buy a bridge, is because everyone calls Homey Cloud/premium, Homey Bridge. Don’t ask me why.
