I have the previous/default “INSPELNING” version (FW 2.4.34) installed on few plugs (6 out of 11) and i do have power monitoring available on all of them!
How accurate it is I have no clue.
I borrowed a Raspi with HA+Zigbee adapter installed and doing upgrades to latest FW (2.4.45)
.
It probably isn’t accurate, I think that was the issue that the newer firmware fixes.
How accurate does it need to be? I’m sure high end smart plugs are more accurate and better protected from overloading than cheap ones. If the load is low like for an LED lamp a cheap one works fine. But for heavy loads like a washer,… you get what you pay for. I never buy smart plugs without current or power monitoring because this gives you useful information for whatever plugged in. Like is it actually on? Off? Turned on/off?. Like my washer idles “off” when drawing less than 0.9W, but defiantly running when drawing greater than 20 watts. For electrically noisy appliances I latch these to a Boolean variable. So if <1w it’s off, if >20 it’s on. I then use the Boolean in the logic. I don’t care if the washer is actually drawing 500w or 50w, it’s on.
