Model: Tapo P110   Tapo P115   Tapo P110M  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

There is Power meter function in those sockets. I live in country with unstable voltage. I have Air Conditioner connected through the P115 socket and it works great. Unfortunately I can't see the real voltage. When voltage drops below 150 volts, I would prefer not to switch on AC.

I also have Home Assistant node, so, have those sensors data (voltage and current) would be awesome. Now I have to use additional unnecessory DIY solution for this. It is quite annoying, knowing the sensor is already built into the socket.

I would also like something like that, I noticed that the external unit would make a noise when the voltage is low

All manufacturers have monitoring of an important parameter - voltage. Without this important parameter, how can I get the current strength? It is not clear why voltage monitoring is not implemented.

At least voltage monitoring. Always knowing the voltage and power at any given time - you can get the current strength

That was what i looking for!! Volate readings especially to prevent a/c to operate under udervoltage conditions

Voltage monitoring is required.

Naturally, if we are shown the power consumption, then the outlet knows about the voltage and current strength. But for some reason, they categorically do not want to at least show the current voltage, not to mention voltage monitoring - as for example at Yandex sockets - builds a graph for a month

It is such a shame that P115 / P110 thru Tapo smart app do not offer voltage info.
Even generic chinese smart sockets have voltage info included. Some of them even offer custom actions to be triggered when voltage threshold is reached.

I think this feature is a must to be implemented for such a device. Voltage for a power socket is a #1 metric in my opinion.
