HS110 Appliance Power Off Notification
Please can the dev for the next Kasa update consider adding auto push/notification function to the app should power of the appliance connected to the HS110 turns zero. This will particularly help with applications such as washing machines and dryers by getting notifications when they are done. Most modern (apart from smart ones) washers and dryers have the auto off function when an operation or complete cycle is complete. It doesn't have to detect low wattage, just absolute zero as the appliance is auto switched off. Essentially, I would want to get a notification whenever my washer/dryer is turned off meaning that it's done. Thanks guys.

I join your resquest, it would be very interesting if the app sent a PUSH notification, to know when the pulg has been connected and another when it has been disconnected according to the schedule.
Whasers and dryers when they end tje cycle and stop, they always have a current consumption, even if it is residual.

@Franrz Thanks for your support @Franrz hopefully the Kasa dev team will include this feature in the next update. In the meantime, I have done some research and found this very simple app on Google Play (not sure if available for iOS) that does the job for the HS110. It allows you to set & monitor the wattage at designated time intervals and triggers a push notification on your Android device when the value falls below or above the values set. I have tried it myself & it worked & have been using it since. See below link for details if interested.

If you want to be notified when you're away from home you need too use a cloud service (maybe IFTTT?) or you need to run a server inside your home to monitor the device and report changes. My app, AutomationManager (https://sites.google.com/site/mppsuite/wemomanager/features), does just that - it can run as a server to provide advanced in-home automation including monitoring and sending notification of power usage/ranges as well as record and log usage data.
Could you please make a "how too" for this.
I purchased the AutomationManager app but am unable to make things work.
Thank you in advance!

Sure - first you need to set up the server either on android: https://sites.google.com/site/mppsuite/wemomanager/wemomanager-howto or a PC/MAC: https://sites.google.com/site/mppsuite/downloads/wemoserver-java.
For this you only need one rule:
Trigger: WhenValue [your HS110] below 1W (or whatever make sense)
Action: SendGmail to [your email]
Or flash another light, announce on your Echo/Dot, etc. The full rulese is here: https://sites.google.com/site/mppsuite/wemomanager/wemorules.
