Logical feature we had years ago with standby savers. Want to be able to hard turn off an appliance once it's soft powered off or finished its cycle as I have some appliances which have more of a vampire power drain then a TAPO uses

+1 Without this feature depending on the device plugged in (PC, Washing machine, Dishwasher etc) automated power-off is not possible in a safe way.

This is a very important feature!

 

Please add ability to add a "Delay Action" option as well to make sure if a connected device is only dipping shortly below the threshold (e.g. due to a restart) it will not instantly be cut from power.

This feature is exactly why I bought the p115 plugs in the first place. Thought it would be a central feature of the devices

This would be extremely useful

Great idea, another use is as a safety feature and limiting fully charging batteries. A smart charger tend to tail off the charging rate as the battery reaches full capacity.

That's real smart automation

It looks like the new Tapo P110 for the US market will have a feature called Smart Charge Guard, which seams to implement a low power off feature. It is unclear to me if that also checks if the low power state is actually happening for a period of time though.

 

The main question for me is if the feature will be implemented for the older devices as well, and will be available in other markets?

 

I live in Europe and would be interested in this feature for home automation.

I genuinely can't believe that this feature isn't part of the existing plug. It just seems like a no brainer and was the reason I bought these plugs in the first place.

In reality, if they don't do it it's because it greatly reduces the lifespan of the smart plug. In fact, I myself programmed a Raspberry Pi to automate this shutdown when consumption drops below a threshold, and I have already returned two plug for after-sales service.
The reliability of these smart plug is not very good, and this reduces their lifespan to just under two years.

 

As long as the components used are not of much better quality, they will not integrate such functionality into their connected socket.
