Energy level as a trigger
Energy level as a trigger
Hi,
Is it possible to have a new trigger for routines that is triggered when the appliance energy draw is below a pre determined level?
Thsi was for example if a washing mashine finsihed it's cycle and in idle, the plug will switch off allowing an Alexa routine to be triggered to annouce

Ideally:
TRIGGER:
P110 power > 200W
IF:
Duration > 30 min
THEN:
P110 Off

Absolutely and desperately needed as i a own a small photovoltaic installation (600W) which could be used in soft automation with the tapo smart plugs.
E.g. turn on the washing machine as soon as =>400W solar energy is being produced.

@Agius We need this feature ASAP the only reason I got the smart plugs was for this, about half the appliances in my home are new smart devices so I can get notifications when my dryer is done or the dishwasher is complete. I got these plugs for the same notification ability. for my washer, I wanted to set up a notification I.E. once the power consumption decreases after the spin cycle, I can set a notification or for my dehumidifier, if the filter gets blocked or the tank fills and the system powers down I would want the plug to get me a notification.
the whole power on/off feature of these plugs barely makes any sense anyway. most electronics had an independent power button that needs to be pressed besides lamps and my uncles 20 year old coffee maker.
if anyone knows how I can get this kind of notification without buying a whole hub system? please email me I currently have the smart things app set up to send my phone the notifications for my dryer and dishwasher.
