I like the flexibility the power strip offers, but i think it would be great to have the possibility of power consumption monitoring like the smart plugs have (even if not by individual outlet). I know that theoretically I could plug the strip into the smart plug and have an overview there, but that would be impractical for a couple of reasons for me: firstly, having two Tapo devices in a row seems redundant, secondly, I have the power strip plugged into an outlet behind the cabinet, which would mean that I would have to move a cabinet further from the wall if any additional device is plugged in between…

Does anybody have an alternative approach which provides the same solution?

Based on the latest verified information, the energy monitor feature requires specific hardware support in the product to be implemented. Models that have already been released, but do not natively support this feature, such as the Tapo P300 mentioned in this post, cannot enable the energy monitoring feature through software updates alone.

 

If you're looking for a smart plug that supports the energy monitor feature, check on the supported models like the Tapo P110, and P115. More new products are on the way, stay tuned!

Power monitoring is essential for cost management.

A game changer! I did not even check if it monitors consumption, it is a must for this device. Please add the functionality, I hope it can be done by a firmware update.

 Would be great if you could check every plug consumption individually and a sum of all of them!

Yes, please add the function to measure energy consumption to the p300. I fully expected this function when I bought it.

After owning several P110 and P115 smart plugs, i totally expected the P300 power strip to have energy monitoring built in. Ideally for each separate plug, but definitely for the entire power strip. Hopefully, this can be fixed with a firmware update in the near future.

I just bought 5 of these only to be sorely disappointed by the fact that it can't monitor power usage at all 
Not even fussed if it can't do per point monitoring but at least overall is an absolute must have feature 

What is even the point of a smart power plug that can't monitor power? It has 2 jobs to do - power things up and tell me how much they cost. And it failed at one of those things. I hope a firmware update comes in the very near future to fix this

Oh God YES, I want power monitoring. I didn't check when I got it, and I was disappointed by the lack of one, even though those small tapo plugs have it.
