Tags: #Energy Monitoring

Model: Tapo P115

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.1.3 Build 240523 Rel. 175054

The energy and power usage data I downloaded only include 7-days worth of hourly logs. Daily data is available for the last 3 months (it may be more but I have only had these smart plugs for just over a month now). I also bought temperature/humidity sensors which allows me to specify the begin and the end date for the data period as well as the data interval (1 minute, 15 minute, hour) to include in the download file. The temp/humidity data covers the entire duration I've had the sensors in detailed minutes. I would like to get hourly records for the energy and power usage for at least a month. Is there a way to do this?

I will have to forward the request to the team, as I am not sure - but I do not think so.

I believe that this may be a result of the energy monitoring data being stored on the plug itself, rather than using our servers to host the data.

Given that the interfaces only go back a week for daily data and the exports change to have summarized data, I would think it may be the result of storage running out. By summarizing the data after a week, it would save significant storage on the plug - especially when these devices typically only have a few MB of storage to work with. The sensors also get the added advantage of storing their data to their hub, which may justify their added settings.

@Riley_S Thank you for seeking the possibility of this functionality in the future, if the dev team accepts the request.

Thank you also for enlightening me that the data is stored at each device. I have seen on GitHub that the device would respond to REST API. I will explore automatically downloading the data in a regular interval before the memory space runs out. Your response opened a door of hope that I can deal with this limitation. Manually initiating the data download from the phone app is prone to exceeding the 7-day limit.
