Model: Kasa KS200M  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.12

API access to the Light and Motion sensors, & the ability to enable and disable the motion trigger light-on feature.

 

I am not alone with this request.  WE would like to propose API access to the MOTION and LIGHT sensors so that systems like Home Assistant can utilize these extra sensors for our triggers.  Also, an API call that enables and mutes the hardware motion sensor which triggers the light to turn on or off, when motion is detected. (Example: still provide motion sensor data, but do not trigger the light when motion is detected, for when the feature is enabled)

 

I have read forum after forum of people looking for these features, but nobody has this ability.  You have the perfect combination of a switch, motion sensor, and light sensor built into an inexpensive switch.  And if all it takes is a firmware update to expose these sensors locally, you could create the most perfect switch ever! 

 

With Home Assistant, we want to see data from these extra sensors to help trigger routines.  Your switches would sell like hotcakes!  I mean make a dimmer switch with all these same sensors, (even throw in temperature and humidity), and you would be unstoppable!

 

But for now, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, update the firmware to expose these extra sensors, thanks! :)

I would really like motion data to be accessible via the local API.

 

I have many use cases for motion sensors in switch but only for the motion data and not necessarily to turn on and off a light. I personally would buy 4 more units today if local API has motion and light data.

 

I know many more people are looking for a solution like this.
