Hi guys! I’m looking to monitor/control the power consumption of some old window-hanging aircon units, that don’t really mind when the power is literally cut from the wall. I’d like to be able to see how much power they consume, and also being able to turn them on and off at the socket (the IR doesn’t work all that well to begin with). I was checking about the Tapo P110M, but seems these are not sharing the power consumption offline, you need to register them in the app and they only do it through a Tapo account.
What alternatives do I have?
Important, I guess: As I live off an ex-UK colony here, we do have UK-like three pronged sockets, that’s the form factor (Type G, I think?) I’d be needing.
To clarify for others, that’s just for motor and AC loads. Rated capacity for resistive loads is 1800 W (15 A). Aside from a portable induction stovetop and possibly portable AC units, this is likely fine for most things people will connect to it. Its probably not a good fit for OP though.
