Hi all,
I have a bit of a specific request. I would like to track exactly how much wattage is being pulled through one of my power outlets with a resolution of around 5 seconds ideally. The goal is to know exactly how many minutes thoughout the day a particular machine is being used (for continuous improvement purposes in the factory I work at).
For this I was thinking of connecting a Zigbee or TP-Link tapo smart outlet to Home assistant using a raspberry pi 4.
Will this work or am I missing something ?
I’m not super savy with electronics and programming (mechanical engineer lol), but I can follow a tutorial and am open to suggestions. Thanks in advance !
