Guys,
This is done through HomeKit Controller Support.
Found that out following this link to these HomeKit Controller support component testing topic here at the forum that @marthocoo posted on April 18.
Better pin this up and close this topic.

For reference it appears that you may also use the Tuya platform component for Koogeek devices.
I was setting up a Koogeek KLUP1 plug (switch+sensor) that stated it was not HomeKit compatible. I don’t have any kind of hub anyhow, but as I already had a free Tuya account and the app on my phone, I simply added the device using Tuya / Add Device and it was recognised immediately by Home Assistant.
The downside for now is that the Tuya platform does not currently support Sensor device types, so it’s only useful for the switch functionality.
I too use the Homekit controller for my Koogeek and Tado devices. Works like a charm. No apple needed!
I’m using a couple of Koogeek P1EU plugs. Is there a way to also make the power consumption information available to HA. I cannot get this to work with the Homekit controller, but this works fine with the Koogeek app.

What about Koogeek support in 2020?
I also would want to monitor the power consumption inside HA.
Kogeek produces two types of devices - HomeKit-compatible (most of light switches for example) and Tuya-compatible (controlled via its own application, Kogeek Life). Smart plugs KLUP1 are Tuya-compatible, with switch and consumption values.
I can help with investigations/tests of second types of devices, but I am new to HA and need some advice.
SAme here, is there any solution?
My decision was to upgrade them to Tasmota. Successfully flashed, and original Tasmota integration works fine. No more clouds, no more China servers…
I dont know how… but the usage shows up as a sensor now.
must have been some kind of update of homeassistant since i did not change anything

wow you’re right. same for me!
The energy consumption feature has been just released. Is it possible to have the used energy displayed in Home Assistant like you can see it in the Koogeek app. Currently it looks like that only the current power is reported in HA but not the energy used.

Hi everyone,
i have a Problem with the energy monitoring with the 3 outlet variant.
I used to have it in Apple HomeKit. Now as I try to switch everything to Home Assistant, i managed to delete it from Homekit and use the Integration to add it to HASS. So far so good.
The problem is, that the energy monitor is simply stuck at 181 Watts. The Kogeek App does show nothing anymore (just 0). Am I missing something here?
Sorry if I might mix up words (german)
I am experiencing the same issue. I have connected the Koogeek plug to Home Assistant using the HomeKit controller, but it only displays 0.0 watts, even when it is using power. I have checked for any defects in the reading and have reconnected the plug to HomeKit. Within the Koogeek app, I can see the usage of the plug, but Home Assistant is unable to detect this usage.
I also face this problem 
Same here, I want to see power consumption from the plug into the HA, someone did it ?
Same thing for me.,0w for this Koogeek plug p1eu
I am getting energy monitoring from my Koogeek O1US (three individually controllable receptacles, several always-on USB charging ports, sensor is probably reporting total usage) via HomeKit Device.
I am not getting any energy monitoring for two Koogeek P2US outlets (single receptacles, LED night light), also connected to Home Assistant via HomeKit Device.
Alright so I have a couple of Koogeek Smart Plugs P1EU that work exclusively with Homekit and their app, no Tuya…therefore I had to find a solution.
The issue: HomeKit does not support Wattage reading, the plug itself sends the data but homekit can’t process it, no matter which brand it comes from. Only 3rd party apps support it.
The solution: We have to trick homekit that the device actually has a different reading, not W
Full list of what homekit can read can be found here: HomeKit Bridge - Home Assistant
These being said, a template has to be created for this to work, after adding the following template, my plug finally sends data, it was stuck to 0 before.
My actual template:
sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
home_energy_usage:
friendly_name: "Template Name Plug X Energy Usage"
unit_of_measurement: lx
device_class: power
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.koogeek_p1_23ddsd_power_2') | float * 1 }}"
Replace: sensor.koogeek_p1_23ddsd_power_2 with your sensor ID
This tricks homekit that the plug is actually a lumen sensor into reading the “lumens” of the plug and sends that data instead.
From here on you can do whatever you want with that data…so problem solved.
