Power consumption plugs or?

Hello

I use some plugs that are flashed with tasmoto and they work perfectly, until I try to use them to control the home automation stuff, i.e. the server running HA. If I reboot the system the sockets reboot and then restart and then argh never turn on till HA/MQTT is running… so a deadlock. Can someone recommend some plugs or clip on electricity monitoring things please? just so I can check on my phone as to how much a device costs to run?

Cheers

I would check your settings in tasmota as to why they are turning on/off with broker disconnects. They should keep their states.

Also look into the retain settings. I have a number of tasmota devices that don’t flinch when the system comes down.

ok cheers… most of my tasmota devices flick on/off or just off with a ha reboot… will check that thanks

I’ve tried for ages to get this sorted. Still the same, as soon as HA reboots the switches power off

followed this and still the same

I have about a dozen Innr SP 120.

I use ESPHome for my power monitoring plugs and also faced this issue.

The ‘workaround’ I used was defining an increased reboot timeout in the native api section

Not sure if there is something similar for tasmota?

Can you read total consumption from SP 120?

I think it is just on and off…

It creates a power sensor and a consumption sensor in deCONZ at least.
I mean they are created in HA if you use deCONZ.

Unfortunately I have no deCONZ, I use Aeotec stick and ZHA.
ZHA creates:
_electrical_measurement - shows current power
_on_off
_smartenergy_metering - shows “Unknown”, I suppose this must be “consumption” value?

sp 120 shows current consumption (along with V and A) and total consumption.

Thanks… I stand corrected.
