Hey all,
I’m trying to determine if I can add energy monitoring to my Sonoff S31 Lite smart plugs. I know they have no energy monitoring by default. Does Tasmota add that? Or is Tasmota more for localizing cloud-bound hardware but not adding features?
Probably not
【Note】Power monitoring, power history record and over-load protection fuctions are S31 only.
Adding features which do require hardware in software is something that yet needs to be inveted!
Yes, the lites do not have the monitoring capability. It can’t be added.
Everything said here being true, you might consider looking at Powercalc. I use Powercalc prolifically on items where I don’t have an actual reading from the device but know the wattage in use when it’s on - and it also has a large database of well known devices that you can also utilize that would allow you to compensate for dim levels and such.
I use Powercalc even on things that report power, so I can group power groups and rooms together for my energy dashboard.
thank you!
That’s a great suggestion. I’ll check it out.
