Is there a way to let me know if the power of the freezer is off?
Can someone point me to the correct automation for this idea?
What a great software package this HA is
If the power to that outlet is off or the smart switch dies, then the states of all of those entities will likely go to unavailable or unknown.
If something happen to the freezer itself you will see changes to the pattern of power consumption. You will need to let it run for at least a couple days so you can determine what is normal.
I was hoping that if the power went off and then came back on an hour later the switch would remain in the on position. Right now it looks like the freezer is use 0.5 kWh per day, Would it be a good idea to say if the power switch uses less than 0.1 kWh per day then notify me? Is that the normal way of not losing a freezer full of meat?
Sad, this switch doesn’t have the start-up behavior option. I just unplugged the plug and plugged it back in again and the plug was in the disconnected position.
Thanks for your help!
I have the Gen1 version of the switch, and the ThirdReality website says “Third Reality Smart Plug is a simple solution to make the intelligence appliances smarter, like lights, fans, coffee makers and more. After the update, Smart Plug Gen2 keeps all former features and upgrade with real-time power monitoring and restore status.”, so I can’t imagine that they took away a feature.
But I don’t seem to be getting anywhere with setting the startup_on_off flag. I’ve tried several versions of value:1 etc but it isn’t triggering
Can anyone offer any pointers as to why the off_wait_time (id: 0x4002) doesn’t appear on the older HA and is there a work around to manually set the value?
I tried pre-setting the plug under the new HA but when I re-register the plug to the old version of HA it deletes the startup default settings
