That plug features a CSE7766 for power monitoring which is/should be more accurate as the HLW8012 mentioned in other plugs so far. ![]()
Beside also esp inside so full ownership can be taken and the thing should be future proof even years after the vendor filed for bankruptcy ![]()
They used to have CSE7766 but downgraded to a HLW8032 last year ![]()
That heavily depends on how the device actually is calculating the energy used. Often the device just polls the sensor every
seconds and does a simple integral. If the load is resistive this probably gets the job done but if the
is high and the power factor low the calculate energy can be quite off ![]()
Now in case a manufacture ships a device like that with limited or buggy *ware you can change that behavior (and make it more accurate*) in case it has a esp inside
On the other hand if it is a “black box” plug (
) there is not much to do beside accept it or maybe use a work’a’round in HA to limit the damage ![]()
*best is usual a high esphome internal update interval (maybe 0.1s) for calculating the energy but at the same time a slightly lower/throttled interval for ha (for example 1 or 2s) to don’t bend the server to it’s knees with 50 plugs hammering in ![]()
