Hey everyone, I’ve been exploring ways to integrate energy monitoring into my smart home setup without relying on a SmartThings or Aeotec hub. I’ve come across several Wi-Fi smart plugs that promise energy reporting, but I’m struggling to figure out which ones actually work seamlessly with the SmartThings app for creating routines. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s successfully set this up, especially if you’re in the UK as well! 
I’ve tried a few plugs that claim to support energy monitoring, but setting up routines based on energy usage hasn’t been straightforward. It seems like some models require specific drivers or hubs, which defeats the purpose of going hub-free. Has anyone found a reliable plug that doesn’t need additional hardware but still allows for routine automation based on energy data?
For those in the UK, I’m particularly interested in hearing about your experiences with local products. I’ve seen some promising options, but I’m not sure which ones are worth the investment. Any recommendations or tips would be incredibly helpful!
Let’s share our findings and maybe even troubleshoot together. The more we collaborate, the smarter our setups become!
