I’ve been really interested in optimizing my home’s energy usage, and the SmartPower Outlet seemed like the perfect solution. I’ve done some research and even reached out to the SmartThings team during their Kickstarter campaign, who confirmed that energy monitoring was possible. However, I’m still a bit stuck on how to set it up properly.
I remember reading about an energy.meter function, but as someone who’s not very experienced with development, I’m struggling to find the right documentation or resources. I’ve tried reaching out again recently, and they mentioned it was possible, but I’m not quite sure how to proceed.
I’m hoping to use the SmartPower Outlet as a Kill-a-Watt alternative, monitoring the energy consumption of my devices in real-time. If anyone has tips or feedback on how to achieve this, I’d be really grateful! I’ve read as much as I can, but I think it’s time to ask the community for help.
Let’s see if we can figure this out together! Maybe there’s a workaround or a feature in development that I’m not aware of. I’m excited to hear your thoughts and experiences!
