Smart Meter Outlets and Automation Tips

Hey everyone, I’ve been diving into setting up smart meter outlets to avoid overloading circuits in my home. After moving into a new place, I realized that my bathroom circuit breaker shares the same outlet as one in the garage. It was a bit of a shock when using the air blower and a tool at the same time caused a trip. :person_facepalming::female_sign:

I’m curious if anyone has experience creating an automation where only one device can be used at a time through smart outlets. It would be amazing to prevent such overloads automatically. Also, if anyone has recommendations for reliable smart meter outlets—whether WiFi or Zigbee—I’d love to hear your suggestions! :rocket:

On a lighter note, I’ve also been exploring DIY color options for my Govee mini lamps and strip lights. It’s been a fun way to customize the ambiance without breaking the bank. If anyone has tips or favorite color combinations, please share! :blush:

Lastly, I’ve been trying to integrate my Vaillant vSmart into Home Assistant. The process seems a bit tricky, especially with the need for Client ID and Secret. If anyone has successfully done this or has tips, I’d appreciate the help! Thanks for sharing your experiences and insights. :raised_hands:
