I’m thrilled to share my recent success with configuring an automation for my TP-Link HS110 smart plug! After some trial and error, I managed to set up a system that turns off the plug when the connected devices enter standby mode and the power consumption drops below 8W. This has been a fantastic way to optimize energy usage in my home office.
Here’s a quick overview of what I did:
- Setup: I used Home Assistant’s automation feature to monitor the power consumption state attribute of the HS110.
- Testing: I tested the automation with different devices to ensure it accurately detects standby mode and triggers the power-off action.
- Outcome: The automation works flawlessly now, and it’s been a great way to reduce standby power waste.
I’d love to hear if others have similar setups or any tips for further optimization!
