This is great thank you! Do you have a smart plug that you like? I'm looking for something that monitors wattage, not just turns off/on. The Wemo Insight Smart Plug is the right kind of thing but it's not hacker friendly.

I haven't looked for that kind of thing yet. I thought the Wemo outlets let you talk directly to them on the LAN and also had Home Assistant support though!

  Yeah, I gather Z-Wave is where it's at. (Also for separation for security concerns). I started playing with Tuya smart plugs but then got confused what all the options were. Lots of Shenzhen clones.

  Yikes the Wemo outlets have pretty bad reviews though. I think I'll look for a z-wave version instead of wifi.
