It also supports alerts. For example, if my kitchen refrigerator uses too much electricity in a day, that's an alert on my phone. If it uses too little electricity, that's an alert. If the wireless temperature sensor inside the fridge or freezer goes over temperature for too long, that's an alert.
Last December, I actually noticed my fridge was broken because the TP-Link monitored electricity consumption spiked. Back then I didn't have any alerting - just graphs. But I happened to look at the graph one day and saw the anomaly. "That's not good."
Nowadays I have lots of automated monitoring to notice anomalies like that even faster in the future.
Based on your search history for Home Assistant compatible power strips, the Kasa Smart Power Strip HS300 has limited Home Assistant compatibility and cannot operate purely locally without cloud access.
Current Status with Home Assistant:
- Requires cloud connectivity for most smart features
- Can be integrated with Home Assistant through the Kasa integration, but still depends on TP-Link's cloud service
- Physical buttons work without internet, but no smart automation
Better Local Control Options:I found several alternatives that offer better local network control:
Tapo Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip- 6 Individually Controlled Smart Outlets and 3 USB Ports with Surge Protection, Matter, Works w/Alexa, Google Home, Siri, & Bixby, No Hub Needed, Tapo P316M
Matter Smart Power Strip,Works with Apple HomeKit, Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant, with 4 Individually Controlled AC Outlets & 2 USB 2 Type-C Ports, Multi-Plug Extender for Home Office
XENON ZigBee Power Strips Surge Protector, USB C Power Strip, Smart Life APP/Timer, 4 Individually Controlled Outlets, Compatible with Alexa Google Home Phillilps HUE, Need ZigBee Gateway Hub
ZigBee Smart Power Strip Surge Protector,Smart Fast Charge, 4 Individually Controlled Outlets, Compatible with Alexa Google Home Phiilps HUE, Black
For true local-only operation with Home Assistant, the Zigbee options provide complete local control without any cloud dependency once paired with your Home Assistant's Zigbee integration.
