Hi, 

 

I hope someone can help me. I've many devices on Tapo smart plugs in my apartment and several automations set up involving them. I recently bought 2 P110 energy monitoring plugs to be able to use an automation that will do the following: turn my TV Backlight (Govee T2) on when power useage is above 10W on the P110 that my TV is plugged in to, and the reverse for when the TV turns off. 

 

I've tried many things, but the power level won't show up as an automation trigger in the Tapo app, Alexa or Google Home. Despite this, the plugs report energy useage fine and show everything in each app.

 

How do I get the power useage to be a trigger for automations? It should be there in addition to power on/off according to everything I've read. Is there another type of smart plug that can do this automation if the P110 doesn't?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Greg
