Does TP-Link make any outdoor-rated smartplug with energy monitoring ?

 

I would like to monitor the energy usage of my water softener, which is located outside. I specifically want to be notified if it fails, in which case the power draw goes would go down to zero. I have hard water, and having the unit fail for any length of time is hazardous to my plumbing. I believe I can use HomeSeer to do this monitoring in combination with a Kasa energy monitoring plug, such as the KP115, which I own. But the KP115 is not rated for outdoor use.

 

The KP400 is outdoor-rated, but lacks energy monitoring.

  @Solla-topee Somehow, I don’t think any firmware updates or app change is going to make existing plugs waterproof.
