Please add a feature to Tapo smart plugs that allows users to configure the plug to automatically turn off after a user-defined period, but only if the measured power consumption exceeds a specified wattage threshold.

 

Example Use Case:

If a device plugged into the Tapo plug draws more than 500W, the plug should turn off automatically after 10 minutes. This is useful for safety and energy-saving purposes, especially for high-power appliances.

 

Requested Settings:

 

Set a power (wattage) threshold (e.g., 500W)

 

Set a timer duration (e.g., 10 minutes)

 

If the plug detects power usage above the threshold, start the timer

 

After the timer expires, the plug turns off automatically

 

Benefits:

 

Prevents overheating and potential fire hazards

 

Saves energy by ensuring devices don’t run unnecessarily

 

Adds more automation and flexibility to energy management

 

Current Limitation:

Currently, Tapo plugs can turn off when a power threshold is exceeded or after a fixed timer, but not as a combination of both conditions.
