I have a handful of smart plugs from Maginon (SP-1E) at home. They are smart plugs that can be switched and measure the power consumption (and Energy consumption). There is no component available for Home Assistant, but when browsing in the integrations, I saw that an Edimax integration is there. Since the Maginon smart plugs are similar to one type of the Edimax SP-1101 ones, I thought integration would be easy... Now I know better. :-) I am not a programmer, but have an analytic mind and I understand some
It is smart plug outlet which actually allows me to control the switch (on/off) of an outlet and allows me to measure power, energy consumed, see actual voltage or current. So it is more than just a switch, it is a sensor (measurement device) as well. It runs Busybox Linux and can be accessed via telnet (command line access) or a web interface (http). It is connected to a 2.4Ghz Wifi network.
I used the Edimax integration as an example for my code (from oct/2020). I took me some time but I found out that there are 2 major parts in the integration and there is 1 configuration part.
