Power draw by different models of Smart plugs

[nepozs]

Two examples - first is for typical smart plug, which has entity from switch domain; and second is Osram Ligtify Plug01 used with conjunction to Philips Hue bridge and is exposed in light domain, as example I will use load of 20W power draw (to show simple maths - value of power draw used by load should be added to power draw used by smart-plug itself in on state):

sensor:

# any typical plug
  - platform: powercalc
    entity_id: switch.my_oukitel_brand_smartplug
    standby_power: 0.55
    fixed:
      power: 20.85

# osram lightify plug
  - platform: powercalc
    entity_id: light.my_salon_fan
    standby_power: 0.44
    fixed:
      power: 21.04

Shenzhen NEO Electronic	NAS-WR01Z	~0.6	~0.3	@nepozs	****
Qubino	Smart Plug 16A	0.5	0.3	@Mariusthvdb

U- values from this row should be used in configuration
*- "~" means unstable power draw, fluctuating between distant values
**- below 0.3W (must be measured using good class powermeter), in this case I can suggest use of value 0.2
***- TP-link HS110 (and also HS100) is old construction based on completely different chipset (as I remember taken from WiFi router, so it connects very high-speed compared to others, but it has unnecessary high power draw)
****- measured years ago, so I don't remember how (but surely used power meter wasn't really accurate)
*****- not measured yet

Awesome job @nepozs
Btw that tp link plug really uses a lot of power, Imagine you have 10 of them in your house, that would add up to 17.7 watt only standby constant power draw

I wonder if the Tapo P110 is any better, as they kind of just killed off the previous models!

[Mariusthvdb]

yeah, big +1 to that.

fwiw I am using these now:

# Philips Hue smart plug
  - entity_id: light.attic_living_flood_light
    <<: &Hue_plug
      platform: powercalc
      create_utility_meters: false
      standby_power: 0.25
      fixed:
        power: 0.92

# Shelly S plug
  - entity_id: switch.dorm_studenten
    <<: &shelly
      platform: powercalc
      create_utility_meters: false
      standby_power: 0.3
      fixed:
        power: 0.6

# Ikea wall plug
  - entity_id: switch.master_bed_outlet
    <<: &ikea
      platform: powercalc
      create_utility_meters: false
      standby_power: 0.4
      fixed:
        power: 0.8

# Fibaro FGWP102
  - entity_id: switch.espresso_keuken
    <<: &fibaro
      platform: powercalc
      create_utility_meters: false
      standby_power: 0.3
      fixed:
        power: 0.8

# Qubino Smart plug 16A
  - entity_id: switch.netwerk_library
    <<: &qubino
      platform: powercalc
      create_utility_meters: false
      standby_power: 0.3
      fixed:
        power: 0.5

# Everspring AN158
  - entity_id: switch.stookhok
    <<: &everspring
      platform: powercalc
      create_utility_meters: false
      standby_power: 0.2
      fixed:
        power: 0.5

# Greenwave GWPN1
  - entity_id: switch.quooker_keuken
    <<: &greenwave
      platform: powercalc
      create_utility_meters: false
      standby_power: 0.3
      fixed:
        power: 1.1

so the Everspring is set to an estimated 0.2. Might need to set that higher though, as it really is an older model, and I cant imagine it to use less than the more modern types. Still, it really doesn't spike the fibaro measurements..

I also tested a Frient plug:

## Frient plug
#  - entity_id: switch.symfonisk_dining
#    <<: &frient
#      platform: powercalc
#      create_utility_meters: false
#      standby_power: 0.3
#      fixed:
#        power: 0.6

but no longer use it. You can add it to the table though.

TODO: I should measure my:

• 2-3 arlec smart point variants
• Tapo P110 and P100

[Mariusthvdb]

was this ever merged #1094 ?
ofc, it isnt a 'smart' plug, but it will be widely used
https://www.ikea.com/nl/en/p/tradfri-wireless-control-outlet-smart-90356166/
mentioning a standby usage of 0.3 W btw, my measurements were 0.4....

also, I now notice they state it to be safe for 16A , 3840 W, which is remarkable, not many smart plugs do that.

[CloCkWeRX]

Might be worth turning into a fully fledged PR :)

[Mariusthvdb]

tbh, I believed that to be done already.
Now that I wanted t try an do that, what would we need to set the model to? given the fact all other devices have a different type (an abbreviation/number) this is a bit deviant ;-)

please see: #1295

[CloCkWeRX]

That might be a bit interesting:

https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/tradfri-wireless-control-outlet-smart-50356168/
vs
https://www.ikea.com/nl/en/p/tradfri-wireless-control-outlet-smart-90356166/

They are branded as the same concept, but quite different devices.

The 90356166 and 50356168 in the URLs suggest different items; so perhaps that's a good starting point?
What does it appear like in home assistant, if you view the device diagnostics?
