Is there any "smartplug" that does'nt require a cloud-service or an app in order to monitor electricity consumption and more?Ideally, something that is open by default and can sent statistics over MQTT or similar#askfediverse #askfedi #smartplug #electronics

@selea My knee-jerk response is to say “no” because part of the point of this is to 1) lock you into the vendor’s cloud service and 2) collect your information so it can be monetized, somehow.Making it open so you can roll your own monitoring solution would not let them monetize.You might be able to find such a plug but not from an IoT vendor it would be from a speciality IT equipment/hardware engineering studio.

@MisuseCase That is why I asked here, usually there is always someone that knows something about this here :)

@seleaOnly thing that immediately comes out of my head is Shelly. It's not a plug thou but a module you wire behind your socket or light switch. It can be controlled via App or MQTT and there are Tasmota builds available if desired.It's probably not what you're looking for but it can be interesting, too. And with knowledge you can build your own smart socket with it of course.

@selea I don’t know a lot about these kinds of places but maybe look at seeed studio (no that’s not a typo). They make a lot of interesting hardware that you can configure however you like.They’re in China if that sort of thing matters to you.https://www.seeedstudio.com/

@selea You want to control it remotely? The IKEA Trädfri line uses zigbee, so no internet required.

@selea https://tasmota.github.io/docs/I knew this rang a bell. I don't know which devices are supported, but I believe Shelly smart plugs are on that list.

@seleaYou can look for plugs which are allow to replace firmware by tasmota. https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Some of those devices can be upgraded using tuya-convert without touching the hardware.

@neil @selea just adding - I bought a couple of these https://nous.technology/product/a1t.html and flashed tasmota on these. You can hook these up to #homeassistant or go to these directly via a browser and possibly much more.

@selea I'm using several Shelly Plug S with their Home Assistant integration that's built on CoIoT (but they can also do MQTT). They're running on 2.4GHz Wifi.I assume it's basically the same hardware as the Nous plugs or others that look similar, but Shelly has their own software (that optionally ties into their cloud stuff).

@selea No, it's off by default and has to be enabled on the web interface after connecting to a Wifi network.(Well technically you can enable MQTT before, as initial configuration and joining an existing Wifi is done by connecting to a default hotspot network generated by the plug.)

@selea https://www.mylocalbytes.com/products/smart-plug-pm these run Tasmota or ESPhome by default, but you could flash them with whatever you want. Advantage of sticking with mqtt is that it can be easily configured to push to MQTT, or Home Assistant.I have two (which were originally Tasmota but I flashed ESPhome) and they are perfect. They are available for EU or UK sockets.

@selea @whynothugo @max it ends up being 25% of the invoice total including shipping, plus fees, plus more taxes on those fees. No exempt amount. I have ordered stuff where the VAT+fees ended up being more than the cost+shipping.

@seleaHere is a shop that sells devices pre-flashed with Tasmota. It may work for what you are looking for. They have worked with the people on the Self Hosted podcast with @ironicbadger https://cloudfree.shop/product-category/smart-plugs/
