TOPGREENER TGWF115PRM Wi-Fi Plug with Energy Monitoring, Smart Outlet, Control Lights and Appliances from Anywhere, No Hub Required, White, Works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant - Amazon Vine

Ive been able to track how much energy that several utilities use, these have been handy in tracking down what makes the bill higher.

Overall a good item, but can be improved to be great! Im monitoring a small grid-tie inverter and every few days the plug just turns off (not because of a power outage, which is another issue). This causes the inverter to shut off and electricity to stop being produced. Also would be great to see the hourly or even minutely chart and a feature to reset total consumption.

An awesome product. No wonder it was rated one of the best smart plug with energy monitoring brands, already bought it multiple times (14 totals so far) after the first purchase. Highly, highly recommend to everyone.

I purchased a two pack, one to do general energy monitoring on any appliance, and one dedicated to charging one of our cars over 110v. Conclusion: Easy to setup, works with Google and Amazon voice assistants, lots of features for the price making it a great value. I really like the hardware (5/5): + Supports 15 amps (allows for a buffer around my cars 12 amp charger) + Energy monitoring + Easy to setup and use. Plug it in, hold the only button for several seconds to put into pairing mode, short presses to turn the switch on and off. + Responsive integration into Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa - Does not remember power state. If you lose power, or unplug the device, the outlet will always default back to the off position. App is good, but could be even better (4/5): + No Subscription + Easy to integrate into Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa + Automation section allows On/Off based on a number of triggers (Sunrise/Sunset, Outside temperature, humidity, weather, another TOPGREENER device, etc.) + Has room management abilities, so I can turn off a whole room instead of just one device using voice assistants. - No random On/Off windows to mimic someone being home - Energy Monitoring only shows Instantaneous, Daily and Monthly totals. No hourly or weekly views. - No IFTTT integration yet (which opens up a lot more options) Notes: - Requires 2.4ghz Wifi - The size is big, and can cover both outlets if used on the bottom. But the product pictures should have given that away. I wouldnt subtract a star for buying exactly whats pictured.

I love these, I can View energy usage, turn appliances on and off, set schedules and timers.. all from my phone. I can now control appliances at my house like coffee pot, electric blanket, patio and light stringers in a way I couldn’t before. Can now set my coffee pot the night before, and set to turn off my sons entertainment center in the middle of the night every night, he often falls asleep with it on. Definitely makes my home more efficient. Definitely recommend.

I bought these specifically to load Tasmota on them and control them via Home Assistant. And, they did not disappoint! I had them up and running in Home Assistant in minutes. And, they work perfectly.

I used one on my washing machine and set up a notification to alert me when the power dropped to zero and a load was finished. Works great! Doesnt work real well if you have too many people logged into the app tho, at most two. Super handy and no more forgotten laundry in the washer to grow moldy and stinky!

What I like most about these WiFi enabled smart electrical plugs is that it has all the features that the others have, plus what I really need is to be able to monitor your energy usage. Very helpful when trying to determine if an appliance is starting to go bad, when you see the energy use increases.

Please be aware that in a power outage it will not turn back on by itself. To overcome this I set a turn on schedule in the app for every few hours on a fridge. It’s not like flipping a light switch, so it just insures it’s on. I’m no Fire Marshal, but I don’t know why they don’t point this out. Too bad it’s not an option in the app to have it turn itself on every few hours. I have these rectangle ones and the one that covers the other outlet and they all work fine with the app. BTW, set an off time for sprinklers and such and that’s your duration if you are in charge of these things around the house. Pretty cool and easy now to be able to monitor sprinklers (and anything else) from anywhere with just this one app if you toss your old timer and just use the sprinkler wall wart in this outlet wired directly to the valve (with an inline fuse!). You will need one sprinkler wall wart(<$20) and outlet for each zone.

I use Home Assistant and prefer flashable devices that I can control locally with installing vendor apps or having network traffic round-trip to the public internet to control a plug sitting right next to me on the same LAN. These flashed Tasmota without issues using Tuya-Convert running on an old Raspberry Pi 1 I had lying around. To save someone else the trouble, here is the required Tasmota template: {NAME:TGWF115PRM,GPIO:[0,56,0,17,134,132,0,0,131,57,21,0,0],FLAG:0,BASE:18} I have not yet fully calibrated the energy usage yet, but did set the voltage using the VoltageSet command on the console. There is a page on the Tasmota Github site on power monitoring calibration for those interested. I am thrilled about the value of these devices -- they are as inexpensive as the Sonoff Basic but do not require soldering headers to flash or cutting power cords to install. Flash OTA; Plug; Play!
