Are there ā€œsmart plugsā€ that run Linux or something?

Looking at a simple interface that can turn the plug on/off (based on, say, cURL). Maybe also something that would run and can send heartbeat requests to betteruptime.comā€¦

Not really interested in some unsupported API (such as github.com/python-kasa/python-) or consumer product I need an app for to controlā€¦

pro tip: If youā€™re considering running a server because you want to set up a (linkdhome.com/articles/homebri), you can do the same thing with a and not have to run a server.

Obviously this doesnā€™t scale if you need multiple switches or the other features that youā€™d get from a server. But if you have limited needs, itā€™s worth considering.

Iā€™m using a MS110 plug for this and it works great for my needs.

@xplore @johnmclear You can update the firmware. The smart plugs came from Local Bytes with Tasmota 12.1.0. I used the OTA upgrade to download 12.4.0, the latest version. It downloads the minimal firmware first, then you use firmware update again to get the full version.

@richard5mith You're right and I'd much prefer Zigbee over Wi-Fi. But Zigbee smart plugs with energy monitoring cost Ā£30 each. These were Ā£12.50, so I'm willing to compromise.

My latest order from Local Bytes has arrived, two smart plugs pre-flash with Tasmota.

Tasmota is open source firmware for ESP devices.

These smart plugs connect to Wi-Fi and include energy monitoring.

I already have one plugged into my washing machine. When the washing machine finishes I get an alert from Home Assistant.
