## Overview

The KAUF Power Monitoring Smart Plug is a cutting-edge device designed for seamless integration with Home Assistant, offering local control without the need for cloud services.

The latest firmware updates enhance power monitoring accuracy and provide customizable LED features, making it a versatile addition to any smart home setup.

## Description

Same KAUF firmware you know and love with new and improved hardware. This classic home automation device can be used to switch on and off a device that plugs into a standard U.S. 120-volt wall outlet. Common usages include lamps, box fans, and Christmas lights. Power monitoring lets you know how much power the plugged in device is using, as well as whether the plugged in device is running and when it finishes. A binary sensor is automatically created that lets you know if the plugged in device is running using a configurable wattage threshold. The recommended Tasmota template is {"NAME":"Kauf Plug","GPIO":[0,320,0,32,2720,2656,0,0,321,224,2624,0,0,0],"FLAG":0,"BASE":18}. IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not have anything plugged into the KAUF Smart Plug when Tasmota is first flashed.

## Features

- Power monitoring Smart Plug with 15 amp relay.
- Runs ESPHome out of the box for 100% local control without flashing, soldering, editing YAML, or hoping tuya-convert works.
- Connects natively to Home Assistant without going through a cloud connection or requiring a third-party App to setup or connect the plug. ESPHome HTTP API allows use without Home Assistant.
- Reprogrammable with any ESP8266 compatible firmware. Easily integrates into any existing MQTT system. Compatible with Tasmota.
- Firmware version 1.91 adds independent configuration for use of red and blue LEDs, as well as allowing for dimming of both.
- Firmware version 2.02 improves power monitoring accuracy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Perfect Smart Plug for Home Assistant!
  

*by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2023*

I was SO HAPPY to find this product being that it's made specifically for Home Assistant. Great form factor, power monitoring, and an *almost perfect user experience. As others have mentioned, the OTA updates can fail when you try to update them in ESPHome. The easiest fix is to disable the API encryption key, which reduces the size of the compiled firmware and allows you to upload it successfully. It seems like ESPHome added encryption as a default after Kauf released this product, so this issue isn't entirely their fault. Still giving this product 5 stars.

So refreshing to find a product that just... is what it says it is. Having been at this a short while and learning along the way i'm already real tired of proprietary implementations which require either locking myself into apps and cloud services or taking devices apart to flash with Tasmota. I bought the four-pack of this item and i had all four set up in less than 15 minutes. All local control and NOW if i want i to add any given device to a cloud service or voice assistant, i can do this. It's backwards to the way things usually work and it feels vaguely subversive but i love it.I've not had such a device before (apart from my budding collection of Arduino projects) so i was delighted to find such a comprehensive array of options. Pretty much any metric you could want from a smart plug can be enabled as a HA entity. So you can monitor voltage or on/off state, you can monitor power or current, heck you even fiddle with button and LED behavior without writing a ton of YAML and all this stuff can go into graphs for an overdose of geekishness.Maybe i'm stating the obvious but i'm relatively new to all this and i am just tickled.The documentation is great as well. Clearly written, (not in Chinglish), straightforward, and accurate. Included is only a basic Getting Started guide and there's lots more to the thing but there's a webpage and github (and a whole internet) for whatever else you might like to do.The only criticism i have is that the instructions also advise to import into ESPHome Dashboard -first- to facilitate firmware updates and to rename the entities to something sensible before adding to HA. That's possibly good advice but the problem is that it is on page 12, on the flip side of paper. So i found that *after* i'd gone and set them all up and had four entities in my energy dashboard all named "Kauf Plug". I'd recommend rearranging the manual a bit, or at least referencing this in the "Adding to Home Assistant" section. I wasn't aware there was even such a thing as a ESPHome Dashboard.Oh well the blame is half mine for failing to flip the page. I sorted it, and it doesn't detract from my satisfaction.This product/company deserves applause for a good product that works as advertised and then some. And it deserves support for providing a consumer-friendly product. Let Google, Amazon, and Apple duke it out with Tuya, Sonoff, and dozens of other wannabe smart-thing tycoons with their restrictive and mutually exclusive ecosystems, i suspect the future is in open source and interoperability. I'm usually stingy with my reviews and few products get five stars from me. This one is deserving.

    Super easy setup and ready for Home Assistant out of the Box.
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2023*

The best smart plug I've seen yet. Since it's pre-loaded with ESPHome, HA detected and configured it right away. Energy use is pre-calibrated, so there's no additional steps required.I should deduct one star because there's not enough on board storage to update the firmware.Other than that, it's an ideal solution.Free Space for OTA shows 417792 bytes but I'm not able to update from 2.055(y) (from ESPHome 2023.7.0)
