Power consumption as flow trigger
This discussion has been closed.

What is the Fibaro Powerplug support like right now? Is it possible to poll the Powerplug and get the current power consumption level as an integer value (or any other value, for that matter)?
I dunno what I can do with the configuration parameters though.

I am glad to share those experiences. One week before I was on your side with no homey, too (was preorderer, but found an geek with no time and got the homey 2nd hand )
I will now start a full clickthrough through all clickable options in the webUI.

If not then power consumption trigger is not really useful.
For now only "wallplug: none of above", "sensor" (strange choice) and "other" supports power usage.
If a user adds a wallplug Heater then power usage is unavailable and it's impossible to trigger.
Now 80% of the available device types don't display power usage and if I buy a device that supports metering, then homey should display it.
On pair which device type did you select for these plugs?
We have a electric backup heater for the Bathroom and if I select Heater then the same socket isn't showing power usage. To me thats a bit strange and if I want to trigger on power usage for this device, than its not possible.
