This `edimax` switch platform allows you to control the state of your [Edimax](http://www.edimax.com/edimax/merchandise/merchandise_list/data/edimax/global/home_automation_smart_plug/) switches.
This `edimax` switch platform allows you to control the state of your [Edimax](https://www.edimax.com/edimax/merchandise/merchandise_list/data/edimax/global/home_automation_smart_plug/) switches.
To use your Edimax switch in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

default: Edimax Smart Plug
type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
## {% linkable_title Power consumption sensor %}
Starting with [version 2 of the firmware](https://www.edimax.com/edimax/download/download/data/edimax/global/download/), the Edimax switches can also report the current and accumulated daily power consumption in their state objects. Use a [template sensor](/components/sensor.template/) to extract their values:
{% raw %}
```yaml
- platform: template
sensors:
edimax_current_power:
friendly_name: Edimax Current power consumption
unit_of_measurement: 'W'
value_template: "{{ state_attr('switch.edimax_smart_plug', 'current_power_w') | replace('None', 0) }}"
edimax_total_power:
friendly_name: Edimax Accumulated daily power consumption
unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
value_template: "{{ state_attr('switch.edimax_smart_plug', 'today_energy_kwh') | replace('None', 0) }}"
```
{% endraw %}
Note that if the smart plug is off, these states report the string `None`. By using a `replace()` in the template, these sensors report purely numerical values.
