Edimax	Instructions on how to integrate Edimax switches into Home Assistant.	Switch	pre 0.7	edimax

This edimax switch platform allows you to control the state of your Edimax switches.

To use your Edimax switch in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
  - platform: edimax
    host: 192.168.1.32

{% configuration %} host: description: "The IP address of your Edimax switch, e.g., 192.168.1.32." required: true type: string username: description: Your username for the Edimax switch. required: false default: admin type: string password: description: Your password for the Edimax switch. required: false default: 1234 type: string name: description: The name to use when displaying this switch. required: false default: Edimax Smart Plug type: string {% endconfiguration %}

Power consumption sensor

Starting with version 2 of the firmware, the Edimax switches can also report the current and accumulated daily power consumption in their state objects. Use a template sensor to extract their values:

{% raw %}

  - 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.
