The Emulated Kasa {% term integration %} emulates a TP-Link Kasa smart plug and announces the power usage of configured devices to any that might request it on the local network.

For example, the Sense Energy Monitor can use this to identify power usage.

The configuration includes a list of entities to expose with attributes for the published name and current power usage. If the entity is a sensor, that value will be reported as the current power usage unless the power field is defined. The power field can contain a hardcoded value, a sensor, or a template (see configuration example).

{% note %} The provided power unit must be the current power usage in Watts. Values of kW can be converted, but the values of kWh cannot be used. {% endnote %}

Configuration

This {% term integration %} requires the entities exposed to be listed in your {% term "configuration.yaml" %} file. {% include integrations/restart_ha_after_config_inclusion.md %}

# Example configuration.yaml entry
emulated_kasa:
  entities:
    light.dining_room:
      power: 40.2

{% configuration %} entities: description: A list of entities exposed. required: true type: map keys: name: description: Name visible to external devices. required: false type: string power: description: The current power usage in watts. This can be set to a static value or a template. required: false type: [integer,float,template] power_entity: description: A sensor measuring the current power usage in watts. required: false type: string {% endconfiguration %}

A full configuration sample looks like the one below.

# Example configuration.yaml entry

    # uses the sensor state value
    sensor.power_meter:
      name: "Power Meter"

      name: "Dining Room Lights"
      power: 40.2
    # uses template based on state of device

                {% elif is_state_attr('fan.ceiling_fan','speed', 'medium') %} 12
                {% elif is_state_attr('fan.ceiling_fan','speed', 'high') %} 48
                {% endif %}
    # uses value from 3rd party sensor
    light.wled:
      name: "Strip Lights"
      power_entity: sensor.light_power_w
    # uses template to convert device state into watts
    sensor.ups_kw:
      name: UPS Power
      power: "{{ float(states('sensor.ups_kw')) * 1000 }}"
