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:
```yaml
# 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](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](/integrations/template) to extract their values:
{% raw %}
```yaml
template:
- sensor:
- name: Edimax Current power consumption
unit_of_measurement: "W"
state: "{{ state_attr('switch.edimax_smart_plug', 'current_power_w') | default(0, true) }}"
- name: Edimax Accumulated daily power consumption
unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
state: "{{ state_attr('switch.edimax_smart_plug', 'today_energy_kwh') | default(0, true) }}"
```
{% 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.
