Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners

Hi there,

I want to track the usage of my washing machine.
For this I plan to install a powerplug with powermeter.

I need this for two use cases:

  • Switch Power on and off
  • Use the power consumption to check if mashine is finished

I know there are a lot of devices supporting this, but which ones are tested and working with openhab?
Do you have any suggestions, what to use for that?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you.

For a washing machine, take note of wattage ratings. Many of the power switching gizmos are not rated for heavy duty machines with heaters etc.
