I have a tuya switch that monitors the power. I got it integrated by using the iot cloud driver but do not see a way to monitor the power from it. Is there any way possible to monitor the power from this plug? I'd like to use it for my washing machine and move my Samsung plug eventually to my dishwasher when I get it fixed.
I probably can't help you, but maybe someone can if you give more information. What is the model of the Tuya switch. What driver are you using?
Which driver are you using?
Tuya IoT Platform (Cloud)
I do ddnot know whether you are in USA or elsewhere. If you are on 120V service, I suspect that the Tuya smartplug is not designed to handle the starting amperage of a washer motor. Depending upon your model of washer, it can draw up to 20 amps of current.
I use a Zooz Zen15 power plug on my clothes washer. It is designed to handle in the inrush current of appliances on startup. It is a Z-wave device and costs more than the inexpensive Tuya device.
