Works perfectly with Homekit however to see power usage you'll have to use their app which is difficult to setup. Setup with Apple's Home app is relatively straightforward.

does this have power monitor for overall… or hour by hour?
It's overall by day and month but also shows power consumption in real-time.
So no hourly view? Do you know if you can export the date, eg. into a text file or a spreadsheet?
You can check the smart plug’s power usage history by selecting History Record in the Options section. In here, you can find the total kWh with respect to dates. If you want to download a copy of this, you can select Download Records in the Options section.
Thanks for the link; unfortunately, doesn't clarify at all.
No hourly view, no export.
Can it generate notifications when appliances stop drawing power (i.e. washing machine has finished)?
Would like to know this as well, and even better if it can connect to IFTTT?
No other integration other than Apple homekit — which does not talk directly to IFTTT unless you add a homebridge on raspberry pi.
Thank you! I was keen on the on in the OP as it has built in HomeKit support though.
The app is horrible. It clearly is not developed by native english speakers. Setup is painful — I added via home app, and had to delete and repair to add it in the Cygnett app so I could get power measurements. Setting up a Cygnett account was also a pain and took several tries before it would let me register. No other integrations that I can see.
Seems like it'll block the neighbouring outlet.
Edit: Actually, nevermind, I didn't look carefully enough. Designed for the right socket it looks like.
