Hello
There are plenty of smart plugs around and some with power monitoring.
I am looking for one that can turn off say after 5 min if power consumption drops to a certain level.
I have Sonoff one and it can monitor power but cannot do a power off after event is activated

The tplink casa ones, hs110 have a reversed engineered protocol that has a pre-made python file

So you could make a python script to query the usage and then turn off the relay as desired.
I don't have an hs110 so I can't check what it returns for the energy meter but the above script works with my hs100. Just … Don't upgrade the firmware as soon as you onboard the wifi switch - just in case it cripples it for the above script.
Nb: I did not make the above script.
Can you explain summary of it in simple words please ?
what about something natively without extra software?
Even if this is not supported natively, you can probably do it using services like IFTTT or Yonomi.
