  Hey boss

  Does this have seperate controllable ports? If not I guess I’ll prob have to go Genio instead :(

    Unfortunately not. One relay for the 8 outlets. All or nothing. And USBs are always on

  I'm going to upload the template to the Tasmota database shortly.

  You legend

  Template under review. Here it is if someone is curious:

  {"NAME":"AP8W-0124","GPIO":[0,0,0,3104,0,0,0,0,32,544,224,0,0,0],"FLAG":0,"BASE":18}

    Did you get the energy chip working?

    Mine just sits there are at zero current.

    I used the sensors binary, i'll try the standard one

    Oh, got it working. Mucked up re-soldering the RX pin 😅

    Might want to base the config off one of the Sonoff units that has the CSE7759 chip inside, and associate the other side for TX, even though it is not used

    {"NAME":"AP8W-0124","GPIO":[0,3072,0,3104,0,0,0,0,32,544,224,0,0,0],"FLAG":0,"BASE":41}

    Unlike a lot of other energy chips, this one communicates to the WIFI chip digitally so all measurement is done on the CSE chip.
    Reading the datasheet for the CSE chip, it is required to be calibrated during manufacture.

    After flashing and getting energy readings, I checked my board with a calibrated meter and it was bang on without doing and calibration through Tasmota
