When you talk about smart plugs, you should also mention how much energy the plug itself use so they people can compare of it's efficient than other plugs

Is HA better on the Pi or NAS? Does the Tado work with the Nest?

[TheDropForged]

Great Review Pete!! I too have Conexis L1 but I haven't been able to connect to HA. I always get errors. Did you have any sort of issue when integrating?
